V9 Cartier Tank original comparative review

Dimension comparison: V9 dismantled and molded the original and matched the original dimensions exactly: length 40.5 mm, width 31 mm, thickness 7.8 mm. This model is the largest size in the Cartier Tank series; The 40-millimeter case diameter suits the wrists of the majority of men.

Appearance comparison: Same case line, same CNC machining quality, same thickness and size. Without opening the movement (there are no exposed spots on the closed caseback), even a professional could mistake it for the original.

Detail comparison: I have collected the details under a few items: ➀ Same cream white sandblasted dial surface as the original; not the pale white of small factories. ➁ Blue annealed steel hour and minute hands; Additionally, the needle surface is polished, its tips are soft, and its texture is impressive. ➂ The text of the hour markers is evenly filled with paint and free of burrs; thickness, size and location are identical to the original. ➃ The stone on the crown is the same blue spinel as the original; clear and transparent, not the plastic or poor quality zircon of small factories. ➄ Even invisible parts such as the case back cover and the ears are meticulously processed; The only purpose is to be indistinguishable from the original. ➅ Every part, from the case to the buckle screw, is compatible with the original.

Comparison of hour and minute hands: The color of the blue steel hands matches exactly. Kiln-dried blue steel hands are now a long-solved issue for replica factories; Therefore, the needle keeps the color accurately whether in the light or in the dark. V9 Factory The only missing point in this hand color comparison is the hand center axis, but it is not a major flaw; You need to enlarge and compare to see the difference, it does not affect daily use at all.

Crown comparison: Full marks must be given to the workmanship of the crown. Sapphire stone is sparkling, color-matched and transparent; The edges of the crown are processed smoothly, really carefully.

Movement comparison: The original uses its own production 1847 automatic mechanical movement, while the V9 uses the imported original Citizen.9015 automatic mechanical movement. The structure of the movement is slightly different from the original, but fortunately this is a closed case back model; Unless you open the cover, it cannot be distinguished from the original just by looking at its appearance. Moreover, the 9015 movement has proven itself; It has been receiving positive feedback in the market for years, its daily error is under 10 seconds, and it is both stable and durable.

Buckle comparison: Classic Cartier folding buckle, the surface is polished processed, the laser engraving on the inside of the buckle is clear; The details have been processed with great care.

Finally, every watch is QCed with a handheld eyepiece; Thus, there is no obvious defect on the dial surface and mechanism. On the working side, data is first measured with an imported adjustment device, then a day's use is simulated with a three-dimensional simulator; After the error is kept at normal values, it is packaged and shipped.

Summary: The watch has a dignified, corporate atmosphere; It fully reflects the stance of men with a gentlemanly attitude. If Ballon Bleu is too flashy and light, Tank looks more profound and restrained. Names such as Andy Lau, Deng Chao, Jin Dong and Lu Yi have worn this model or been its face. The watch has two options: leather strap and steel bracelet; The leather strap is more emotional, the steel bracelet adds a harsher atmosphere. V9 Factory work means the best; A truly no-frills factory that cares about the buyer's pocket and makes as few upgrades as possible, or produces the best product with the fewest upgrades.
