Good morning to you there !

Staying mean and green with this one...

1957 Tissot Automatic....

Good Morning

It looks like it's Wonderful Watch Wednesday on your ends there guys !!

Gary, this Seastar really is stellar today with its' amazingly sleek style, and all around design ! It's tough to figure
what is the highlight of a watch like this. The case, and dial are terrific ! Even the way they wrote 'Tissot' is amazing !!!

And Darius, this Citizen always gets me with its' other worldly way ! You have all of these great futuristic nooks,
and crannies from the bezel, and case, to the stargate-like dial. Then you have that nice touch of blue ! It's fantastic !!!

Thanks Tom! It's so hard not to look at this all day long when I am wearing it. I think of Helen and her lover who deserved a watch like this. Christmas 1957 must have been special. I wonder what she would think of it today...still looking awesome! I just noticed some writing on the back I never saw before...it says Factory 5-70, so this watch was serviced by Tissot 52 years ago! What a cool piece of history....this is why I love vintage pieces.

My pleasure sir, and thank YOU !

Yeah, that is really something with the wonderful inscription there Gary.
So on the one hand you have the great design, style, as well as movement
to be in awe of. However, you also have the years this watch saw go by, as
well as people who have owned them. It really is history for the wrist G.

And it is phenomenal imho !

It goes right along with the saying you have at the bottom of all of your
posts Gary.
