Who said it has no 3D effect? See mine (some posts above): it is AF and it has it...

The member who was bragging that his version was better? That one had good 3D effect (as AF has) but awful canion pin -> AF is the way to go

Just received mine today after waiting for a gazillion years.

It has the 3d effect and good pinion. I love it.
The supplied strap was too short for my 20cm wrists but that's ok since I'll be replacing it anyway.

The hands are a little bit off imo. K11 has better hands colour.

For the rest, it’s an easy watch to rep so not really impressed.

Still the best dress watch in the world. So class.

Is the movement on the Af also branded like on the k11 an F1?
Just got mine today and unfortunatly not. it has a ronda quartz movement but no cartier branding on it. honestly i was quite disappointed but then it's not an open back so it doesn't matter

There is barely any room on the movement for the battery.

Surprised this one is so hard to get. TDs I contacted said they don't have it and have to source. No estimate timeline given.

Does anyone know how to de-case this watch?
Do you have to unscrew the 4 side screws?

It seems my minute hand isn't fully pressed down all the way, would like to correct that.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I wrote 'these watches' I meant tank watches in general meaning both gen and rep. I never liked the IIII for 4. I'm a IV for 4 person. I know. I'm weird.
If you look at the entire dial it makes sense. They have four ‘I’ based digit’s, four ‘V’ based digits, and four ‘X’ based digits. I know what you mean by a technical standpoint but design and aesthetically I think they are correct.

Just to share some screen grabs from my QC video of the Tank Must AF. TD has provided a nice brown leather strap FOC in addition to the original black leather strap.

Just saw this on reddit.
Haven't found these listed on any TD sites, however I have contacted a few and they can get it.

As I understand it, AF or A-factory have made some good Cartiers in the past.

I’m a newbie.
I want to order a watch from “AF”. How do I order a watch from them? Do they have a website?
