It all started with Yoo Sung-beom. The three of us, Yoo Sung-beom, Yacha and Monopispa, were having coffee and chatting. Someone, I think it was Yacha, suddenly asked, "If you had to choose one watch for the rest of your life, who would it be?" Sung-beom chose the Grand Seiko GMT, I chose an 80s Rolex, and Yacha asked us to decide for her. That's when Sung-beom said, "Yacha should go for the Cartier Tank."
He explained that it looks pretty because of its low density in design. Can you feel it when you look at the picture below? Except for Roman numerals and railroad tracks, the dial face is just a white panel. I guess it's because of that white space that the density seems low. Speaking of which, because of the low-density dial face, the Tank strap fits well with pretty exotic skins (crocodile, lizard, ostrich, etc.).
Ah, it's so pretty!

Soobaak owes a lot to Yachae (meaning vegetable in Korean, nick name for my dearest friend). She designed a Soobaak BI, made Soobaak signs, made Soobaak business cards, and even made Watermelon packing tape. So, I wanted to give her a Tank. Coolly.
After looking through all the items, I bought one for Yachae. Then, Sung-beom said he wanted one, so I tossed him the next decent one. But what do you know! It was too small for Sung-beom's wrist. It's small and pretty :( It's sexy. Well, everyone has different thoughts... So, I embraced that item. It was the No. 1 vintage Cartier Tank sold by Soobaak .
Soobaak doesn't usually buy such expensive products. No, it can't. It's because it's about half of the monthly buying budget... It's unbalanced. I made a risky purchase, and the Cartier Tank sold well. Bought one, sold one, bought another, sold another. It seemed to be an item that suited Soobaak well.
“I don’t wear a Tank to tell the time. In fact, I never wind it. I wear a Tank because it’s the watch to wear.” - Andy Warhol
I didn't scrape this photo because "It's Andy Warhol's watch, so it's awesome, right? So, just accept that it's awesome!" I want to tell you that Andy Warhol, who has an unusual sense of aesthetics, was very satisfied with the Tank.
White shirt, denim, and Tank The Royal Family can afford to beat diamonds as much as they want. They probably can. The Cartier Tank is not such an overt watch. It seems elegant and dignified. Is there no urgency?
The Tank suits Anne Hathaway better than Diana and Jackie Kennedy in the movie "The Intern."
In 2017, Kim Kardashian won a bid for $379,500 at an auction. Approximately 470 million won in Korean won.
Kennedy also enjoyed Omega.
