Short answer
A "fake Cartier Tank Must yellow V7" is a replica of the Cartier Tank Must with a yellow gold tone finish, sold under a version label the seller calls V7. The label is not a Cartier designation. No factory registers it. It marks a batch the seller claims is a later, refined build. Check the watch in hand or in photos before you trust the label.

What the genuine Tank Must is
Cartier relaunched the Tank Must in 2021 as a steel watch. Case sizes: Small at 29.5 x 22 mm, Large at 33.7 x 25.5 mm, Extra-Large at 41 x 31 mm. Movement is quartz. Crystal is sapphire. Water resistance is 30 m. The dial is silvered opaline with Roman numerals and blued steel sword hands. There is no seconds hand. The crown holds a blue spinel cabochon.

Cartier builds its solid gold Tank as the Tank Louis Cartier. A yellow Tank Must replica copies a gold tone finish, not a solid gold case. Plating wears at the lugs and caseback edges first. Ask the seller for the base metal and the plating thickness.

What the V7 label covers
Factory and version names come from the replica trade, not from a registry. A V7 stamp means the seller places the watch in a later production run. It says nothing about movement source, case finishing, or dial print. Two sellers can ship different watches under the same V7 label.

Inspection points
- Dial print: Roman numerals crisp and raised. Look for fill bleeding at VII and IX.
- Hands: sword shape, blued finish, no seconds hand. A running seconds hand is wrong for this model.
- Case: 33.7 x 25.5 mm on the Large. Measure it. Replicas often run 1 mm wide.
- Crown: blue cabochon set flush, not sitting proud of the case.
- Caseback: four screws, engraving depth, model and serial text.
- Strap: grained calfskin. Genuine straps use quick-release spring bars.
- Movement: quartz ticks once per second. A smooth sweep points to a mechanical swap.
Price and legal notes
Prices vary by seller and appear in no verifiable list. A quote far below the market range signals a lower grade build. In the US, trafficking in counterfeit goods is illegal under 18 U.S.C. 2320. Customs can seize shipments. Cartier does not service replica watches, so a failed quartz module means a full replacement.
