'Tank' watches

[sparkyhx]

I have a hankering after a Tank/square watch but I can't seem to find any that I like that aren't seriously expensive. I would like a JLC squadra or GP 1945 - but don't want to spend that much given the rest of my collection.

Must be mechanical less than £500
on the dressy side (not B&R type)
not dainty (bigger than reverso)
Used is ok



Any ideas?

Nobody? - p.s. not Armani

OK. You could try Sevenfriday. Very interesting, very square, very big, very aquired taste. Not toooooo expensive.

have seen these and I suspect they are too modern going by the OP. I thought he might be going more Tank as in Cartier. I was stumped at the price range for any suggestions.

quite nice for the money but such a daft name for a watch!

Yes, doesn't really pass the 'dressy' requirement, but interesting suggestion all the same. It would be a bit of a talking point

- never come across these before.

Personally can't make my mind up with the sevenfriday to weather I do or don't like them.

Think they need to do a rubber strap option

You could probably find a classic Cartier Tank for that money

Not strictly a tank, but bloody good value, incorrect bracelet notwithstanding.
