My first two “serious” watches were two Tissots that I purchased from a grey-market dealer who’s name rhymes with Homa-Pop. They’re great. I’m not sure I’d go grey-market again but it worked out. I think Tissot, much like Certina and Hamilton, offer a ton of bang-for-the-buck at the entry level price point of Swiss watches.

Tend to agree with the conclusion. Modern Tissot designs are nowhere compared to old Seastars and Visodates. And the best thing about them is you can pick them up for around 50 USD.
@MrBloopt5 жыл бұрын
While I love my modern visodate, the problem with modern watches are people and their misaligned concept of masculinity. People aren’t willing to buy small watches and so companies have to enlarge their watches to sizes made for Andre the giant.

I know this is VERY late but I have a Tissot Visodate Automatic Seastar PR516 with the original 'steering wheel' bracelet which I bought new in London in 1967 for the then huge sum of £27.00 . . . I was an art student but HAD to have it. I love it now as much as I loved it back then and, with servicing every 5 years (no new parts required), it still keeps nearly perfect time. Despite having several other watches, I still wear it a lot as, some 55 years on, it feels a part of me. Hope you read this, even though it's three years late!
