New Tissot for 2009

[HusH]

Hi all,

Saw the new Tissot PRC 200 auto chrono at the Tissot boutique at Lot10. Was eyeing this watch when I first read about it in the various watch forums.

Downside is the thickness at 15.84mm.  With a relatively small lug at 20mm.

RRP RM2500. This is good value for a auto chrono no less!! Also, the movement is exclusively made for Tissot by ETA.

Any opinions? Itching to pull the trigger

i think at this price.... for auto chrono... probably using eta 7750... is well worth if  u like the design...
only brand that can compete this price is hamilton....

In the wristshoot pic its actually quite good looking.

I don't think it's the 7750 though. From what I've read, it's a lower grade chrono movement specially made for Tissot.

Also, Tissot is using the 7750 for their new "Couturier" range of watches which is at a higher price range.

You have seen watches with the eta 7750 for RM2k-RM3k price range? Do tell me more.

The lowest price of a new watch using the eta 7750 (in Malaysia anyway) is Hamilton (maestro, jazzmaster) which is approx RM4k. Even the Archimede and Steinhart chrono are at least EUR800 (RM4k).

There is a simple test for 7750 family if happen to have it in ur hand. Does it wobble when u shake the watch?

[HusH]

You mean the movement wobbles? That's strange...

Anyway... the initial excitement seems to have worn off. At least now I can think about the watch carefully and not make impulsive decisions.

Nice looking Tissot...i think it maybe possible a 7750...maybe a lower grade 7750? Not sure, not an expert on this But then again, if after discount less then 2K, I will give it a go and i will prefer the white dial

Yup. Even those modified ones. Depending on the modification, the effect could be lessen by the modification.

Decided not to get the Tissot after much consideration. It has a highly polished case which I don't really like.

I will be sure to check that out the next time I see a watch with a 7750 movement.

Thanks for the recomendation on the Hamilton. Found some Internet watch shops selling it for approx. USD550 even. Very good value. Hmm... so many choices...
