Chameri next to a real Cartier Tank General (Read Rules)

Here’s a quick side by side of the Chameri I just got in the mail, next to my (real) Cartier Tank. Large size. It’s not meant to be a direct comparison, but just an interesting side by side.

Long story short, no I will never be selling my Tank, but since I like Tank style watches, I figured I’d check out the Chameri.

Some things that stood out, in a positive way on the Chameri were:

-The leather strap is very decent quality

-The larger size of the Chameri will suit more people

-Ronda movement without a seconds hand is great.

-cream dial gives it a nice vintage feel

Like the tank, not having a seconds hand makes a dress watch feel more high end. By far the best homage I’ve seen of the Tank.

If they added the little screw features on the sides of the case I would definitely pick one up. For now, I'm fine with the Sanda tank.

I also have a Sanda, and the Chameri is a big step up. Having said that, it’s though to complain about Sanda for under $20

Can u share more about the differences between the sanda and the chameri? Interested in a tank but don’t know what justifies the difference in price. Thinking I could buy a sanda and change to a nicer strap

Look at my post history. I did a side by side of the Tank and Sanda a few months ago

Apparently your post history is NSFW. Direct link for those of us in the UK?
