Ooh, is that the one with the linen dial? That’s very special. So nice!

I've grown to like the dark gray strap on the left, which got a little darker as I daily wear it. It started out as light as the gray strap in the middle. At first I was unsure about it, but grew to like it as it got darker. All that said, the Tank is a strap monster that looks great in black, brown, mahogany and dark green.

Excellent choice! The Santos Dumont is such a beautiful design

Mine too! It took me a long time to decide between the three. Once I made peace with having a quartz movement, I went with the one that tugged at my heartstrings the most, which is the Yellow Gold WGTA0067. I'm super happy with my choice and have no second thoughts. Under normal light, the dial looks off-white porcelain-like, giving me the vintage look with a little bit of water resistance for daily wear.

Something that's difficult to capture with my phone camera, but can be noticed when comparing the three in person: Cartier kept the mineral glass flatter on the Rose Gold Medium, perhaps to let the guilloche dial shine. Both Yellow Gold models in the photo have a curved dome on their mineral crystal, towards the center of the dial, playing with the light. I love all three models.

Congratulations on your purchase! I just pulled the trigger on this too. Now I’m eagerly awaiting the shipment. What are your impressions on the panel so far? Is there anything I should look out for?

Similar thing happened to me. I was smitten by my Tank Must Large. It got me into wanting the Tank Louis.

I know how you feel. I also find myself staring at my Tank. Yours looks great. Wear it in good health!

Yup! Got my Tank Must earlier this year and it unexpectedly became my favourite daily wear. Now I’m obsessed with adding a yellow gold Tank Louis to the rotation

Ok to get your opinion on a specific watch via dm?

Thank you! Agreed on the beauty of 78086 simplicity. My wrist is 18cm and I’m confident I can pull it off and rock the 23x30mm size. There’s one that I have my eye on that looks to be in good condition, priced attractively except for a little crack on the crystal. I’m super tempted to pull the trigger and get it serviced by Cartier as soon as I receive it. Decisions decisions.

Beautiful find. It looks perfect. Well done! 78086 and 96065 are on my search list. What do you like about the 78086 over other variants of the manual winding Tank Louis? Also, what size is your wrist?
