The Cartier Must Tank, which arrived today, is a particularly popular Cartier vintage model.
Many people are probably looking for a hand-wound watch with a classic ivory Roman dial.
It was announced in 1976 and lined up from the following year.
Since it switched to a quartz model around 1984,
Short-term production with a production period of less than 10 years.
The interesting thing about mast tanks is that they have the same design but different machines.
Manual winding models have not been made since the birth of quartz, so
People who like mechanical watches often buy hand-wound models.
However, gold-plated watches that have been manufactured for over 40 years,
In addition to peeling off the gold on the exterior, there is also damage to the dial and glass in most cases.
There is a limit to how beautiful it can be, so
The only way to completely clean it up is to have the manufacturer replace the parts.
By the way, if you completely replace all parts of this mast tank,
Complete service approximately ¥62,000
Crown replacement approximately ¥8,000
Dial replacement approximately ¥38,000
Case & glass replacement approximately ¥250,000
Well, it's expensive.
When asked if I would realistically spend this much money to replace parts...
I think most people probably won't.
That said, I want an individual in good condition.
Good news for such people.
This individual has had its entire exterior replaced by Cartier in the past,
The condition is incredibly beautiful!!
I wouldn't say it's new, but it's pretty clean.
I don't know when it was replaced as the statement is not included.
It is in perfect condition as it has not been used often.
These individuals do not appear many times a year,
We also only come out through timing, which is partly due to luck.
Conditions like this never occur before,
The previous owner replaced the entire exterior,
Furthermore, unless you let go of it, you won't be able to meet it.
Although the number of watches itself is not extremely small,
The conditions are all so different that it can be said to be infinitely different.
The time to buy such a fulfilling individual is when you come across one.
I'm not trying to push you hard, there won't be a next time.
If you are looking for a mast tank in good condition, don't miss it!
