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. :o 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 ;D

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?
-
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 ;)
:Cheers:

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... ???
