Discontinued Must de Cartier Tank Unisex Vintage Watch Flying Arabia LM Size Pure Silver with 18K Vermeil

Hello.

This is Seno from Belle Montre.

Today we are pleased to inform you that new products have arrived.

I will explain the appeal of this watch and why I purchased it.

This item is a discontinued "Must de Cartier Tank" unisex vintage watch, Flying Arabia, LM size, 18K plated pure silver😊

This is a watch from the extremely popular Must Tank series, and this time it is in the LM size.

When you hear LM, you might think of something large, but in reality it is about the same size as normal today or a little smaller.

This is because it was made in the 1980s (this model was produced at the end of the 1990s), and at that time watches for both men and women were not as large as they are today.

For this reason, smaller watches are more suitable for slender Japanese women than watches that are too large, and they make a nice accent on the wrist.

Of course, it is the perfect size to suit men as well, exuding elegance and sophistication.

This Must de Cartier Tank was also worn by designer Yves Saint Laurent and was loved by artists as well.

It has a simple rectangular design, but because it is simple and never gets boring, it is a model that is sought after by people all over the world, no matter how much time passes.

This model has a unique index called "flying Arabic", where only the 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 numbers are in bold Arabic numerals, while the rest are in bars.

This model with flying Arabic indexes is fairly widely available on the market in ladies' SM sizes, but the LM size is basically almost never available.

The index also appears three-dimensional and looks different depending on the amount of light and the angle, giving it a different feel from regular printed indexes.

Of particular note is the intricate WC decoration at the base of the dial.

The Mast Tank was originally created as an inexpensive model for the time, but the intricate decoration on the dial of this model makes it a cost-effective model that is not possible today.

Nowadays, Cartier has become a famous watch brand, but at the time, it was still more of a jewelry brand, and this watch shows the spirit of Cartier proving that they could make high-quality watches, even in their inexpensive line.

However, this watch is made of better materials than modern watches.

Nowadays, if you want to keep the price down, you can go for stainless steel, if you want a high-quality material there's 18K, and there are other options like titanium, but these two are the most common.

However, it is well known that the material used for mast tanks is pure silver, which is a high-quality material, although not as luxurious as 18K gold.

Looking back, despite being made from high quality materials, this was sold as a cheaper line, so I still think the Mast Tank is a great product.

The reason I purchased this watch is because it is rare.

I love the Mast Tank because it's a watch with good cost performance to begin with, and I know a lot of different models, but my impression of this Tobi Arabia is that only two or three are produced per year.

Not only was the production quantity limited to begin with, but it's a model that's not even available on the market, so I wanted to get my hands on it somehow.

I think this is true for anyone who sells watches, but personal feelings often have a big influence.

There are some things that I wish I could buy for that price, and others that I absolutely have to buy!

We also purchase watches with this in mind.

This Tobi Arabia watch is one that I purchased because I absolutely had to buy it.

The condition was also very good, and when I looked at it as a whole, I got the impression that it had been well cared for. That feeling only strengthened.

That's the mindset I have when I buy watches, so I buy them with the intention of selling them in the first place, but as long as they're in the store and people can look at them until they're sold, that's fine.

It's very stylish and doesn't feel at all old, even though it was made 20 years ago, and it has a sophisticated design that is typical of Cartier.

This Cartier Tank has an attractive index that is popular with both men and women.

This is a must-have item for anyone looking for a vintage Cartier watch.

The photo of the man wearing it is of me wearing it, with an arm circumference of about 16.5 cm.

As for accessories, this comes with a special box.

The price is 620,000 yen including tax.
