 :thumbsup: Tissot is the entry level brand for Swatch so I presume the price/value would be good. Wld u mind PMing me the price?

If its Valjoux 7750 both my current Swiss chronos have the same engine. Its a proven and reliable workhorse.

Isnt it abit late asking for opinions after you already order it?

Hehe just teasing.

Yeah like veryone said the 7750 is proven and is used in many brands so no problem with it.

nice watch! mind to let me know how much you buy for this watch?

---------------------------------

90% of watch manufacturers don't make their own movement.
