Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I thought they also were making a large Solarbeat model. I see no sign of that on their website though.

[@ianforber]

The Tank is a classic and I think the quartz version is the best version (normal quartz, not the solar version). That’s why I’m saving up for one rather than buying a perfectly good cheaper watch which any normal, rational person would do. It’s a Cartier and that’s what I want.

[@Not_me9791]

Doctor here, I appreciate your use of hydrophobic in a watch review.

[@Nefville]

I suppose that would make the majority of his watches hydrophilic

[@henkrpe3249]

Hydrophobic actually means it has water repelling properties, not that it is unsuitable for use in the presence of water. For example, you would apply a "hydrophobic coating" to things if you wanted to increase its water resistance. Dress watches are typically hydrophilic, because they don't have engineering to keep water out.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

I own 19 watches, all of them steel except one that is in gold. That one gold watch is Tank Louis. That watch just works. The perfect little gold dress watch for a man. Even a Calatrava or a Lange 1815 that costs 3 or 4 times more can't beat it. A clean dress shirt and a Tank, and boom, everyone knows you are a gentleman and you have good tastes. Very few material things can instantly elevate a man like that.

[@jbrent733]

New subscriber here. I heard someone once say that watch collecting leads to one (or both) of these watches: the Reverso or the Tank. I went with the Reverso, because it’s what spoke to me.

I own the exact same watch, I’ve done myself exact the same question, and I gave myself exact the same answer. Plus, I’ve a very small wrist so the comfort of having it on without even noticing, a thing that is not possible with others I own like the 58, it’s something very important for me.

[@christopherstombaugh6004]

I have gotten the Cartier bug too, in a big way with a Santos Dual Time, a Santos Carrée, and a vintage manual must de Cartier, but I still draw the line at quartz. It is, for me*, the bridge too far in a luxury watch brand. I just can’t get over it and I have no explanation other than tradition and the heartbeat effect? Your channel is tremendous must view content. Simply brilliant.

[@Jdinaz]

I own two cartiers. A Santos 100 large and a Must XL. I love them both. They are oddballs in my collection. They make me feel good, are comfortable.. and I wear them with polos and shorts.. all the time. They are much more versatile than one would think. One looks sporty. The other.. a little dressy.

[@jamesdaly1111]

I think there’s one combination of the Tank and Santos that have the same lug width so you can share the straps (not bracelets), but I might be wrong

[@Jdinaz]

@@jamesdaly1111 They are both actually 23mm... however the Santos 100 uses an integrated wedge shaped block for the lug mating and the Must XL is just a standard flat strap. No inter-operability... sadly. However, Nomad makes FANTASTIC aftermarket straps for both. They are really nice.

[@Anirossa]

@@MrSaadmubarak In the case you mention, they are not. I for one, enjoy both mechanical and quartz movements. I got German, Swizz and Japanese mechanical watches and Japanese and Swizz quartz watches. A waste percentage of watch enthusiasts does look down on quartz and quartz watches, however. So I'm trying to wake them up a little, so they can stop looking down at quartz the way they do.

[@MrSaadmubarak]

@@Anirossa so I think we agree that as long as someone doesn't put down others, it's not snobbery. Because at the end of the day, the whole hobby is somewhat illogical..

[@XirenDiogo]

My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from AMZWATCH

[@VMIyanks04]

In addition to your analysis which is spot on, I think we enthusiasts don’t mind paying for something more fragile and less accurate and more expensive maintenance because that’s part of what makes it special. It’s special because it requires all those things. Anyone can just go to Walmart and buy a cheap quartz watch, but not everyone finds joy and passion around the intricacies of luxury mechanical watches. There’s a lot to “explore” (if you see what I did there) and be fascinated with. None of this would make sense. If it did, then everyone would do it!

[@endusima]

I think the solarbeat is an excellent piece. It is one of a few pieces in my collection I feel will stay indefenitely.

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Good points. The Solar Tank is a genius move from Cartier. They’ve surely made good mechanical models but they are off cause more expensive. This is a “cheap” way to come by that historical design, and in praxis it functions as an automatic (-as long as it gets its light). It’s a lot of money for a quartz piece - but after all Cartier is mostly about the design.

[@mstreet647]

I've been blessed with the holy grail 7 inch wrists myself. And honestly, I don't care if they're Cartiers or Pateks. No quartz watch will ever grace the holy canvas that's my 7 inch wrist. I might put it on my forsaken right wrist every now and then but that's only when I want people to stay away from me.

[@cannedpineapple2702]

So I found a couple of months that tiffany created a “union square” watch with its signature color. I bought it.

Never been a quartz fan and I prefer a second hand but the quartz tank is very tempting.

[@kresimirpleic]

The vast majority of mechanical luxury watches contain mass produced, machine made and machine decorated movements that cost a few hundred dollars at the very most when ordered in bulk by watch brands. So, quartz shouldn't be seen as some magic recipe to drastically lower the price of any watch. If you think that quartz is cheap trash just because it is mass produced and machine made, then whatever movement is inside your Longines, Omega, Tudor, Breitling, Rolex or Grand Seiko is also trash because guess what - those movements are also mass produced, machine made and machine decorated. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it at all. Quartz is great, period. So is your Cartier.
