Someone offered me this watch as a trade for a seiko i have for sale. My seiko is listed at ~150usd. Initially im thinking the old tissot is quite a nice piece, but i cant really tell if its a good deal or not since there is no mvmt pic's. Only thing i know is its running "good".

Whats your thoughts?

 

These are nice watches, and attractive as well. That one appears to be in good condition, though I would want to see case back and movement photos. If everything looked good, I would hesitate to make that trade.

 

Tissot's PR516 line is underrated and thus well-priced. That particular sample, however, seems to have an incorrect bezel. The crown might not be correct, either, but we would need to see it from the side.

PR516 cases always, to my knowledge, have a bezel that stands proud at the 12 and 6 positions like this (random internet photo):

 

The crown does warrant a closer look. The bezel, though, is a type that I believe I have seen before. Here's another example:

 

I belive that the most common problem whit this watch is the fragil bezel and i think this is original. In Sweden every second watch have problem whit bezel moore or less
