Thank you Frog and Financial Manager!
Frog and Dog make good pals! Financial Manager is probably going to ask for a nice bottle of Macallan!
Tank Must
Small but unquestionably classic. Really like the black dial, but honestly the strap on this one is so stiff. Any other Must owners with a similar impression? Maybe it loosens with use, but I would have thought Cartier would have better quality straps, un...
Can you please show me some pictures? So far I'm actually fine with the black strap but my girlfriend is considering some different options for her watch (yesterday I bought her an identical large Tank Must black, see below! :-))
Any strap pics or ideas for this model will be very welcome, I'll direct her to this page later today! Cheers my friend. ...
Many thanks Captain, my first Cartier and I'm loving it! Its simplicity, charm, and elegance are simply superior :-)
My girlfriend had secretly been looking for my comments to Cartier posts on your forum before pulling the trigger, as she was afraid that I might not like it....glad she made such a terrific choice (she bought it at the Cartier boutique in Firenze, where ...
It is indeed a very versatile Cartier as you nicely demonstrate.
And thanks for the strap tip. I prefer to keep it black, so I’ll break this one in by wearing more often.
Looking good over there!
Your girlfriend has delightful tastes! And I adore the 5124G!
Many thanks again Everyone, and small update....since my girlfriend fell madly in love with MY Cartier (a.k.a. her gift! :-), what better solution than presenting her with an IDENTICAL one yesterday?? :-)) Here's a few shots of the twin couple! :-)
Cartier twins (with Boccadasse background) Hers Of course many thanks to our financial manager for conducting such a smooth and quick transaction with the Cartier boutique... And finally, our new frog that also helped with some of the shots Cheers. ...

Glad that thanks to my financial manager I got away with a $3k Cartier as opposed to a $100k Patek!😂😂😉 Seriously, very happy that my girlfriend recently got so much into watches (one Rolex, one Cartier and…three hard-to-get Pateks in one year!😂)
This way the hobby itself is even more fun!🥂❤️ Cheers.
Oh boy!
Your girlfriend is definitely very much like you! Sounds like a match made in heaven!
You're smart too!
And plus you're a handsome, charming, and fun fella! I bet you make her laugh all the time!
Just looked it up. You described the issue exactly.
I didn’t take notice then since I just got this, but Cpt provided hope of it loosening with time. I’ll give it a chance, but it was surprising. And I didn’t realize your point about the cushioning, very helpful.
Two solution to the stiff strap: leave it on a wrapped on a watch coussin when not wearing it (like the one found in a watch box) it will help the strap take its shape…
If still too still after that can’t an after marker strap with no padding in the strap. I think some else mentionned it already, the issue is the padding in the strap. For all my aftermarket straps I never put padding
Yes, the strap of my wife's Tank Louis Red is stiff and makes the watch stand higher with a gap between the wrist.
I'm sure it will be ok after a while.
The size looks great on your wrist,
and I like to see part of the strap too. A lizard strap may not be allowed in your area, but that small pattern will look good with these smaller Tank Louis Cartier's. GEO
