[Tissot Gentleman T1274071104100] Is Tissot a good brand to get into luxury watches with? (alien.top)

I daily an Apple Watch but have been increasingly interested in getting a nice dress watch.

My dream watch is the Rolex Datejust with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, but I don’t have 12-14k to cough up for one.

Looking at some of the other brands, even a few grand on a luxury watch is a bit much for me for anything similar (Tudor, seiko, omega etc. I never knew those brands were in the thousands).

I found this Tissot and I think it’s gorgeous, but I don’t know too much about the brand. This watch is the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Automatic, which runs $825. The Quartz model is half the price, $425, so I’m curious what the major difference is to demand double for the automatic.

Thank you!

Honestly, I think this Gentleman is the perfect starting point. Solid movement and good finishing for a good price point. My first mechanical watch is a Tissot LeLocle.

I'd actually prefer the Gentleman over the PRX, as it's design is timeless and it's much more versatile.
