I daily an Apple Watch but have been increasingly interested in getting a nice dress watch.

My dream watch is the Rolex Datejust with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel, but I don’t have 12-14k to cough up for one.

Looking at some of the other brands, even a few grand on a luxury watch is a bit much for me for anything similar (Tudor, seiko, omega etc. I never knew those brands were in the thousands).

I found this Tissot and I think it’s gorgeous, but I don’t know too much about the brand. This watch is the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Automatic, which runs $825. The Quartz model is half the price, $425, so I’m curious what the major difference is to demand double for the automatic.

Thank you!

    tissot is good value, its basically swiss seiko. the auto version has a very good movement, its an upgraded powermatic 80.811 with silicon hair spring and no plastic escapement. i think you should be able to find it for <$700 though

      Yes, I think you can find them on line for about $550. They are a great entry level watch. Probably the cheapest watch you can get with an anti magnetic silicon hairspring, like Omega and Rolex use.
