that is very nice
You should definitely try the watches on to see how they look and feel in person. Photos do not do them justice. From what I have heard the Santos (Santos de Cartier) in steel with ADLC model and the steel blue dial model have been tougher to obtain at ADs in recent months. Its possible that Cartier is shifting more of the supply of those watches to their boutiques (but no confirmation of that as of yet). I have not heard about their being any difficulty obtaining the chronograph Pasha or Santos. The bracelets on the Pasha and Santos are really nicely designed and have the Quickswitch system and Smart Link design so you can easily change between strap and bracelet with a button, and you can size the bracelets just be pressing a button also.
Tanks vary, the Tank Louis Cartier, which at is current size you felt is too small, is a limited production piece and its rare to find one at an AD or a Boutique. They can get them, but it does take time.
A few pix for inspiration.
My Pasha 950 chronograph...this is a vintage one shot model (limited run).
Santos de Cartier. This is a size large case. The Chronograph is slightly larger, and is an XL case.
Tank Louis Cartier XL (this size and model are out of production). However, other Tanks are available such as the Tank Americaine and the Tank Cintree.
the pics actually do quite the justice.
Pasha and Santos de Cartier definitely speak to me, more so pasha as I need a chrono in my life.
@sinnedk - previously mentioned, but I could see you getting along well with the OF:

You know I am just not feeling it. I think Bvlgari and chopard (mentioned above) are both watches that look neat but I think Cartier more for me.
