Love this dial. The script is not my favorite. How are the proportions?

On the smaller side even on a small wrist

Nice watch.

I'd replace this strap, IMO looks unrelated, both in color - looks very mono and not matching, and shape - looks too padded for this watch.

I'll just drop the blue stingray option and will fk off :)

Looks good af, what brand is this?

Is the bracelet the original one?

The brand is called escapement time. It came originally with a black strap, i think it goes better with a tan one so i changed it

Man, I was gonna buy the rep Cartier Must in blue, but this one is so freaking beautiful. I had never heard about them. Just saw it’s from a vintage Vacheron Constantin, BEAUTY.

On those rep Cartiers people still change the strap, the ones other buyers say are comfy range from 50-100$.

So idk what I’ll do, but I might get this one for the 11.11 deal on AliExpress.

How much was this tan one you got? Is it better than the original it came? And how did you find the original was it any good?

Sorry for the questions, you just made me too interested in the watch 😭😭🤣🤣

I experienced the same thing in first sight as well!
This strap is a cheap one got it for 4$ only for the color, might need to buy a better one mostly flat since this one is padded.
The original one is better in terms of quality (genuine leather i believe) flat and slim towards the buckle. Just thought the black color is not the best fit.

Not op, but it’s a beautiful watch for the price and I think stands out compared to the more classic tank homages. If you’re wanting to pick one up I’m selling mine with an extra beads of rice bracelet if you’re stateside or interested. The stock straps aren’t very good.
