Cartier Premast Tank LM Hand-wound with box
The "Tank Louis," which has been historically and continues to be popular, was released to the general public as the Must de Cartier Tank. Early Must de Cartier Tanks that lack the "Must de" inscription, which are rare, are called Pre-Must de Cartier Tanks. This particular model was made for the American market. The difference between the Tank Louis and the Pre-Must de Cartier Tank lies in the materials and the dial inscription, but when placed side-by-side, they look remarkably similar, which makes me understand why production was discontinued. Whether as an entry-level watch or a casual, offbeat timepiece, I think it's quite interesting. With the Tank Louis currently soaring in price, this is a highly recommended item. Regarding its condition, it hasn't been polished much, so there are scratches, but I believe the overall condition is good. If you look closely at the case back and case, you'll inevitably find scratches, but I've intentionally left them as they are to preserve the original feel and plating. The hands, crystal, and dial are all clean, and for a Pre-Must de Cartier Tank, I believe it's in excellent condition. In particular, the dial has almost no cracks and is a beautiful white, making it quite rare. It comes with the rare original guarantee and box. Although the product details are not described, these are rare accessories. The photos of the watch being worn are for illustrative purposes. 《Product Details》 Brand: Cartier Product Name: Pre-Must de Cartier Tank LM Manual-Winding Material: GP Movement: Manual-winding Buckle: Original GP Color: Gold Case Diameter: Approx. 23 x 30 mm Wrist Size: Up to approx. 17.5 cm Accessories: Our warranty, Cartier original box, Cartier papers
