    It looks ok to me.
    The movement looks like it's from a pocket watch though I expect the experts will shoot me down.
    I don't know any details on model type or reference. I suspect it's mid 1920's. What are the dimensions ?

    Caliber 26.5, not a pocket watch movement.

    This one dates to ca 1940, reading the serial number as 93xxxx.

    Yes, these are popular with collectors. Yours has an original art-deco style dial which adds to the appeal.

    The only issue is the size - it is a small watch... at 32 or 33 mm if I recall correctly - most people don´t value small watches nowadays... which is a pity IMO

    Most people eat too much junk food and make 32/33mm look like a tourniquet (myself included). I envy Kyle's slim wrists, guys like him get to have badass watches in those sizes at a steep discount just by being lanky.

    me too - got some nice watches at a bargain (even Patek)... I always buy "against the trend". It was the same with metal color - I bought rose gold watches at a large discount when all the guys bought steel watches at insane prices :D

    I think you buy what you enjoy - as they say what makes your "blood boil." Going against the trend may work for or against you as in some cases, the trend just keeps getting stronger with time - i.e. vintage speedmasters.

    Very nice watch and not small :)

    What size of wrists do You have people? :D

    I have 18cm wrists, this Tissot is 30mm without crown.
    Does it look bad? :)

    Not at all. These Tissot Antimagnetiques came in all sizes. Mine is about 38mm diameter and very thin.

    Looks like a saucer plate on the wrist.
