OP turned 40 today! I was to get a Rolex for my birthday but ended up getting one 4 months before my birthday! Added another watch to my collection just for fun! Trying it on! Will wear to work tomorrow:)
I was fortunate to be part of an industry where we select few were hosted at a property at foothills overlooking Shivalik hills in Himachal! Event had top decision makers from fintech, health tech and ecomm. I was keenly observing their watches. Out of 30 people , I saw about 4-5 wearing smart watches, some wore brands like fossil, Armani and Gucci, while about 12-15 of them were wearing Tissot while I wore my Tudor GMT white Pepsi. These guys have an average salary ranging between 80L to 2 Cr. It’s interesting how Tissot has captured the corporate workforce. At my workplace I have few watch enthusiasts they mostly have Rolex, Panerai, Hublot or and others all Tissot! Every time I’m at ethos, just in time or any Multi brand store I see atleast 2 people paying at the cash counter for a Tissot watch. Why is Seiko not getting this kind of popularity in people!
Sounds repetitive but pictures don’t do justice to the dial! It really feels occult and dark… in a satanic kind of way, the dial really draws you in!
This was 4.5L when I bought it in Feb 26 and now it’s 5.10L. Also, the Zoratsu polish is quite mesmerising.
Probably the last watch I’ll buy for sometime!
I was pleasantly surprised looking at the built quality!
Watch is built like a tank and the leather quality is extremely good!
Leather is a little thick but I think it requires breaking in… it will age well as it gets softer and darker…. I don’t know if the bronze colour will have patina but if it does then it will add a lot of character to the watch. This may be one of the most economical purchases I have made but it’s definitely had me smiling.
