[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!
I wear this exact watch daily. For me, if I'm going through the expense of a nice watch, I want mechanical. For mere time keeping, any cheap electronics will do the job. This is one of those items where it's definitely for me to enjoy. As opposed to showing off. No one will really notice the watch except another watch enthusiast, much less the fact that it's mechanical.
