AF Factory Tank WGTA0059 Replica Watch Review

In Cartier’s tank series, this watch is a little different. It’s not the usual white-dial Roman numeral model, nor is it the ubiquitous steel case with blue hands. It is the dial is red, case is gold, and the scale is feminine, so it is quite distinct. Before you go out and buy a watch like this one, remember that it’s not a watch that can go with almost everything. And it’s not even the kind of watch that would be considered a relatively safe and responsible choice. It is a tank for those who value aesthetics and sophistication. So more replica watch of the model will probably have accidents. Is the AF factory version real or just pretending? Let’s cut the chase.

Is it alright as for the whole picture?

The proportions are good and the lines are right. The key to the Tank is never its complicated design, but mainly the proportions of the rectangular replica watch case, the roundness at the edges, and the transition between the lugs and the case. AF factory is not too strict, the corners are not stretched into square boxes. Overall the lines are soft which gives it a kind of understated Cartier feeling. At 33.7*25.5mm, this women’s watch is slim, though it won’t seem tiny on the wrist, there’s a more retro and artistic feel to it. AF factory did a fine job with this, using a deep, semi-matt burgundy without going for brash red or the purplish, fake red. It looks solid all around the vintage vibe also matches up well with the golden case. It shows some varying light and it doesn’t have a glaring reflectively which is important. Of course, I’m sure the original authentic product will have better depth and layering than it does, especially under direct brightness. The authentic red has more thickness, the AF factory’s red seems slightly flat. But at normal wearing distance it is not much evident.

What about details and craftsmanship?

AF factory’s replica watch gold case is of good quality, with a very accurate color – it’s neither yellowish nor bluish – and an overall warm and smooth appearance. But its metal gloss is somewhat different from the real thing, the reflection at the edge of the box is rather monotonous. But if you have a tank watch on, it’s not actually that different. Tanks are basically design watches, so as long as the size and color are okay, nobody would really pay attention to that metal texture. AF factory’s dial is a little more complicated than a regular Tank, with a red ring on the outside and a pale inner bezel and Roman numerals, giving it a layered look. The printing of the Roman numerals is good; the numeric values are clear, with a decent size, neither too big, nor blurry. Inner bezel lines are also neat and even, AF factory maintains a consistent quality in this area too. If you’re particularly picky, you’d find some minute differences under a magnifying glass, which falls within the normal range for replicas and isn’t about craftsmanship.

Is it a cartier kind of feel?

The crown is a big signature in Cartier. AF Factory Tank WGTA0059 Replica Watch’s sapphire crystal is darker, well-cut, and looks nice and clean without any plasticky or purplish appearance. The article is not as polished as the original article even if the level of refinement is low, it gives off a sense of elegance. The AF factory’s high-end private movement stably retains time, which can be used with peace of mind and does not need to be adjusted, as it is a standard feature of a Tank. The thickness is as light and comfortable as 6.6mm on the wrist. This is not the action of showing the movement. It is an action of showing style. If you want a game with exacting controls, Tank is unlikely to be the best choice for you.

Does this watch only fit for a few times of wearing?

To be honest, this watch is not something that just anyone can wear. The red plate, golden shell and wine-red crocodile skin, these elements themselves are quite stylish and more suitable for formal and elegant occasions. If you usually wear jeans and sports shoes, wearing this watch might seem a bit out of place. But if you wear a skirt, a shirt, a suit, or prefer a retro style, then this watch can add a lot of points for you. However, the shortcomings of this watch are also obvious. It’s not the kind that can be matched with any kind of clothes. It has quite high requirements for dressing. Although the golden shell is good, it still can’t compare with the genuine product as delicate. The red plate has a slightly weaker sense of layering under strong light. The size and design of the AF factory version are quite in place, but it’s just not easy to match. Only those who understand Cartier’s history and positioning, like retro and artistic temperament, don’t seek to show off, and only care about a sense of design can handle it. If you are looking for a Cartier that will never go wrong no matter how you wear it, it is safer to choose a white dial Tank or a steel case Tank.
