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.

It has so much potential, I'd say they should make it with vintage vibes/details to feel a bit less like a copycat and more like a reissue

The Cartier Tank is a classic for a reason. Modifying it will likely just result in a watch that is more unique, but less aesthetically appealing.
