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.

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/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).

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?
