What can you guys tell me about this Tissot?

Case: 43 mm wide
14 mm Thick
Bracelet: 20 mm Wide x 8.5 in. Long
Swiss automatic movement
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
Water resistant to 100 meters/330 feet

Saw it Tourneau about a year ago and though it is a chrono it is pretty impressive, the pushers don't protrude out as much as you might think...

Apparently the seller is wrong - its a quartz. Not a good deal for a quartz.

can tell you those are some ugly pushers!

It's funky and caught my eye. But for $600+- that's way too much for a quartz with its specs IMHO.

maybe they make on with an automatic, 600 bones for a tissot is in auto price range!

Yeah, I know. Checked 3 ADs and all list it as Quartz. No variant in Auto listed anywhere

that have it for less...

I'm with Trev on this one. Those pushers are butt ugly! This wouldn't be one I'd spend any money on but I actually kinda like the dial. It's kinda cool.

Thanks AT but $475 is still to much for what it is and the pushers are loosing me on this one too. If it had been an Auto Chrono like first listed at $575 then maybe but I still think I would have passed.

The link at Overstock that Tom gave you actually does list the watch as being an automatic movement Doc.

Not 100% sure Duff..but I think that is a quartz ! They just
might be making a mistake with it !..The same model is $396
at Jomashop though !..Thank you sir !

Any one look at the Tissot site for the answer? Quartz.

Thanks Tim !..Basically there are three quartz versions of the watch.
Overstock evidently made a mistake !

Sure, Tom. Happy to help.
Not to sound like a smartass, but it was kinda fun watching this thread for a couple of days. Lots of links, it just seemed like the manufacturers site shoud reveal the definitive answer.

I like Tissot and they offer a lot of value but that one is a little pricey and the pushers are, well, creative.

porschefan, love that sig pic.

Thanks, wish I'd taken it, I was there, just didn't get one that good. But, I did have to search the net to find a good one, though.
