No need for anymore watch threads
NOOOOOOO B-B-B-BUT WHAT ABOUT MY GRAND SEIKO???!!!!
>>18685050Okay. Post yours then (if you even have one).
>>18685060nta but I have a question turk, is this real? Like there is no crown, how does this watch work?
>>18685062It’s an old timey 1960s watch that a man bought for his wife while on a honeymoon in Switzerland but they both died so the daughter sold it for 300 bucks to me. I took it to a Jeweler to check out. He told me that it is an authentic 50s or 60s model but that it sustained so mix water damage and rust that he can’t fix the gears so I just wear it like a bracelet basically. No one even needs a watch to check the time anyway.
>>18685062The crown and original strap both tore/ fell off btw. When I initially got it it didn’t have the sapphire bezel and the crown was barely holding on anyway. It fell off and is lost. Idk
poorlex sex
>>18685050Any more, not anymore.
>>18685055you lost tranny
>>18685117>not a tank frenchsorry you bought a watch that isnt the King of Watches
>>18685120If I had the money for it I would get either the Tank-Chinoise or the Tank-Guitry.
>>18685068>so the daughter sold ithow do people do this
>>18685117why does it say SD on the crown? lmao, he doesn't even have an HD watch
>>18685060Are you serious?
>>18685163She probably needed the money I imagine.>>18685364Yes?
>>18685214>he doesnt tell his time in 4Kngmi
you lost tranny
>>18685540Who lost? You don't even own that watch. You don't get to insult anyone with your faggy stock images, incel.
>>18685586(you) lost (tranny)
>>18685590Why are you posting watches you don't own? lolLOSER
>>18685540Why would you post that? You can't possibly think that's better than a Cartier , can you? That would be pretty fucking embarrassing
>>18685590>japan Into the trash it goes
But does it reverse?
The back scratches itself upon reversal, but it’s all good. I wish MY back would scratch itself. Haha
>>18685474>Yes?Do you not know how to pick watches that fit well on your wrist?
>>18685636How is it not better?>>18685637Ummm Swiss quartz is trashTRANOIDS ARE SEETHING
>>18685805It is a 16 mm.
>>18685958It's a shitty jap brand and not a classy high class one like Cartier. You can't be that stupid...can you?
>>18686021It clearly doesn't fit.
Isn't it unsexy for you to buy from Richemont? I understand vintage buyers at least
>>18686238It looks fine. You’re probably a ‘new European’ who has to wear 32 milimeter watches because Rolex told you that’s the right size that real men wear.
>>1868623816 milimeter was the men’s size for wristwatches back in the 50s and 60s when this watch was made if you didn’t actually know that fyi. > The finishing touch to any man’s outfit is a timepiece. For Delon, more often than not, that was an elegant little Cartier Tank. For a truly authentic vintage look, opt for the small model—the proportions are true to what men were wearing in the 60s.https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/channel-timeless-style-french-film-150026969.html
>>18685050Not the gucci animal head watch?
>>18685060you're wearing a tank meant for a woman
>>18686368Yes I know. It is 16 mm which is actually for both genders though it was initially bought for a woman. See post above. Smaller models were a men’s thing in past decades.
>>18686033French are poofter nigger worshippers, Japs are bros
>>18686321>>18686390It's not the 50s' anymore faggot
>>1868648612 or 14 mm would definitely be a faggot watch but 16 mm is the lowest threshold for acceptable. Delon wore 16 mm.
>>18686697You guys are maximum insecure.
Best cheap seiko/citizen in a similar style?
>>18686390>it was initially bought for a woman.we accept your concession.
>>18686748The 16 mm model is dual sex.
>>18686727There’s nothing insecure. The guy is just an idiot. The watch fits fine. You are all probably Mexicans and Turks who buy 32 mm Rolexes and wear t shirts with GUCCI on it in huge font. 16 mm is acceptable for a tank.
>>18686748Actor Jean Paul Belmondo
>>18686697No fucking way. The modern Cartier tank small is 22. The threshold for a guy would be medium at 25. Just because famous people did it doesn't make it not gay which people will think you are.
>>18686989Where's the watch in this one? Nothing is circled
>>18686989No one except watch autists like you would notice or care. You have sour grapes that I own a tank and you don’t. That is all it is.
I love the Tank but I'd go for something like a vintage Patek/Vacheron or one these small Reverso.The Tank has kinda been ruined by all these Instagram "menswear influencers" cosplaying as Alain Delon. It's the watch of the french bourgeoisie and wearing one would feel like larping.
>>18686774Your Tank doesn't fit your wrist. Accept you made a big financial mistake.>>18686812Retarded anon doesn't know how to find a watch that fits like Belmondo.
>>18687248It is the “trad” size I am intentionally going for though.>Famous actors and style icons who wore smaller, classic-sized Cartier Tanks (often in the ~16-24mm range typical of vintage models) include Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Alain Delon, and Rudolph Valentino. These vintage, often unisex, sizes were favoured for their elegant, understated look on screen and in daily life. South China Morning Post
>>18687247>> The Tank has kinda been ruined by all these Instagram "menswear influencers" cosplaying as Alain Delon.It’s ruined for you by people trying to imitate a famous style icon. Ice cream was also ruined for me by so many other people eating ice cream.
>>18687357All the "trad sizing pictures" shown so far include men who have properly fitted watches.
>>18687568I literally posted something from AI/ south China post apparently which states that all those men wore 16 mm and that that size was considered dual sex in the 20s- 60s. I don’t see why you are so attached to this besides just pure sour grapes that you don’t have a watch.
>>18687036>No one except watch autists like you would notice or care.Nope, everyone will notice. They'll think you're wearing a girls watch and think you're gay
>>18687773If someone is enough of a dilettante to not recognize that 16 - 24mm were the traditional sizes for mens watches throughout the 20th century then I don't want their respect anyhow. Literally none of the Tanks I posted itt exceed 24mm.
>>18687773Also "Credor" is not a Cartier Tank. No one cares about whatever Credor is. Credor is not anything with name recognition. It's not the Delon/ Belmondo/ European and Hollywood actor watch.
>>18687358I mean, I get what that anon has been saying. I see A LOT of trashy people wearing tanks every single day and it has definitely turned me off from wanting one.
>>18687773bro nobody thinks a tank is gay, they think it is stylish, classy, and marks you out as rich. That horrible ugly thing you have on your wrist? People will be reaching for the tenofovir
>>18688120I've seen Mexican low classes wear overpriced Rolexes but I've never seen an irl Tank. You all are just making random shit up.
>>18688123It's not just the Tank he dislikes. It is the fact I wear a 16 mm model (even though as I posted in the excerpt above, the 16 mm Tank was considered a staple of 20th c menswear for a long time).
>>18688137>was considered a staple of 20th c menswear for a long timeKeyword here is WAS. Times change and you can't go back. Guys wore big retarded periwigs in the 17th and 18th century. Do that shit now and you'll be laughed out, just like your womens watch.
>>18688152This board really needs IDs. I just now realized you're the dude posting Credor at the beginning of the thread >>18685540>>18685590>>18685958And you have sour grapes that your posts were basically ignored and no one is impressive with your Credor piece of crap (what is Credor? I never heard of it).You just have sour grapes against the Cartier Tank that it is synonymous with classic style while Credor is just an abomination.
>>18688591>You just have sour grapes against the Cartier TankI like Cartier just have a problem with (you) trying to larp like you're from the 40s'.
I looked around for a square tool watch but I didn't find anything, I will just keep wearing my gwm5610
Hundred bucks

>>18688598
>>18688598It is literally a piece of history. >It is estimated that fewer than 6,000 Cartier Tank watches were produced in the first half-century of their existence (1919–1960s). BeckerTimeBeckerTimeKey Production Facts for Early Cartier Tanks (Pre-1960):>Total Production: Between 1920 and 1960, the total number of Cartier wristwatches produced was less than 15,000, with a significantly smaller subset being Tanks.Initial Launch (1919): Only six pieces were created for the initial public launch.Early 1920s: In 1920, 33 were made, and by the end of that decade, production averaged just 104 watches per year.Depression/War Era: Due to the Great Depression and World War II, production remained extremely low; in one five-year period after 1929, only 102 Tanks were sold in total.>Rarity: Production did not exceed 1,000 pieces a year until the early 1960s, making any Tank from this era exceptionally rareIt was appraised as belonging to this era at the Jeweler I took it to. I feel like I am one with Mastroianni/ Belmondo/ Delon when I wear it. I don't like you trying to make that seem like a lame or cringe thing.
>>18690472NTA but you're pretty fucking desperate to defend your little tanks. I have some little tanks too, but I don't give a rip what some troll thinks of them. Why aren't you more secure in your own masculinity? Why are you trying so hard to sell idiots who wear 44mm divers on classing it up?Besides that, the trolls here can't back up shit. They don't even have watches. They're just here to spread negativity and unearned superior attitudes. Taste is subjective. Don't get into debates over what looks cool or manly, there's no winner.
>>18690492I was extremely hesitant to show my watch but not because of the 16 mm size but rather because the gears are all rusted and it doesn't work...It sounds cringe but since this watch was literally purchased at 13 Rue de la paix (I know that the watch was bought directly from Cartier's store for the wife in Europe and there were only two Cartier stores at that time apparently) that means it was bought at the same place where Delon/ Belmondo/ Deprdieu and all those guys went shopping for their watches - the same exact store. To me, it feels like I am connected to them all in a way.That guy peeves me a little because he's trying to make something cool seem lame.
>>18685050Bumping to remind the wt nerds
>>18690494Dude, he's a troll. I found a watch of my dad's a while back and posted it and no one even made fun of the tiny size. Someone called it fake and another guy insisted I bought it on ebay and fabricated the story that it was my dad's. Just wouldn't let it go. Just like the incel dingus calling yours fake. These people hate guys with wives and normal social lives who aren't afraid to be who they are. But you're never going to convince them tanks aren't lame. He probably doesn't even think that. He's just resentful of you and miserable about himself. Those people hate themselves so just laugh at them. Or keep arguing, but it won't do any good. They're trolls.
>>18690494are you the guy who posted the tank? it's dope. The fact it doesnt work is a plus, not a minus. The troll is trolling or a dork if he actually cares about it working or not. Size is fine. This giant watch thing is a new invention, it's barbarism. Your watch is based the troll is cringe.
>>18690829Thank you, Fren! I appreciate it.
>>18690472>It is literally a piece of historyDon't care>I feel like I am one with Mastroianni/ Belmondo/ Delon when I wear it. I don't like you trying to make that seem like a lame or cringe thing.Seem like... watch doesn't even run lmfao
>>18690889>I feel like I am one with Mastroianni/ Belmondo/ Delon when I wear itI like the watch, but that's the fucking gayest thing I've ever heard dude
>>18690899You should have been here a month ago when a nurse was trying to spend $2,500 on a Resident Evil themed Hamilton because he NEEDS to feel like a video game character. The whole "makes me feel like...." thing is a little lame, but a historical figure is more romantic than a zombie shooting thing that isn't real in the first place.
>>18690899I understood that when I typed it that others would see it that way. I just don’t care. I mean to me personally, trolls entering watch threads and starting fights to be funny, posting literal clip art of watches they’ll never own- now that is cringe.
>>18691002I have a very similar range in my kitchen.
>>18691002Maybe you should get it fixed, otherwise its a pretty lame flex. >>18690611So now it was at your Dads house? Last time it was in your basement.
>>18691010-I inherited my childhood home. :lol, is your watch a jesus freak? What's with that fucking fish on there? Guess the front is so embarrassing you show off the back instead. Never seen a gerbil before.
>>18691003>>18691010Generally I try not to post pictures of myself ie my things on the internet but I wanted to share what I typically pair the watch with.In this picture, two Burberry coats- the ‘Pimlico’ model single breasted car coat and a double breasted model with a belt. The hat is the newsboy cap from South Korean brand ‘Varzar.’ I go for an early 20th c look pairing all these together. I have other dress clothes too that go with them.
Stop posting ugly credors in the beautiful Tank thread
Today’s outfit: aquascutum jacket, Varzar hat and Barbour scarf - all put together by the Cartier tank 15705This look is supposed to be 1930s influenced.
>>18691022Of course you haven't heard of Gevril.>>18691393Jackets too small for you.
>>18691393Cute, wanna cuddle?
>>18691393hahahahaha this is exactly how I picture most of you autists actually look like
>>18691519>>18691621Love you too bby ~
>>18691621This is me in less formal attire btw. Sometimes I like to dress trad/ older style but sometimes I don’t. It works for me and it’s what I like.I don’t watch him at all but reviewbrah is sort of an inspiration to me. I like how he dresses that way all the time and is cool with it.
Whats the CASIO (Chad version) version of this meme?
>>18691684>chad>memeFucking nonsense.
>>18691684A9w00 or whatever
>>18691519>turk >credorPlease leave, this is a civilized thread
>>18691684What meme? Are you asking for the best Casio?
for me it's my CASIO WORLD TIME SALARMS ILLUMINATOR
Is it possible to train yourself to read analog as fast as digital or am I going to using a casio forever?
>>18691722If you're struggling to read analog, you shouldn't be in this hobby. Use your phone instead.
>>18691722are you joking? You really don't even need the numbers anon, you just look at the hands and know the time after a bit
>>18691722So you lack the skill first graders used to have?
tanks are based and i will never buy a credor after seeing the shill here
>>18692149This guy clearly is having some sort of mental break right now. In several threads that mention Cartier Tank he is going in and posting videos of his Credor like this >>18692163I don’t see why he doesn’t make a new thread about the Credor if he wants to shill for it. It is like Cartier existing at all upsets him because it’s a competing product in his mind taking away potential customers from Credor. That is just really a screwed up way of looking at watches but whatever. :/
>>18692179Pls get help, dude (genuinely that is advice. Not a put down).
>>18691722I knew frogposters were actual retards.
>>18692287I see trolls like this in other threads and on other boards. The stubborn tenacity to start doing something even more once they're called out for it. These are very disturbed and miserable people. The type of people for whom negative attention is better than none, and can certainly be more easily attained by them historically. I personally cannot imagine how they think. But then again I'm not emotionally damaged.
>>18692675thanks, I'll never brush my teeth with a seiko credor again
>too small faggot watch, it's not the 1950s anymore>no wrist presence, too small for a real man like me
>>18692929Yes, that do be how it is
>>18692929this was funny 10 years ago
>>18692929This is currently funny and will still be hilarious a decade from now. Some snob talking shit on your watch? That's his wrist. Minus the actual Rolex though.
>>18693272And it is still funny today too.
>>18692675What a strange and unhinged video from a strange and unhinged man.
>>18693281For real. I don't understand these people and their compulsive posting. Why can't they just like their brand without constantly foisting it on everyone in weird ways.
>>18693286The only reason I initially let myself get baited by that guy was that the thread was on page 10 and I just wanted an excuse to post my watch as well as other historic people wearing Cartier so I was replying to him just to bump the thread. At this point, he just seems odd.
Credor guy, you have no history. Your watch isnt cool. Jfk never wore it. Do you understand? Now leave.
>>18693802> is estimated that fewer than 6,000 Cartier Tank watches were made and sold between their introduction (1917-1919) and 1969. Production was extremely limited in the early years, with only six produced in 1919, 33 in 1920, and an average of 104 per year during the 1920s>> 6WTS] Cartier Tank Louis Vintage 23x30MM Silver Dial Leather Strap ...The Cartier Tank reference 15705 (often referred to as a "Pre-Must" Tank Vermeil) was primarily produced during the 1970s, specifically appearing in listings from roughly 1969 to 1972 or more generally throughout the 1970s. It is a gold-plated, manual-wind model often described as a 23mm or medium-sized "Tank Vermeil"I am one of the “six thousand” (probably this watch is at least within the first 10- 15,000 Tanks produced at minimum latest date of production)
>>18693802Just for comparison, here is the closest thing probably to a mint condition Tank 15705 I found with a Google searchhttps://everywatch.com/cartier/tank/watch-12854591The condition is better than mine but first thing that grabbed my attention was that it also has a lot of chips and cracks on the clock face.
I drink peepee and eat poopoo
>>18695018how is the ladies seiko on a man's wrist? the man's version is too blocky and big and retarded
Bump to trigger wt
>>18695113Have a bump. I guess. Idk Im boredAre you just trying to get this to bump limit now with random watch pics?
>>18695018>poor man's tank
I'm going to go to swiss thrift stores in rich areas until I find one of those priced by someone that had no idea what they were doing.
>>18697196Peepee Poopoo>>18697204Retard
>>18697204If you live in Switzerland, that sounds like a great idea. I wish you luck! Ignore the hater who replied to you. That sounds like a really good plan.
>>18697249The best tank is made by Seiko.. Figures.
>>18697528I wouldnt pay money for an overpriced watch that is going to get a cracked dial in the future and the company thinks its a feature, kek. I would rather get the Seiko one. As usual Jap watches totally mogging Swiss ones.
>>18697600Okay, you can buy Seiko if you want to. Just don’t try and dissuade the Swiss anon from buying what he likes.
>>18697605Why are you defending the Swiss and their bullshit prices?This one is TOO cheap though. There's a middle ground.

>>18686809idk if you're just using this as a similar example or not but, JFK isn't wearing a Cartier here, t.know nothing about watches just know about JFK lul>>18685050I love the look of the tank but I don't like the blue highlights, and I'm broke as fuck. Any alternatives? Already know of the Seiko and Casio versions. I don't care about the mechanism quality or wtv stone it uses or anything like that lol, just the aesthetics of it.
>>18697915>> Yes, John F. Kennedy owned and wore a yellow gold Cartier Tank Louis, which was a 1957 fourth-wedding-anniversary gift from Jacqueline Kennedy, engraved with his initials, the family crest, and their wedding date. While often associated with his "Omega Ultra Thin," photographic evidence shows him wearing the Cartier Tank, particularly in 1962 and 1963.
>>18697915I looked it up just now. Apparently it’s an Omega ultra thin in the photo but his tank is the one he was wearing when he was shot.
This is new old stock for $80. Pretty cool.
