1948 Vintage Tissot: 6424-1F -> thoughts pls

Hi everyone, 2 days ago, I bought my first vintage watch: a golden Tissot from 1948.

The seller got it from a bulk purchase of vintage watches. i know that the Watch needs some care, like cleaning and oil the movement.

Ive been searching in google, for 40s tissot with the same dial, and I can’t find it.. I found similar ones, but not the same.. as well as the hour hand does not seem to belong to this watch..

I’m not sure if I’m getting crazy by double checking everything, instead of just enjoying the watch..

can someone share your thoughts as tissot experts.. Did I do a good purchase? Is it a frankanwatch? Do you see anything strange or weird with it ?

Many thanks

I agree with JwR and Gatorcpa. There is something to be said for an old piece that has been used and abused but still ticking. If you take it to an independent watchmaker who has lots of old parts and movements, they may have an old gold-plated leaf hand that fits. In the meantime, enjoy. I really like the gold leaf numerals on the dial.

Found this Tissot from 1948 was sold at Ranfft
bid-fun, you see a different hand no problem enjoy the watch as it is a service will be needed
though !

Thank you all for your replies.

@JwRosenthal I think I will follow your advise, and fix what I can now and if I can find that “missing” hand I will invest on it

@gatorcpa, yes it will be my first project: so far I spent 46 euros on the watch. Now: I need to find a watchmaker for cleaning and oil (hopefully nothing else is needed to have the watch at 100%), then a 15mm strap, and later/meanwhile fix the missing hand. I’m not planning on selling it, however I’m just not sure how much it will cost me all of this VS how much the watch is worth.. ??? I guess it’s the “ride” the fun part.. 😀

@amcclell def. will follow your advise , I will try to find a watchmaker with NOS parts. I was looking at EBAY and another similar Spanish webpages, and I couldn't find any tissot hands.

@DaveK thanks for sharing the link - I will have a look. I don’t have a watchmaker, I was trying to find one through google. I live in Spain, in Toledo city.

@Vitezi very nice thread, no idea Of the variety of vintage Tissots - thanks for sharing
