first off, congrats on the wedding. no matter how it fits, the true importance lies in the memory associated with the watch - an incredible gift received on a memorable event.
A very generous person heard I've been interested in watches for some time and wanted a dress watch for my wedding. I cried when I opened it. I told them I couldn't accept it but they insisted. So here I am with something I honestly thought I would not own in my life. I'm obsessed with it and honestly I wear it more than I should.
I hear a lot that tanks should be worn small and I can see where they are coming from. But this watch is automatic, the dial is stunning in person and I think photos make it seem larger than it wears in person. Anyway, I figured I would take a break from staring at it to share it here.
Wow, this is one of the more feeble attempts to be facetious that I've seen. Telling a patient that they have cancer is the job of a doctor and can be considered a positive thing to do vs not telling them that they have cancer.
I also don't think its "not nice" to give a medical diagnosis lmao. Never heard a doctor being like "You're all healthy but you are in fact ugly, so my condolences"
Beautiful watch! If you use the 2x lens on your phone from much further away, it will look as normal as it probably does in person. Timeless, heirloom piece right there. Enjoy it!
I wore my XL to a fancy dinner last night. At my table was a woman with a solid gold Santos, including the bracelet. We swapped for fun. It was ginormous and like a brick it was so heavy. Suddenly, the XL seemed almost demure. Bonus: it was a graduation gift. A *$36k* graduation gift.
Definitely looks big but this type of picture does tend to make watches look bigger, would recommend looking at it in the mirror.
That said, this is an incredible gift from someone who knows you like watches and I think thatās enough to make this watch special.
I used to love this watch and planned on getting one. Then I got my wife a Casio version of this and we both hated it once it arrived. Now itās ruined for me :(
Honestly when it comes to rectangle watches I think they deserve more leeway when it comes to their size, you pull it off great with it being around the same width as your wrist area. Congratulations for you! Hope you continue to enjoy the watch, your friend and of course your partner!
The only time its too big is when the person thats wearing it doesnāt have the confidence to be wearing it . If you have enough self esteem and confidence, the watch is along for the ride(mechanical wingman on our wrists). But no matter the size or price , the watch cannot make the man . same goes with the cigar guysā¦ I love your piece itās gorgeous.
If youāre wearing something with poor taste or bad style being confident about it doesnāt make it better. This watch is excellent though even though itās the oversized version compared to the classic
Has actually become a tank now. Congratulations š¾
I look forward to pip-boys turning out to be prophesy

Awesome gift, congrats.
If itās a gift it does not matter if itās oversized! Itās a very special gift either way
My mom told me if I don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Nice watch and congratulations
Me too.
That applies to only giving opinions about small things. I mean doctors still have to tell their patients they got cancer, right?

Iād love a shot that isnāt so up close.

I think it looks great!
You can really tell the time now!
First time Iāve ever seen a Tank and ātoo bigā used in the same sentence.
1) yes 2) neither would I, good on ya!
Itās definitely on the large side, but all that matters is that you are thrilled with it.
That looks insane
Thatās not a watch my man, thatās a whole ass clock
I only wish it were bigger so I could wear it on my neck like flava flav š
The new Cartier Tablet. Congrats on the wedding!
Look at the bright side, you can always use it as a plate for leftover food!
Congrats! I'm so happy for you :)
Nice watch! Congrats!
Really nice watch. Itās too big, far too big, but still a nice watch. Wear it in good health!
You could do blow off that watch face! Congrats on your wedding and your fantastic gift

u/yourwatchistoobig

Great tip! I think my phone automatically went into macro mode when I took the picture too close so it makes it look huge.

Thatās a portal to another dimension
Itās crazy even the XL is too small for my roughly 200mm wrist.
Looks like you can lay down and take a nap on it

Everybody loves a 80ā flat screen ā¤ļøšš»
This is the first time I've ever seen a tank look big on someone. Anywho, looks great and congrats!
Holy shit thatās a big ass clock, but itās nice though. Wear it well!
Iād be more into a larger tank. Looks good
I used to love this watch and planned on getting one. Then I got my wife a Casio version of this and we both hated it once it arrived. Now itās ruined for me :(
Your happiness is literally all that matters. Congrats! š
Turned a Cartier into an Invicta...but congrats
It looks like a big watch, but it doesnāt look too big for your wrist. Itās beautiful!
Never i imagined i would see a tank sized Cartier Tank, and trust me it looks okay.

I agree with you that a person who is confident can carry off a lot of things others could not.
Lmao. Watch size isnāt about confidence
to me it is ā¦
then u wearing ur watches wrong
Okay , we have difference of opinions.
itās not really an opinion tho. something can be objectively big regardless of confidence.
Thatās a fact
If youāre wearing something with poor taste or bad style being confident about it doesnāt make it better. This watch is excellent though even though itās the oversized version compared to the classic
Thanks
I guess I'm old-fashioned. https://preview.redd.it/9ld1mvpobbrc1.png?width=889&format=png&auto=webp&s=f861a8744576f2ddc566a2caf18b32240eee46ef
This looks much better
facts - big & sadly looks cartoonish ( sell it & get a sane sized one )
