  • @IamJoppe
    very good video! searching for a tank now for about 5 months, this reassured me that i am doing the right thing.
  • @mozebulbulia
    I'd love to see you review the new Tank Must XL.
  • @tychovanvugt5531
    Very interesting video Rashid! This has raised my interest in Cartier
  • @hestolemyname1352
    Dress watches are not my style. They don't fit in with my lifestyle but for me this is the only dress watch I would seriously consider buying... well this or the Reverso. Thank you once again for the Video and the in depth insight into this timeless piece. Superb Video Midas Rashid!
  • @thesceptic1018
    Very enjoyable - a follow up video on all the different limited edition fun variants would be welcome (crash, asymmetric, basculante, obus etc)
  • @okcool7444
    Fabulous video. I’m just getting into the history or fine jewelry and watches, this was a great introduction. Thank you!
  • @THX-C
    I love the Tank. It and the Patek Ref 96 have defined the wristwatch for nearly a century. I’ve got a stainless Must quartz but really want a gold Normale.
  • @edwardtang1977
    No square/rectangular watch look as good as a Cartier tank. I've been looking for a cheaper alternative since I was young. Nope, none!
  • @alexanderromano3166
    Can you identify the model number and year of the tank pictured at the end of the video with the video caption?
  • @Olrik974
    Very informative and well researched. I'd be interested in seeing your take on the Omega la Magique (undervalued considering how few were made?) and if this was actually the watch worn by Al Pacino in Scarface (I don't think it was but am not sure what it was)...
