The "Cartier Must Tank" that arrived today is a valuable early model.
No matter what they say, you don't really understand, right?
It's a bit of a maniac story, but
Those that have the "must de" notation on the mast tank are those produced from 1977 onwards.
The announcement itself was made in 1976, so it is possible that some of it was distributed from that year.
The exact year of manufacture cannot be determined with Cartier watches, so this is just an estimate.
However, the early details are slightly different from the later ones,
The most obvious part is the secret sign on the 7 o'clock index on the dial.
This is said to have been invented in 1978 to prevent counterfeit products.
However, not all products have a secret signature,
From luxury items such as solid gold models.
Later, in 1984, all products had a secret signature.
Just because it doesn't have this secret sign doesn't mean it's a redundant or custom item.
Including this must tank,
There is no secret sign on the pre-mast tank either.
There were some items that were not included in the Tank Louis that we sold in the past.
Well, to be honest, it's not a big deal if the watch is in good condition.
In the case of the earliest must tank, if there is no secret sign,
The engraving on the case is also slightly different from the usual one.
If you understand this, you're quite an enthusiast.
I don't know,
I really want to know
If so, please buy it...
Oh my God (lol)
