The only Tissot I own - a 1930s cushion case example with a sector dial and blued hands.

Hello, I need a bit of help with this Tissot I bought from ebay. It looks to be in generally excellent condition. It came with a GF bracelet in good condition, which I hope is original.

My main issue is with the crowns. The bottom, movement crown, is an obvious disaster, but I don't know what to change it to. Is the bezel crown with the cross hatch original? would it have had two of these? Or would it have had two Tissot crowns, or one of each.
Also, where would I buy a new bracelet (online), & is this one likely to be original?

I really like these tissots you are showing. Quite stunning. There is a couple in my area a guy selling a nice one for 250 with boxes and papers but it’s quartz. It’s a chronograph as well but I’m trying to stick to automatics and mechanicals like most of you here. I’ll keep looking around. I really need to pace myself but it’s very difficult when you guys post these great pics

I love Tissot, always feel like I’m stealing them for the prices they fetch-like I’m in on some secret.
My newest-500th year anniversary for Brasil.
Valjoux 7765 manual wind movement- I need to find more with this movement!

Here is my PR 518 which is currently in service:

It is running well but the power reserve is too low (<24h). The caseback is special (fotos can be added later) and requires two different seals (there is a smaller inner case in the case). I am not sure if there are any spares out there and Tissot gave back the feedback that the watch is not repairable. So I am still hoping and waiting for the watchmakers response).

Many thanks. I cant believe how nice this watch is and what great shape its in. Its certainly holding up better than i am.

Also doubt that the GF bracelet has ever been off the watch.

Still hypnotised by the little details - the brushing of the silver dial, the sun burst of the blue half, etc

Nice Tissots!

Has the T12 in the top right corner had its dial replaced with a PR 516 one?




Regards

Nice collection. Wouldn’t mind seeing close-ups of the three dress watches on the bottom row

Hi there,

Recently acquired a Tissot Navigator ref 45501 in black (Lemania 1341 movement) and I have a question. On the dial of my watch it says Automatic Navigator but I also see lots of pictures where the same reference has Navigator first, followed by Automatic on the dial. Anyone knows when Tissot made the switch or if there are original and service dials out there? Hope you guys can help me!

Hi, never notice this but you are right.

In 1976/1977 catalog it was Navigator above Automatic and mine from 1976 has this configuration.
In an advertising from around 1975, it was Automatic above Navigator.

So not a service dial.

From when is yours ? have you the serial number of the movement otherwise ?
