This watch has certainly lived. Damn.

[@carzakone333]

When people say PRX is a Copycat of super luxury watch brands....well, check this one before you say that

[@ethanmacalpin7076]

Superb refinishing and rehabilitation of a beautiful Tissot!

[@spankyharland9845]

factory fresh- what a beautiful face lift. Looks like my Tissot PRX quartz.

Bonjour ! Super restauration, j’adore ! Ça me donne le goût d’acheter plus d’outils pour la restauration des boîtiers ! 🤪. Le produit final est vraiment super ! ✨👌

[@LeRestauratHeure]

Merci beaucoup 😊

[@danielcalvocamacho4538]

Really like the end result! Thanks for sharing!

[@DarrenBates]

Great job! Would love to see people's faces when they see it's an original and not the reissued version. Incredibly though it makes you realise how faithful Tissot kept it. Not something they've just released to cotton onto the 70s sports watch trend.

Remarkable.... 😊

[@ccooper8785]

Given the state of the watch case was in, the bracelet was in surprisingly good condition.

Faites-le l'homme magique! 🎩⭐🌟

[@tiagodvt]

The original Seastar that inspired the PRX was a 35mm quartz piece. This surely is close, but we can easily see it is not the model that inspired the PRX. The bezel is totally different. The integration of the bracelet on the case is totally different as well. The reissue is a 1to1 of the original model, and as I said it was a 35mm quartz piece.

Супер👍

[@bigbabybon5614]

Could you please tell me what grit sandpaper you use for sanding the case and bracelet?

[@LeRestauratHeure]

400

[@bigbabybon5614]

@@LeRestauratHeure thank you

[@christophergranados717]

I have the new prx powermatic 80 but the strap was damaged and the watch fell off my wrist and stopped running, what do I do?

[@jeffreygoss8109]

What was the issue that kept it from running. Answer and I’ll subscribe. Jk, I subscribed

[@LeRestauratHeure]

Haha ! A huge hair in the geartrain 😅

[@eintrachtffm5935]

I don't think that you have restored this tissot. Just an another good in shape one! Fulgazi

[@LeRestauratHeure]

What?

[@eintrachtffm5935]

Where did you get the crown?! It’s not a real restoration. We can ask a third opinion @wristwatch_revival maybe!!!!

[@LeRestauratHeure]

@@eintrachtffm5935 you know there is a ton of spare parts for vintage Tissot online do you ? Also, I'm living 50km away from Le Locle, the city of Tissot's HQ in switerzland. Parts are easy to find when you know where to look. Sure go ahead, go ask to anyone who knows what they re talking about cause you obviously don't

[@user-jr3kb8qy8e]

the lighting on your work room is dim

[@LeRestauratHeure]

👍

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

your sound doesn't work.

[@chasehuggins6157]

It’s dishonest to call this the original model. The PRX is modeled after a Seastar Quartz model and not this one.

[@LeRestauratHeure]

Maybe I should rename the video : Restoring the almost original model that inspired the prx automatic version of the new tissot prx ?" 🤦

[@chasehuggins6157]

It’s still a great looking watch.

[@A_Noid]

Dishonest is a bit much…
