    So, around 6 months ago or so, I purchased a Tissot Visodate from Alex in Mexico City. As an aside: I received the watch exactly 27 hours after winning a regular auction; I'm still trying to figure out how that happened ! Lolzzzz).

    It wasn't a very expensive watch but I felt the dial was in almost perfect collector / vintage condition. Also, she runs like a top (minus 6 seconds p/day). I got the watch pretty cheap so I don't mind spending a few bucks on it.

    I believe that the crystal is original which is a big + + to me.

    Before I put you to sleep - does anyone know how the case for this watch was originally finished? I'd like to make an honest effort to make the watch as original looking as possible. I also have the original GF bracelet but this watch is huge and it gets into some serious heavy metal territory with the original rig...
