Hi all,

is there a dedicated tissot forum on the net like this omega one?
I have had a look without much success but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one so I’m putting over to the brains trust.

There is a dedicated brand forum on WUS: https://www.watchuseek.com/forums/tissot.62/

Yes I have seen it. I was wondering if there was a stand alone one like this forum.

We’d be open to adding one if there were enough tissot fans, nobody has asked yet though

Some Tissot love here & there on the forum:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/do-you-like-tissot-many-pics.58233/
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-tissot.63179/
https://omegaforums.net/threads/how-do-we-feel-about-the-tissot-navigator.125597/
https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-tissot-resources.88078/
(I particularly love the link in this last thread to chronomadox.com : http://chronomaddox.com/tissot/manual/tissot_technical_watches/tech_wide.html,
but you also have this : http://chronomaddox.com/tissot/catalog/T-12/t-12_catalog.html
and this : http://chronomaddox.com/tissot/manual/you_and_your_tissot/you_and_your_tissot.html)

@Vitezi @hmmmcamu @Willbur @JimJupiter and @Syrte among others have shared very nice posts and they definitely inspired me to get some of mine.
A good brand with very classic design : I've focused on Navigator, Seastar & PR516 from 60s & 70s... mainly equipped with Lemania movement. But there are great 30s, 40s & 50s watches for sure to hunt for too.

Two PR516 Seastar equipped with a Tissot movement 782-1 (The left one being the GLversion, and the right one being the diver 44.544 - a version related to Roger Moore), and the middle one is a chrono 40.528 equipped with a Lemania 873.

From right to left : Seastar 40.522-1 with a Valjoux 7734 (Tissot 2460), 2 Navigators 45.501 with Lemania 1341 (Tissot 2170), and the Navigator 45.500 with Lemania 1343 (Tissot 2160).


Also fratellowatches is a good source of info :

Always love to read & learn more so if opening a Tissot forum here in OF can bring more exchanges : I'm in 😀

It would be cool to see a Tissot subforum here - especially as the ties in the 30s were really close.

I don’t know much about Tissot but the Seastar Navigator is on my short list.

Being part of SSIH with Lemania as well it would be cool to see a sub forum for little bro. Especially since parts etc were interchangeable

Yea there was definitely a big overlap and it makes sense, I’m just curious as to how many people there are that are into tissot and I’ll look at old threads later and do a count

I am surprise I do not have as many Tissots as I would like.
The seastars on Goodwill sell for a bit more than I am willing to pay. The ebay ones come across as worn out junk.

I do have the T12 with the Lemania 863? movement. I got that decades ago as a box of loose parts. Sometime I need to take it down again and clean it all over.

Had the dial repainted in the early 1990s the results which I felt was less than satisfactory. Part of what made me look into dial making.

I have about 5 or 6 too. It would be nice for tissot to have a home here considering the connection to omega.

no dramas if people disagree.

I think that @Vitezi may have a view. I think he’s got a couple of old Tissot?
