Just got this one today. Its a Tissot Navigator which dates from 1974, I believe. Seems to be in very good condition. The only thing I spot initially is a few dust particles which are under the crystal. Will need to take care of that. Its a smallish 36mm and I don't know what auto movement is in it but it does not have a quick change date or the hacking feature. I will need to do some more research on this thing. The strap is pretty short so I will find another for it. Running well so far, here's a few pics.

The shape of the case is excellent ! Also the black bezel, dial, and those markers are really cool. I also like the look of the hands, especially the orange second hand ! Great find, congratulations !

Good snag Mark! That case design looks to be one of the predecessors to alot of what you see in todays designs.

Thanks John, thats what I thought also. I've been wearing it all day and the 36mm does'nt seem so tiny anymore.

Man that is sweet. It does not look vintage at all!

That's a great watch...classic design will never go out of style!! Something like that I would have serviced right away, well worth the investment, will last forever. Congrats.
