路Vintage Tissot? Absolutely. Modern Tissot? Hell no. Bought one for my wife and it has been a steaming pile from day one!

路My first & only Tissot with non correct second hand . And seriously considering another, as Tissot becomes the next affordable way into Vintage for now , given prices will only increase as the vintage market becomes even more costly as an entry into watch collecting .

路Yes, I like it.
One of my first goal was to gather different type of T12 round.
It has been achieved in 2017.

路You've sparked my interest. Maybe I'll start collecting those, since I love that art deco style, and don't want to spend a fortune.

路No, stay away from Tissot, it's too affordable regarding the quality 馃槈
This Sideral was for me really good surprise, found in a bad condition and after been lucky to find replacement parts, it will be one of the latest watch I would have to sell now.

路Although I'm not quite a fan, I've enjoyed wearing this chrono and I found it to have a good value for a bang.
And this art deco was my first tonneau watch and I quite liked it a lot.

路Hi there,
I'm a newbie in vintage watch collecting.
My father has this 1976 Tissot Seven Automatic (Caliber 2930). He hasn't worn it in years. Therefore, it's now mine 馃榾
Per a private watchmaker, it will need a full maintenance service, new mainspring and reversing wheel. All for $525. Umm, I didn't want to spend more than $200 on service. Is that possible?
I will most likely replace bracelet with a gator strap.
Any information, advice in servicing this watch or your recommended watchmaker is much appreciated?
Thanks in advance!
Cathy

You can always get a second opinion from another watchmaker, so you may want to look around before deciding on one to do the work. Try this search to find an AWCI (American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute) professional near you specializing in vintage watches. You may also try the NAWCC (National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors) search page.

路Hi, welcome to the forum! Heirloom watches are the best kind of watch. But, if you want to wear the watch, forum members recommend a full maintenance service. There are lots of tiny moving parts inside an automatic watch - a few of which move at 5 to 8 times a second - and these parts need to be carefully evaluated for past damage, cleaned and precisely lubricated, and then tuned and adjusted. Then you'll have a timepiece you can rely upon for many years.

Thanks so much for those two links! Will check them out 馃榾
