New To This..... Here Is My First Watch!


Recommended Posts

Somehow I lost my post or forgot to hit the button! Either way, I was saying how much I liked Tissots and this combination of bracelet that reminds me of an omega! ...and Welcome aboard!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

PS. I won't forget the "post" button this time...I'm taking my memory pill for the day! :)

Thank you for the vitamin recommendation, I'll be taking 10 a day! :)

 

Yes, absolutely, Tissot and Omega...and I love Omegas too. What I've noticed is, that it is relatively hard to find a mechanical/auto Tissot this side of the pond and the quartz versions are quite common while the reverse is true for Omegas...at least in my area. I wonder if it is a new trend or simply the better priced quartz models are preferred to give more room to their higher end mechanical counterpart.

The store I work for used to sell Tissot and I bought this 6-8 yrs. ago. It is an auto-matic and i haven't had to service it once. Knock on wood.

I think it is the inability of the stores employees to properly romance the piece. Once you tell the client that Tissot makes parts for the majority of Swiss watches I know the client will gladly spend more on an auto then Quartz. Here, Tag and Rolex are sold too. But when you tell them that they use Tissot's parts and charge a fortune for the name the Tissot flys off the shelf. As a sales professional you have to know 110% of your product, but it only takes 3% to sell your product.

I am a salesman shifting to the repair side of the business. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Also, i went to buy some D from the vitamin shop so I won't post twice! Lol

    • Since I couldn't slow the machine down enough for my liking, I started off slowly with a higher grit.  I began (very lightly) with 1000 grit paper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTJBND1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Finished with 3000 grit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTFSMT1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Afterwards I went on to polish with traditional methods using felt & cotton wheels, with different grades of Dialux. Hope this helps.
    • Ok so there is barely any response happening . After this last attempt i think I'm just going to give up on it because very few seem genuinely interested or even bothered or worried what may happen in the future. ( if someone can set me straight I'd love to hear it ) I would think anyone into watches has heard of Roland Ranfft, how they grew to love and depend upon his site for detailed information. And not just that, he also had a view about Ebay and everyone that visited Roland's site knew exactly what he thought about Ebay, Roland's site also had a secondhand watch sale side to it.  If anyone here could have done anything to preserve his site and keep it exactly the way it was.........Would you have done something to make that happen ?  Its been pointed out to me but not in so many words  that I'm probably coming across as an insensitive p.rick, truly I'm sorry about that, i say it as it is but no malice is intended and yes clearly I'm putting my forum membership on the line here. I'll happily shut up about it now, I've done all i can.
    • Thank you so much for posting this!  Although this movement is serviceable, there are no service notes that I've been able to find.  This is a great alternative!
    • Greetings from another electronics designer & programmer!   I suggest you get a batch of similar scrap movements from ebay - I found batches of Seikos very cheaply, I got seven of one type for £11 (or 11 Euros possibly?). Those were ladies, 4206B I believe. There are also mens movements at a slightly higher price; eg. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134723051997 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235565276549 They are cheap enough so it does not matter what gets messed up or lost & you can probably still get one or two working movements from a batch, even if some part are damaged when you get them. (I've had quite a bit from the guy in Holland, he usually has a good range of movements).  
    • Please OH, we should all be proud of our collections what ever they are. If we can't show them off here then we can't show them anywhere. Our favourite gives us a story to tell of why we love it, that story also tells others something about ourselves. These are some of the things that make our forum and our community so amazing .
