They just need some wrist time, keeping the lubricant in the movement from gumming up.

There are two numbers on the two boxes but I am not sure what they are 7205 on the Tank Normale and 7206 on the Tank LC Extra Plat. By the way, the Tank LC was retailed at $1,450.

This one is in poor shape, it was quite cheap. Retailed by Turler but it’s pretty much gone from the dial. The minute track disappeared, copper dial is full of spots, one of the teardrop lugs was reattached. It looks much better in real life though. I love your black dial one.

In fact I believe it is the lowest cost among all the watches posted so far. A proof that fun can be had below a big brand crocodile strap. I am actually enjoying this watch as much as the 3970EP as I don’t have to be careful with my wrist movement. And the two are on the opposite side of the price

All torn up.
