    The Seiko SFP608 is by far the closest to the Cartier Tank. Simple and clean, no big solar branding or shadow stripes on the face as seen on the Seiko SUP880

    Bought the wife a SUP880 last time you showcased it. She loves it. Solar was a winner. We swapped out the strap and that watch pops now.

    I have the Seiko SUP880 and I absolutely love it. It's a neat little watch that definitely works well as a dress watch. Super classy looking, especially for the price.

    Your must - Cartier is beautiful. The mixed colored metal are gorgeous. I love the vintage feel it has since the pleated gold layer is slightly fading off. I managed to buy myself a classic small original Cartier tank solo after long budget calculation a few days ago. How beautiful is this little object. I’m always taking a second to look at it, feel the metal weight, the quality smell.....all the little details. What a pleasure. Yet of course, far from the affordable watches you have found here. Thank you for your expertise.

    Nothing can replace a Cartier Tank, especially the classic dial tank. It’s a watch that has more iconic presence than all watches in existence. When you see a Cartier tank, you immediately recognize it. Even people that are not into watches recognize it and that’s the power of this watch. To transcend out of the watch realm and still be recognized.

      I think the "power of the watch" is extremely subjective. I dont care if other recognize what is the watch that I am wearing. So to me, that is absolutely powerless aspect. I still dont understand what's the point of having other people recognizing your watch

    Casio make a few very affordable ones. I almost went with the Zomo Adore but pulled the trigger on the SUP880. Just felt the size was more similar to tank....wish they had a silver version though. Gold is not my thing but it's growing on me.

    I tried on a Bulova tank a few weeks ago, and it was so lovely on my wrist. Loving the leather strap. Unfortunately, it had an open heart I didn't care for. But their Frank Sinatra line seems to be quite popular, and more affordable.

  • @dboygoode
    @dboygoode 6 років тому +8

    I think the best deals for this type of watch would come from the vintage market, which you mentioned. I like the Bulovas and Waltham's in the square style. Waltham's can be picked up for next to nothing.

    I do have that Tissot TXL chrono with a silver/white face. I was lucky enough to get one as they are a bit scarce now. The lug width is 16 mm so you will have to carefully trim leather straps to fit it. I hate the metal bracelet. It is too stiff. It is quartz (doesn't bother me) but is is very well-made and wears like a champ on the wrist. A bit of a nod to the Cartier tank but more versatile with 100 meters of water resistance. Sapphire crystal too. I love mine and will never sell it.

    The Seiko 880 for me looks great I just wish it was not gold and the fact it says SOLAR in a font far too big. The real winner is the Frederique Constant which looks even nicer than the Cartier for me. Sorry mate.
    I like the Jean Richard Grand TV Screen,, a real beauty.

    Hi Jory - Do you know the Korean gentlemen (Jeff) on Hill Street who seems to always have pre-owned Cartier Tanks. He's been there over 30 years, I purchased my first Cartier (Must, all black dial) from him back in '82 (new, $400). Corum and Tiffany did decent homages, but of course higher price level. Good tip as to going vintage, I have a Lord Elgin rectangular, which is a beauty. Many of the vintage pieces have GF cases or even solid gold. As you are aware, it's important to upgrade the leather to add to the elegance of a piece or in the case of Cartier to go genuine. Best Regards, JP

    So true what you say about holding value... I lost my cartier tank (literally dropped it in the driveway accidentally) and was looking at buying a second hand watch. was pretty shocked at how cheap they were R54k new and R18-30k secondhand?? The biggest problem of course was doing all the checks for authenticity but I had that waxed... And it irritates me that they destroy the watches they have in surplus in order to keep the prices up. Insurance company regulations are ridiculous, like you literally have to keep it in the safe they want when you take it off for gym etc. Too much stress so I'm definitely in the market for a watch with a great classic design like the tank francaise without the price and heartache if it gets lost or stolen.

  • @jamespaul481

    Since there was that Seiko sup896,I think my watch is a decent tank alternative, the CITIZEN BM 6788-05A, textured dial, rose gold case and hands (of steel of course),a blue seconds hand, it's discontinued, so it's rare...It set me back 12000 INR which is like 200$
    There's also a CITIZEN BM6782-01B, which I think is a good alternative.
