Not that I'm a Kennedy fan (far from it), but I believe that Jackie gave JFK a Cartier tank as a wedding gift. A Cartier tank is truly a classic piece.

Thanks for the replies, This is a 10... And this would be a 9... Where do you think these two would be? (Do you think that this Cartier would look good with a nice pair of blue jeans, and a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up?)

Give me (3) examples or more of being too dressy?

Here's the link to the video. The banana part is about 2/3 through....

Cartier builds a fantastic watch. And agreeing with some members here, it is definitely more of a dress/jewelery oriented brand. I love my Roadster and often wear it on the leather band.

Finish is wonderful. Movements (depending on watch), not as good. I have a tank francaise for the lady. Looks great, but it isn't anywhere near the rolex movement. It was just serviced as well so it is as good as it is going to get.

I'll admit the movement is not that impressive. I have a brand new Ballon Bleu that is off nearly +10s a day and hardly can hold a charge for 24 hours. However the aesthetics of the watch are amazing and I get nothing but compliments and gawking when I wear it out. It is my dress watch where as the new PAM 312 I have coming will probably end up being my daily wearer. I may be sending my Ballon Bleu back for servicing as I'm really...
