This isn’t a Tank Must, this is a Tank Solo (the previous version) and is labelled wrong on the Trustytime website. You can tell by the brancards; on the new tank must the brancards are rounded whereas the previous model Tank Solo has flat brancards. An easy way to tell is to just go to the Cartier website and compare the model https://www.cartier.com/en-us/watches/collections/tank/tank-must-watch-CRWSTA0041.html

The F1 factory you showed in your first post is actually a Tank Must, ( @frankengu you did a mistake).

At the moment, 2 factories are making the Tank Must : F1 and K11. Both are good.

The only noticeable difference is on the crown. The cabochon from K11 is a bit less pointed than the gen, while the cabochon from F1 is a bit more pointed than the gen. I personally have a K11 and it's good, but the F1 seems good too.

Sorry to jump into this thread but are their variations of the Must depending on region? In Oz the Must has a date at 6 in the large but I haven't seen that on any reps for Must's.

The date at 6 is only for the XL size with mechanical movement. Small and medium/large size have no date.

I don't know for the Santos, but concerning the Tank Must XL mechanical, it hasn't been released by any factories at the moment.

I am looking for a classic mens tank large in 41mm w/ black leather strap. Would prefer one with a clone ETA 2892 though most of the ones Ive seen sell with a Miyota 9015.
