Cartier Tank MC too dainty?

kpe0007,
I know you like big watches but the Tank MC is not that "dainty".
I could not see the chronograph version at the last two Cartier boutiques I visited (London and Paris) but the 3-hand Tank MC acted as surrogate for 'case shape assessment'.
The curve around the wrist and the luscious 'brancards' (stretcher poles) and cross pieces have more presence than face-on images show. I don't have A side view photograph to illustrate my pioint.
The chronograph should have even more 'heft' with the pushers and protectors.
You must try one in-person and let us know....especially as I'm now stuck in a horology desert (sob).
Regards,
MTF

Piece and the time only piece, both in SS. Both are awesome, thought I preferred the white dial more. And I liked the time only piece more thought I would be happy with both. Both are incredible handsome watches and in SS represent exceptional value not f...
The Tank MC is a wonderful chronograph

and I actually like the looks of the watch better than that of the 'time only' Tank MC. Everything seems more balanced to me and although I do not like date windows, in classic designed watches, it does not bother me that much here, at the 6 location. The...
