Hi, I recently picked up a Cartier tank at a local antique shop and I don't know if its real. The watch appears to be from the 1960's however the movement is Jules Jurgensen 17 jewels. It fits perfectly in the case but I don't know if Jules Jurgensen ever made movements for Cartier or if this is a replacement/ fake.

Any input is helpful, thanks!

If you don't post pictures of the watch and movement I doubt anyone will be able to help you to any degree.

Cartier used movements from various watch movement manufacturers up until about 2005 but, as srgray stated, without a photo of the watch dial, case back and the movement inside there wont be much else we can help with.

They made movements and also whole watches for Cartier, but no solid info. So might be an original correct watch?

Gee whiz,,,if only they made cameras inexpensive enough so that the average person could afford one!

Update: sorry about the lack of pictures. I'm now 99% sure its fake lol no signatures on the dial.

Given the condition of the 'gold coloured' plating on the case I'm inclined to agree that its likely a fake but to be honest i cant read the writing or serial # of the movement. Also, is there any sort of markings below the balance wheel ? Any markings on the inside of the case back ?
