hi everyone, i need some help. i have an old Tissot watch from my grandpa but there isnt any information on It. no numbers, no model. i cant find anything similari on ggle images. Is a simple watch tho, nothing fancy, but id like to know a bit more of it.
It Is all steel i guess, elastic, it has a translucid double Xx Mark on every piece of the band. It has data and 12,9,6 numbers. nothing on the back, nothing around the watch.
Thank you all.

The band is aftermarket so it tells you nothing about the watch. The watch looks like a Seastar model from the 1960s or very early 1970s. It will have an automatic or hand wound mechanical movement, it is hard to tell from the one photo. In good condition these are valued around $200-300, but it looks like the print is worn off the dial so the value is mostly sentimental. The crystal is made of plastic and can be polished with a product like polywatch if you want to improve the appearance.

It looks like someone tried to clean the dial and removed most of the printing.
