Broke what are your feelings on TISSOT? Particularly TISSOT T-CLASSIC TRADITION MENS WATCH T0636101605200?


It's a regular watch with a standard ETA quartz movement. The workhorse movement of the watch world. There isn't anything fancy about it and it's not really my cup of tea but I like mine around 44mm and 16mm thick so I'm the exact opposite of you. But if you like it, get it.

I'm not a Rolex guy but I don't hate them. They make quality watches. And the submariner line in particular hold their value pretty well.

I was coming back to this thread to talk to you into getting one, but looks like Broke convinced you.

When I bought mine a few weeks ago, only the new style pilot was available for 219. But a couple days later the ororiginal pilot showed back in stock at 199.

Note the difference in the faces. I wish mine had the triangle at the 12 position, but besides that I like the face on the new pilot better than the original

Don't forget to tell everyone it's a Rolex. Otherwise, what's the point?

I bet you posted in the average penis size thread too about how you were above average. Are you one of those people who measures from 2 inches past their butthole to 4 inches past the tip?

Had never thought about this before, but will use this measurement method from here on out.

Thanks

Nope, I wear rolexes, remember, I don't have to measure my pecker. But, good luck and good numbers to you.

Some have appropriated, especially the older 5512's and 5513's. Sea Dwellers have gone up considerably. 30 yr's ago a Date Just was $700 and you would be hard pressed to find a used one in decent shape for less than a grand.

My ragged out 5512 that loses 5 minutes a day, is on a $7 nylon strap, and with the acrylic so scratched it's hard to read will still bring more than it sold for new.

$700 in 1985 = $1561 in 2015

I buy $10-20 dollar digital watches from Wal-Mart. I'm pretty rough on them, I've broken the face and buttons off pouring concrete collars and other stuff. Looking at the clock gets me through very long days and keeps me on track.
