Pics of Cartier Tank Full Diamond Bezel/Dial/Everything else

[ahw676]

Some of you may know that my tastes do not run to blingy watches. But my boss' wife does not share that view; as such, I helped her to buy the Watcheden Cartier Tank with Diamond Everything Except Maybe the Hands.

You should know that there was a lot of pressure on this purchase. First, it's the wife of my boss. Second, she has a particularly discriminating eye, and could spot a facet flaw from fifty yards away. My boss was half convinced that he would either never see a watch, or else it would arrive with half the bling missing. Fortunately, Watcheden did not let us down. The order went out on a Thursday morning, watch was posted on Saturday, and arrived to the door the following Saturday.

Following are photos courtesy of my boss:

Well, the Cartier Tank Francaise is one of my favorites Cartier of all time...and I do like BLING, but that is a bit too much for me. Not for the bling itself, but the dial, is too busy IMHO.

I can barely read "Cartier" there and I really don´t know how they had it printed there...
...Once I almost bought a Cartier Tank for me, full yellow gold, with diamonds on the Case/Lugs...but ended up not getting it cause I was not sure about its quality, and I knew I wouldn´t wear it at all.
But someday, I´ll get myself a BLING Day-Date President... with Diamonds on the Bracelet, Lugs, and Bezel..

Just like this above, but with the Jubilee "computer dial"



Cheers,
Spirit.

Can't miss that watch on somebody's wrist.

...and the dial is a bit busy. I'm thinking... if they could have pulled it off, they would have pasted the "diamonds" on the hands as well.

Maybe that's coming on the V2.

Definitely not my taste but it looks like you did well with that purchase. Hopefully the boss's wife doesn't start complaining if something goes haywire with it.
Btw, any chance of you actually getting yourself a rep ahw?

I've thought about this a few times, why it is that I'm so reluctant to buy something for myself. My conclusion has been that watches, particularly women's watches, tend to be jewelry. And women, at least self-absorbed, conceited women, do not feel they should have to buy their own jewelry. This is what men are for. So really, I need to be shopping for a man to buy me a watch.

So where's the section on that and who's the best dealer to get me a 1:1 on--well, I don't even know whom to replicate. See the problem?

Hush up, now. You might get me fired.

Just kidding. Everyone knows I don't own a rep, except for the $12.50 Rolex Daytona I bought ten years ago in Shenzhen that I just found a few weeks ago back in a bathroom drawer (which, despite looking dreadful, still runs at least).

The watch I currently wear is a $5 one I picked up on a trip when I realized that I'd forgotten to bring one.

I have, however, bought a handful of reps, so I'm not entirely unqualified to comment on the process of purchasing reps. I just have not bought one for myself. But you're sweet to care. Or to be horrified, whichever the case may be.

Cubic Zirconia of that size will cost cents to acquire.

holy f^%k ...

..... my eyes

gaaa

I'm blind..

I like the bracelet, but the way the diamonds are set on the dial and case don't look good IMO, they're too far apart.

@Seventh: The Cartier logo is printed inside the crystal if I'm not mistaken.

I'll take a look when my eyes heal over from having so much bling directed at my pupils !

Sorry, Seventh, I guess I could have posted a "WEAR SUNGLASSES" warning.
