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

    • Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!
    • As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us. 
    • Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that. 
    • Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?
    • A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
