Is Cartier Tank Must Large too Small for Men? 6 Months Ownership Experience.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I am sharing my Cartier Tank Must Large ownership experience. I have had this watch for about 6 months already and here is what I think. The reference number of the watch is WSTA0041.

I find it hard to spend a lot of money on any quartz watch, but I think for the Tank I would make an exception. As opposed to the Tank Solo, the Tank Must large has the same shape and dimensions as the Tank Louis. And while there are other options - the Française, the Américaine - the Tank is the Tank. Timeless classic. This design is just right at this size.

It is a high price to pay for a quartz watch indeed. But with the Tank it works for some reason.

@@thano9465 yes & yes :) Quartz watches are great. More accurate and durable when withstanding shock, etc. It will still be running if you don’t wear it for a few days, and the new batteries last a very long time. It’s also easier to count down the seconds which is useful in more tactical applications. Everyone should have a quartz or two in their collection.

Im 6'5" 250 and I prefer the small tank solo. It all comes down to the design of the watch.
As an owner I’d say it’s a perfect size. A little bigger than the OG references - but still nice and discreet. The XL is an abomination!

The XL is an Abomination if you have a Wrist of a Fruitcake. Mine is 8". This particular Quartz version to me is a Scam as its basically a $100 Seiko. That's why He complains it Feels Cheap. When you're spending $Thousands on a watch it better be Automatic which the XL is !

55 year watch enthusiast... Cartier or JLC, make an excellent choice! In my opinion, this size is very good for a classy gentleman, and it can be worn everyday and in all occasions. Bravo! I have worn a Piaget Protocole for over 35 years, similar size. No problem! I like prefer enamel white dials with black Roman numerals. Trends seem to indicate that smaller watches will be in higher demand as time goes by. For what it's worth, I think you made a wise choice, and if a Reverso works out more to your satisfaction, so much the better!

I bought it on the bracelet, and it feels much more substantial. The bracelet is well finished, solid, and definitely lends to the feel of substance. I also bought the automatic version. With the addition of the rotor and mechanical parts, it also gives the watch a bit more "heft.." As for the size? It doesn't look out of place on my 7.5 inch wrist. It's not huge, but I don't think a dress watch should be. That said I love the IWC Portofino manual wind, at 45mm, but its an exception!

Try the Americain I almost bought the Tank XL until I put on the Americain. No mistaken if it’s a Cartier, but with an unconventional twist. Also versatile enough even with jeans. Also have a Reverso Duo. Completely different energy and much more serious than either Tank. Classy, elegant, but not sexy. Boardroom, not bedroom, lol.

The Tank Must Large is perfect dimensions for a tank. It's supposed to be small and elegant. I absolutely love the size of the large tank must. anyone who says it's a women's watch or is too small for straight men (looking at you andersbomortensen757 and OkieSilverDude) have a major inferiority complex and aren't comfortable with smaller watches nor their own sexuality. Muhammed Ali wore a a tank with the same dimensions, and plenty of other historical icons have a wore a tank with the same dimensions as well. The Tank Must Large is the proper historical size and wears as such. If you want the bigger tank then go for the XL. But this is still man's watch that poises absolute class and elegance. You don't need a big watch to be a man, or to be straight. Same goes for those who prefer a DJ 36 instead of a 41. The DJ 36 is the classic size. Those who bash that and compensate with the 41 when the 36 fits them just fine are just insecure. Some wrists may be very large to a point where the tank large or DJ36 does look too small, but even then, you wear what you like and don't care what anybody else says.
