ABOUT THIS WATCH:
MANUFACTURER: Cartier
MODEL: Tank Louis
REFERENCE: 78086
SERIAL: 78086xxxx
YEAR: Circa 1980s
DIAL: The original, lacquered, white enamel dial is in good shape. The lacquer appears to be have some very faint cracking or "spidering" in the very top of the upper right quadrant near the one and two o'clock hour markers. That imperfection in my opinion is the only one noticeable from normal viewing distances when wearing the watch. All other spotting is observable under high magnification photos; however, not noticeable to me during normal wear.
