I´ve bought this Cartier Tank from eBay for $680 - let´s see if I can restore it and get a Cartier watch for less than $1,000.
This Cartier Tank is powered by the Cartier 120 Caliber (based on the ETA 2000-1). With 19,4mm in diameter, this is one of the tiniest movements I´ve serviced so far.
This watch is in a really bad condition. The case is badly worn, the glass is broken, the dial is dirty and the movement doesn´t work at all.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

  • My absolute favorite watch. When my father died it was the only thing of his that I actually wanted because he had gotten it during the war and wore it for 40 + years, but it mysteriously "disappeared" at the hospital where he was at the end, and it was literally the only thing I wanted, everything else went to my sister. I have looked at tanks since then but they are just simply too expensive for me. Watching you rebuild this was incredibly satisfying and beautiful and it brought back many beautiful memories of my father. Thank you

  • As a fellow watchmaker who spent his fair time restoring watches like this I must say outstanding job! My only criticism would be that you went a bit heavy on the case, working with sandpaper fixed to a plain piece of wood like you did with the crown probably would have allowed you to keep more of the shape and make it less „round“ but otherwise like I said, outstanding job!

You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video. I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video. Thanks again for making such a great video! I look forward to watching more of your content in the future. PS: I outsourced this feedback to AI.
