    SOLD here is this charming Tissot bumper that I found the other week at a local dealer in stamps and coins. Now when I have had my fun with it, i.e renovate it (with the help of my watchmaker of course), I was thinking maybe someone here would want to give it a new home.

    Case measuring 35 mm excluding the crown, is in great condition. Unpolished, shows normal wearmarks. Dial is very good too, normal ageing that can be expected on such an old watch. Movement in very good condition too. Was overhauled (NB not by Archer standard) by my watchmaker, and runs good and keeps good time. The hammer bumps distinct, and I wouldn´t say that it is more worn than the average specimen of this age. I think that the Tissot cal 31-1 is equivalent to Omega 30.10. Someone please correct me if I´m wrong here.

    I´m asking a 300 USD shipped, registered mail and fully insured with the Swedish post. I and the watch are located within the EU. PayPal is fine.

    Too bad you couldn't get the words "quartz" and "speedmaster" in there...:)

    Definitely art deco, and I will not invoke the "C word" in vain-- but it's most definitely a lovely watch.
    Congrats to buyer and seller.
