Cartier Tank Francaise Reps

[SZP]

Hello I've done alot of research and it seems like a) this watch isn't repped well and b) 8848 is the best factory for it. I ordered one from geektime from 8848 and thought the face was too yellow so he let me switch it out to a tank must from K11 instead. Has anyone ever had a good tank francaise rep? Also I'm new to RWI so please be nice I'm open to any kind of feedback. Excited to be here!

a piece of advice.

I walked in the Cartier store to buy a Francaise. It did not click. The big brushed sides look nice on pics but in real life they are meh. Remember here I am talking of a gen in the best lighting conditions, new in the official store. The watch lacks the small bling factor that has to come with a watch like this.

I walked out with a Santos. Several thousand euros more than I planed to spend but the watch just clicked, I could not take it off. I had to have it.

So buy a Santos. You can take one of the non polished steel bezel models if you fear scratches.

IRL this is such a joy every time I wear it

The Tank Must is nice but buy with the bracelet. You will buy aftermarket straps anyway, it looks awesome with exotic leather.

I ended up buying a Tank francaise two tone from K11 factory. I am really happy with it. It's much better than the 8848 I redlighted. I haven't seen one in real life yet and this model is discontinued but from pictures I think it looks good.
