I would also lean towards the TF between the two, but either way you can't be wrong -- I'm certain you'll love their class and presence! ;-)

I also noticed a pretty remarkable increase in awareness and interest in Cartier among our members (myself included! ;-) It's hardly a coincidence that this started around the time we added a highly competent moderator to this section... I think Cartier should cut a check (or at least send a watch for free) to our Captain for the great job he's doing! ;-))
PS: Below is my Tank Must black next to the Gondolo 5124 if it helps (though the TF might be a tad smaller? ;-)
Good luck with your choice and please report back with a wristshot of the winner!
Cheers.

And I’d get a nice alligator strap + deployment buckle to compliment the case. Cartiers are made for straps imho )

I decided I was going to buy the new Tank Francaise the minute I saw the first pics of it. I bought the Large model when I'd originally intended on getting the mid size. 15 years ago I had a mid size & it looked fine on my wrist then. Now 15kg heavier it ...
