Pics of my new Tissot PR50 .

[97tbird]

Finally got it - not bad for $188 shipped. This is my 1st "serious" watch, and it's sort of a graduation present:

I love the look and the feel - the band may not look the best, but it's pretty ok - (I plan to upgrade to a Hirsch Golfer black soon)...

I took the following pics under incandescent light, so they're not perfect as to color - hard to capture the black dial well at times...might try to shoot some more pics in natural light soon...(camera is a Nikon P&S - macro setting is not the best in this rather lame camera..)

Forgive the many pics - I know it's not a very highly reputed Tissot model, and is rather "cheap" but I really like the look and size of it (38mm) - the perfect blend of elegance and sportiness, IMO...

Here are the pics (some of them are very similar, but shows the watch in different angles and lights-so I included even similar pics) - comments/feedback welcome.

Very simple but very classy.

Very sharp.

Are you left handed?

I have a titanium Tissot that is about 12 years old, great watch. Reliable as the sun coming up in the East every morning.

Very nice, but to many gadgets for me. I see you are another person that is in his right mind.

I love watches. I really wanted another Swiss Army watch but it was out of my price range and I bought a Swatch($250), lifetime polish + warranty. Love the watch, and will be adding a Swiss again when I have the money. My previous Swiss Army watch was passed down to me from my Uncle who had it for 10 years, and I had it for 4 after it and it met its end because I was young. Double glass casing(first layer broke because I was stupid, young). The build quality was unlike anything i've owned before or after.

I'm with you, must be an age thing (I'm 66 tomorrow !!) .... The last watch I got had the largest numbers I could get and the highest contrast face with no clutter. Easy to read.

And I paid $10 for it at W-M.

tbird, if you're happy, I'm happy for you.

Does it have a tach and an oil pressure gauge? What oil you gonna run in it?

 

[flacoman]

Nice piece, but too big for my wrist. Might have to get the Rado out now

 

[Quattro Pete]

Sweet! Congrats!

 

[CROWNVIC4LIFE]

Congrats!....That watch is awesome!

 

[97tbird]

Thanks for all the comments guys...the size is actually 37mm, not 38 mm

I am told that this watch (like many others) can take on different "characters" depending on the strap - I might be playing with something like this in the future...

here's that strap on a different Tissot...:

LOL - I had some breaks in between - not easy to take those close up macros with a point and shoot tiny Nikon L22.
I think it's pronounced "Tee-Soh"

 

[daves87rs]

That's exactly the kind of watch I am looking for-leather band, nice dials in the middle.


I had a "cheap" structure(now express) watch like that, and it lasted forever. (until someone took it).


If you don't mind, how much?

$188 shipped (Amazon direct) - looks like now it's sold by a 3rd party seller on amazon..when I ordered it was from Amazon.

Nice watch, I see it has a raised glass face which tends to get scratched but I guess your going to take it off for the "rough stuff". I've got a 8 year old St. Moritz SLK with the same glass that has taken a beating and looks it. The scars add character!

 

[97tbird]

It's not glass It's a scratch resistant genuine sapphire crystal - which is usually a feature of higher priced watches, from what i've read.
