Looking to go out of my comfort zone for the next piece and debating between the Reverso and Cartier Tank. I know JLC has more of a watch makers history but Cartier has really grown on me over the last few years as a brand as I’ve learned about their vintage pieces. Any thoughts on the pros and cons or preferences? Also eager to hear from others who went through a similar decision making process.

Can’t go wrong with either. Go try them on and see which sings to you. My wife loved a Reverso and thought she was going to buy it until she tried on a Santos and it spoke to her. She still wants a Reverso but we ended up buying the Santos on that day

From a wearability perspective, Reverso is thicker, feels more substantial, and can get away with a larger size since the lugs curve down; there are many different models and variations to choose from. Whereas with the Tank, it’s thin and flat, so unless you have a very large wrist, the mechanical XL version is way too big; the Large (quartz) is the best size in my opinion but some may say it’s too small. I’ve come very close to buying both but never pulled the trigger. The new Tank Must in black (to be released this fall) has me interested again, though. The Santos Dumont is also worth a look.

Thanks for pointing these things out. Will def need to go try them on

Cartier has grown on me a lot but the reverso has so much history. I think the Cartier is definitely flashier so it all depends on the preference! Do you know the history behind the reverso and why it was made?

I’m sure there is more to it than what I’ve read but yes, historically used by polo players. Totally useless mechanism these days, but I’m digging the look. I also think some of the vintage Cartier pieces like the 1575 Santos are less flashy.

Are you sure you’ll actually get out of your comfort zone? If you end up never wearing it, it’s not worth pulling the trigger on it, so I’d recommend trying both on and make sure you know how/where you will wear it, otherwise it’s tying up funds that could be used on another watch.

That said, I prefer the look of the Reverso over the tank, but am not a rectangle watch person.

Definitely something I’m going to think through and try on multiple times. Likely a 2023 or 2024 purchase so I’ll also have the benefit of time to make sure my taste doesn’t change.

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
