  1. Hi Freddy,

    Thanks very much for that. This forum has been a wealth of information.

    I ended up deciding on the Cartier Tank Francaise. I prefer the style of that better :-)

    Will definately post pictures when I receive it.

  2. So really it comes down to the preference of whether you want to hear the tick or not hear the tick?

    Because I was reading things like the sweep of a hand etc but I am guessing then that must only apply to the men's watches because of the seconds hand.

    Jitai, thats a really nice watch but its not the my type :-) I find a lot of the ladies watches that are out there I am not into (prefer the mens watches) but the Cartier Tank is the first one that really caught my eye so I want to purchase it.

  3. Hi Jkay,

    I would prefer to have no maintainence and change the watch battery every few years. Whatever would be the cheaper option in the long run. It's all well for me to say something that is hassle free however if I have to spend another $50+ to just fix then i'd rather pay now to get the correct movement and do the maintanence that needs to be done to ensure I only have to pay say $20 for a battery.

    I'm still not completely familiar with all the differences the movements make. As long as it keeps good time and doesnt make the the really loud annoying tick tick tick that some alarm clocks do I am happy.

    I hope this all makes sense and I dont sound like a rambling looney =)

  4. Hi all,

    Thank-you very much for your great words. It's only been a week and I'm already in the process of trying to purchase 2 watches.

    It is quite addictive. Especially as I've never been really much of a watch person but the more I get into it, the more I am enjoying learning about reps.

  5. Hi all,

    I am interested in purchasing the Cartier Tank Francaise for myself. My query is regarding the movement type. Is it better to get it in the Japanese Quartz or in a Swiss ETA (if so what type?).

    I've tried searching but most of the movement talks about guys watches and the only mention of quartz for women is in the Channel watches.

    I plan on wearing my watch everyday rather than just occasionally.

    Any advice would be great please.
