Hello guys, I am posting just to get some help from you on this beautiful Tissot. I just only want to be sure if everyting on it is as original as it should.
Best regards,

Hi @edwatches74 and welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, the dial has been repainted on this example so it is no longer original. Vintage watch collectors call this a "redialled" watch. If you're a vintage watch collector or you want to learn about the hobby, you've come to the right place. Please stay for a while and read the threads about what collectors look for in a vintage watch - and what they avoid, like redials. 😒

If you're new to vintage watches and you think collecting a few might be a fun hobby to pursue, I would encourage you to read all of the information available (for free) on this forum before you buy anything. Here are a few threads to get you started:

Take some time to browse through other threads on this forum - there are many threads that analyze redialled watches from Omega and other brands. By this time you finish your eyes will be bleary but you'll have a good understanding of what to look for in a vintage watch. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. Have fun!
