Small Cartier TF rep?

[kes_]

Hi everyone, I am in the process of buying my first Panerai - a PAM 127, which is pretty exciting.

I started looking for a watch for my wife and didn't see too many Cartier Tank Francaise's out there. Is there an "ultimate" edition rep of that available? It is a massively popular watch, comes in quartz so the movement isn't all that important, but I would like one where the details were spot-on.

Thanks!

There is no super-rep of the Tank Francaise that is currently made. The currently available rep isn't bad at all, but isn't perfect. (It's weird, I know. The Tank is such a popular, classic watch and the case is such a simple one, a super rep would be a piece of cake.)

If you're looking for a Cartier for women, I would suggest the mid-sized Santos. It's 33mm square, so it's a nice ladies' size, and it's a very, good rep.

If that's too big for her or she'd prefer quartz, then the ladies size Ballon Bleu is also very accurate.

There's no decent Tank Francaise replica, all of cases I've seen lack the elegant curves of the genuine watch, and even the best have issues with the location of the date window. I would recommend the Ballon Bleu for a good women's sized replica that isn't too masculine looking (like the Santos).

It's a pity as the Cartier Tank Francaise would make an excellent 1:1 rep

i've had an 20 year old cartier that i didn't know it was rep,i took to a famous watch store and they had problems to discover if it was fake or gen,so they had to open it..

 

And so i sold it for a friend as a daily watch,i regret it a lot,even being a fake,but those 300 dollars were cool money for me at the time,i wish i could re-buy it,would do agreat pair with my 36mm datejust....
