Nice, I've been watching a 1956 Omega myself. That, a '56 Bel Air and I'll be pulling the old Hat Trick

Nice looking pie-pan seamaster. Looks like it's in great condition.

Thanks. It was reconditioned and purchased for a 'big birthday' a while back.

I am looking for a nicer watch at the moment, i think i have decided on a seiko 6139-7040, wish i could add a pic.

Any thoughts on Tissot? Are they considered a reliable well crafted mid-range watch?

That's an older model yes? I seem to recall some controversy about a lot of fakes on those. I could be wrong, but buyer beware.

Yes, generally I would say so.

Lol.
 
Yeah, good choice.  You can probably pick one easily on "the bay".

With so many non-confusing Seiko watches, I don't why you pick the strange one?

So many new Seiko watches that are easy to tell if real or not? I would not go near that watch.

You end up spending way more to get an automatic Tissot. Many watch collectors stay away from Quartz movement because at times if they were to break the whole movement needs to be replaced. Quartz watches can be made by machines but automatics need some by hand manufacturing.

The simple truth is that Quartz movements just cost less than automatic movements in general.

Strange that this is what the watch collectors think now as in 1980 many were into Quartz watches?

Still I love my Tissot Quartz. Not expensive, works perfect and does not seem to get scratches. I find it is easy to read and is a medium size to wear.
