I wear this everyday. I like it

just another ETA SA watch movement watch. just has a different logo in the front. might as well buy a fossil....

>>7404573
Since when does fossil have ETA movements?

Fuck man, since when does fossil have design that doesn't look Like garbage?
OP the best looking tissot is the heritage visodate... But its overpriced for what it is. Get it grey market.

>>7405055
Are you actually defending tissot and their aesthetic?

That's like me defending my taste in women...I'm know i have shit taste but at least I admit it

> hnng 6'5" Betty girl walking around with tats on chest and full sleeves today

>>7405075
Any reasons in particular why Tissot is bad? Just curious.

>>7405085
They are overpriced, low quality, "entry level luxury" brands. Think of Hamilton.

Very shitty, yet widely "respected" by watch buffs.

>>7405085
What benefit do I get for convincing you not to get a trash watch?

If you want a shit watch that you'll discard in a year have fun

If you want to know which watch I suggest after years of research and thousands spent flipping watches start filling my paypal acct

>>7405090
Implying tissot is even in hamilton's league.

You can post a field khaki in a waywt and get a like or 2

If you wear a tissot you'll get laughed at

Even the 80 hour gimmick

>>7405108
You get validation from an anonymous faggot in a Japanese cartoon image board. AKA social capital, in middling amounts.

>>7404322
Tissot is Swatch's entry level prestige brand.

The movements are ETA but it's owned by Swatch, has different tiers and literally used by HUNDREDS of other Swiss watchmakers.

Swatch has recently moved to restrict outside brands using ETA because brands like Tissot, Longines etc use exclusively ETA movements and there are competition out there using the same movements but charging a lot less.

Basically Tissots are great watches as Swatch ETA movements are trustworthy no less reliable than the boutique watch makers... but it's just not as sexy as a Vacheron Tourbillon.

If you like the styling then grab one, the automatics start at 400 bucks I think? And if you sweet talk the jeweller i'm sure you can get a discount. Never ever pay retail for a watch

>>7405117
Dude, Hamiltons ARE shit. They are so overpriced for the pieces of shit that they are.

American quality my ass.

>>7405128
I want fiscal or tangible gain

Bunch of losers who can't afford the used clothes I'm getting rid of, don't want to work for their respect

I feel like /fa/ says every watch other than Patek Phillipe is entry level

>>7405117
>Implying tissot is even in hamilton's league.

they're both right there in Swatch's 'middle range' category though
they are quite literally in the same league

>>7405144

that's just Archie. ignore him, he's drunk.

>>7405138
My net worth is probably higher than yours, but frankly all boasts in this place hold no stock in the real world.

Still, you contribute way too much to be saying that. And why would you want more mediocre amounts of money anyway?

>>7405153
it's the Swatch Group, dude. you can google it.

>>7405131
>prestige watch
> $95 at Ross

Dude you pull all sorts of shit out of your ass

Fake rolexesmused eta 2824 entry level movements just because the base is the same doesn't mean everything is

That's like saying a Nissan versa is the same thing as a nismo spec xtube because Nissan owns it and they're made of steel and plastic

The nice one just has "overpriced carbon fiber, suspension, alum and titanium everywhere"

>>7405161
I feel like if I am wasting my time I might as well get rewarded for it,

>>7405170
Don't you at least get some sort of entertainment or validation from here? Wouldn't that be enough of a reward for coming to a "hobbyist" board?

>>7405144

What are some independent brands that would fall into the "high range"?

>>7405117
Tissot and Hamilton and positioned in the same league by Swatch.

the main difference is that Tissot has the Swiss heritage and Hamilton has the American pedigree.

the two brands are marketed accordingly, hamilton is much better known in the states where as in Asia and Australia it's almost unheard of compared to Tissot

>>7405165
Mate, your opinions count for shit. They always have and they always will.

i didn't even bother reading your analogy cause it was probably like your sense of style, shit.

You really have to do better to troll me. But for the sake of other people reading and believing your bullshit and misinformation I'll continue.

Tissot is an entry level prestige brand because it's priced afford-ably at the lower end of the scale but you have higher end watches in the range as well.

One of the more recent hyped Tissots is the 80 hour powermatic.

http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hands-on-with-the-tissot-powermatic-80-chronometer-live-pics

I personally think it's a great watch with that complication at that price (1000).

>>7405225
Nobody looks at a tissot as a prestige time piece

You got that shit at Ross on discount and it has the same movement and build quality of a knock off Rolex

It's generally known in the watch world as a junk brand like rado

>>7405170
>>7405200
Not gonna lie. I think I would take Mifune's opinion on watches since he has IWCs and rolexs.

Sieg has a hamilton and 40% body fat.

>>7405247
They're blatant counterfeits he admitted so

Mifune pushed "good fakes" back in 2010

>>7405178
I'll presume by independent you mean not wholly owned by a large group like Swatch or Richemont.

Not that many i'm afraid.

I can think of a few of the top of my head

Patek
Richard Mille
Franck Muller
Audemars Piguet
Rolex

>>7405271

Yup that's what I meant thanks

>>7405268

0/10

1. I wasn't even on /fa/ in 2010
2. I would never advocate fakes of anything.
3. Talking more shit doesn't help your case.

>>7405279
Now it has to be said it doesn't mean those watch brands are better or worse.

JLC, Vacheron and IWC are all owned by richemont and you can't argue that they're not amongst the top end of town.

>>7404322
back on point, it's a nice watch OP

i found it for 450, is that how much you can get it for?

Does it have a flyback function? Couldn't see it listed on Tissot's website

>>7405288
Shit... Seig just got straight ethered! That nigga ain't got shit to say! #rekt

>>7405330
he serves his purpose, just not in watch threads

>>7405288
>I wasn't even on /fa/ in 2010
not so sure about that. I remember you posting a face pic in a post your face thread on /fa/ years ago. I remembered it because you were so ugly.

>>7405370
Well I guess it must be true.

>>7405370
Two laws of mifune

1. I've never posted my face
2. I will never advocate buying fakes

Tissot sells more prc200 quartz chronographs than anything else.

They haveone MAYBE two or three automatic models worth getting.

Pretty sure Hamilton sells more jazz masters and thin o matics than anything else.


Is there overlap between Hamilton and tissots target market? Yeah. Are they exactly the same? No.

Is an ETA movement fine for ordinary wankers like us? Yeah.

Now everybody stop trying to measure each others dicks.

>>7405288
> implying I can't recognize your pics you and I have been arguing for years.

Hamilton watches are listed after not just in America

Tudors are listed after

People are fine with seiko as entry level

Tissot....there is zero interest world wide

Oris is better overall

Tissot high end...$1000 Hamilton high end $4500

Oris and Hamilton are marketed as mid range in the eta lineup

Swatch tissot and a few others as entry market
Marketed to the teenage market with the msrp- clerance model

Oh how confinement you teenagers love them

>ITT

>>7405271
All these are solid except Franck Muller. Fuck that guy and fuck his company.

>>7405479
>Hamilton watches are listed after not just in America
>Tudors are listed after

listed after what?
and listed how? alphabetically? dewy-decimal? MSRP?

>>7405479
What pics? You've actually gone full autistic retard. Is that how you remember pics and arguments from 3 years ago? Because you're actually autistic?

Ill entertain you for a bit. I purchased my IWC June this year so how the fuck did you see pics of it in 2010.

Just fuckin stop you retard. Your opinions are at least entertaining but you're too autistic with watches. You know fuck all about the upper end of the market.

Seriously, what the fuck are the expectations of you guys?

---- IF YOU ARE RICH JUST STOP READING THIS ----

Someone earlier on this thread categorized Patek Philippe in "high" tier even it's the dead end of watches.

People arguing about quality things in this board is just ridicilous. Let's face it - 99% of this board is low income students/minimum vage sandwich artists with really limited budget. You aren't saville row business sharks who gets everything tailored and bespoke.

You'd just get literally laughed/grined at a high end watch store with your juvenile face, wearing your common projects, acne jeans and rick leather.

"What is he trying to prove?"

You can just get that 400dollar Tissot and be pretty sure that's the nicest watch within the people you hang with. Anything above that will be just showing off and you'll get probably robbed or mocked at. Just get things you can afford and you'll be fine. Never have a nicer watch than your dad if he has better income and cares about things like that.

You'll have different taste in a year or two anyway so it'd be waste to spend much on stuff with low income.

I'm not hating on anything or anyone, just trying to make a point.

>>7406036
Who the fuck are these new trips?

>>Someone earlier on this thread categorized Patek Philippe in "high" tier even it's the dead end of watches.

you must be new, that's classic watch thread trolling.

Sieg is just talking shit like he usually does and just making crap up.

Your point whilst good has already been made by me and denim dan.

And like i said, I need to correct the bullshit that Sieg spews in >>7405479

The three highest brands in Swatch's marque are Omega, Longines and Tissot. All 3 brands sell millions of watches each year. Apparently CK branded watches also sell a shit load.

Tissot produced and sold roughly 3 million watches in the last 12 months

>>Tissot....there is zero interest world wide

Hamiltons barely broke 100,000.

TL;DR Don't trust Sieg Heil (since a lot of people use that trip) on anything.

lol none of those are flagships idiot

you're saying

>toyota's consumer flagship models include scion and toyota industrial

>Tissot produced and sold roughly 3 million watches in the last 12 months

mass market, zero enthusiast interest like i said

>Hamiltons barely broke 100,000.
you know how many pagani zonda's get sold in relation to toyota camry's yearly?

flag ship and upper end models don't pull in millions of low dollar sales figures, this isn't the dollar store

>>7406526
... haha what the hell are you actually saying here? Admitting you know fuck all about watches?

Good because the whole flagship comment is a bullshit attempt to change the topic.

Just shut up and stop telling people their choices are shit when all you have is a single low tier piece of shit that the parent company won't even market outside of its point of origin cause no one likes it.

>>lol none of those are flagships idiot
>>Calling Omega a none flagship brand...
>>You are just a parody of your diabetic self now.

Omega isn't the highest watch line in Swatch's arsenal but it is Flagship for Swatch since it's the biggest earner. Even though Longines and tissot outsale in pure numbers, Omega makes more money than both of those two combined due to higher prices watches.

Omega is actually giving Rolex a run for their money.

I'm done. The proof is those articles.

>>7405479
>>Tissot....there is zero interest world wide
gets ethered suddenly becomes
>>7406531
>>mass market, zero enthusiast interest like i said

bhahahaha you are so pathetic.

>>comparing Hamiltons to Pagani
>>actually wants to believe Hamilton is flagship or even remotely upper end
ahahahahha oh wow... you went full retard again

oh god. Thanks so much for the laughs dude :)

>>7406548
and for the record, I like Hamiltons. But Sieg trying to compare them to a Pagani is just hilarious.

They're a Buick at best.

>>7406544
by your logic, these are swatches flagship model, their sales figures are better than their blancpain range.

they only sell a handful of blancpains wht pieces of shit!!!!!

millions of people want these!!!! flagship

such a bargain too, their flagship retails at a staggering $49.99

while that piece of shit blancpain (by your standards) will set you back $25,000

>>7406550
omega and hamilton are priced at the same range

you're argument is tissot is a higher end brand than hamilton which is not the case:

hamilton's most famous model

http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Jazzmaster-Automatic-Chronograph-H32646555/dp/B001F7OMY2
jeweler pricein of the "tissot" you claimed to be high end

http://www.jared.com/en/jaredstore/tissot-mens-watch-carson-automatic-t0854071105100?cm_mmc=360i-_-MerchantCenter-_-PLA-_-Ad&utm_source=pla&gclid=COS9ie_lqrsCFa10QgodJX0AIA

>$675

the brand you likened as swatch groups flagship model's most famous model

http://www.jared.com/en/jaredstore/tissot-mens-watch-carson-automatic-t0854071105100?cm_mmc=360i-_-MerchantCenter-_-PLA-_-Ad&utm_source=pla&gclid=COS9ie_lqrsCFa10QgodJX0AIA

is 10% of the price as their real flagship brand listing, entry level of the high tier from swatch group

http://www.tourneau.com/shop/brand/blancpain

^only legit place that sells legit high end watches online

>>7406551
Literally the opposite of what I said.

You're an idiot

go read the articles. Omega is the flagship in the same logic (not my logic) as other watch makers do. Like Cartier is Richemonts flagship even though then have VC and JLC because Cartier sales total eclipses them.

Omega also outsells plain jane Swatches in dollar terms.


>>you're argument is tissot is a higher end brand than hamilton which is not the case:
>>7405200
>>Tissot and Hamilton and positioned in the same league by Swatch

You're a retard. Just go read the articles. I'm bored of you

You've literally repeated nothing I actually said and just making shit up as per usual.

>>going online to buy Blancpain
>>being that pleb

>>7406653
Christ, I never speak to anyone like this

>>you're an idiot
>>you're a retard

So I will take those back, cause even you don't deserve to be spoken to like that.

Just imagine I didn't write those insults.

But the other points still stand... since you haven't done ANYTHING but prove me right and dig yourself deeper

>>7406653
>links with price points
>tells me to read articles
>doesn't know my very well known on /fa/ WUS user/trade name
>review of vintage watches everywhere on WUS

>opposite of what you said
no, the entire time you were defending tissot

you name dropped omega as their most prestigious, flagship model. not true in the slightest, it's their mid-market name recognition lineup.

tissot is not a recognized brand as a "to cop"
the only reason you want one is because the low pricepoint, most of their shit is quartz crap

>>7406676
There you go again talking shit and making up crap again.

>>you name dropped omega as their most prestigious, flagship model

No i didn't you clown. Did you actually read any of those articles? Seriously? Did you?

I said Omega is the flagship the same way that Cartier is by sales numbers even though Richemont has VC and JLC in the same way Swatch have Blancpain and Breguet. Where did I say Omega was the "most prestigious"?

The only things you have done in this thread is make up shit about what I said and change your story after you got ethered.

You have no idea what you're talking about with watches.

craps on with

>links with price points
>tells me to read articles
>doesn't know my very well known on /fa/ WUS user/trade name
>review of vintage watches everywhere on WUS

All of that is completely relevant and even if true utterly negated by your complete lack of understanding shown i this thread. I'm glad we have fuuka because this is just embarrassing. I hope people on WUS sees this and accordingly laughs at you.

>>tissot is not a recognized brand as a "to cop"
>>the only reason you want one is because the low pricepoint

No one was ever arguing Tissot was "to cop"

You were just being a stuck up cunt about how shit Tissot apparently. And I said the whole attraction of Tissot was the low price point and the fact that they're actually fine watches for what they are... so you've just repeated what I said as correct.

You act like a watch snob yet have never actually owned a watch from a prestige brand.

>>hur durr have you seen my mechanil hamilton I picked up second hand?

You're pathetic. Not retarded cause that's an insult to the mentally impaired. Just straight up stupid.

TL ; DR

>>Don't take advice from Sieg. Especially not watch advice.

>>7406713
>>All of that is completely irrelevant*

>>7406713
>>All of that is completely relevant and even if true utterly negated by your complete lack of understanding shown i this thread. I'm glad we have fuuka because this is just embarrassing. I hope people on WUS sees this and accordingly laughs at you.

that should read completely iirelevant*

This thread is too full of cringeworthy autism.
I just wanted to know if pic related is worth picking up. And no, I don't try to impress anonymous neckbeards on an online animu imageboard, i just want a nice watch.

>>7406805
No

>only water resistant to 3 bar
>automatic movement

If you want a mechanically sound watch, get a circular quartz watch with a sapphire crystal glass.

>>7404322
Even a low end Invicta would be better.

>>7406805
In that price range you've got a lot of stiff competition but it's a fine piece.

Don't worry about the 3 bar resistance. That just means you shouldn't take it swimming, washing hands and rain won't do it damage... besides if you're swimming with a watch that has a leather strap you really shouldn't be buying watches

>>7409034
so why do invicta get so much hate?

>>7409094
Because /fa/ likes to hate. They look really flashy and most of /fa/ is into minimalistic shit.

>>7405165
your an idiot, brands like patek don't advertise, just word of mouth

>>7409617

wow siege heil must have a backhoe because he is really good at moving goalposts

>>7409617
He is an idiot but Patek advertises a lot. Just check a vanity fair or another up market magazine.

I read through the thread. I think I'm just going to filter sieg heil.

>>7404322
looking at getting a note and possibly the next iteration of the gear(if there is one)
