    Looks really goo, but it's about 2mm too wide and €800 too expensive.

    Nearly 2 grand for a Tissot?

    Yeah, it looks 50mm+ because of that guy's small wrist.

    I would consider it a cushion case. I think it might be loosely based on a vintage Tissot piece, but can't say for sure. It is not in the Heritage line and seems to be available in only a few markets. I do not know, but suspect the T-Lord line is upper echelon for Tissot.

    Maybe OK, I'll rephrase: Those pictures don't excite me enough to want part with £1300.

    You should see the price of some of their pocket watches...

    Good looking watch, but I wouldn't call that affordable compared to many of the other Tissot chronographs I've seen. They have several at $1000 or under, I believe. I know I found a great deal on one for under $400 (it was a stupid good deal - one of a kind). I'm talking auto chronographs, too, not quartz.

    I'm not sure I like the horizontal lines on the dial. The watch already had a lot going on and the horizontal lines seem too much.

    Like the dial and the strap. They go well together.

    Wish is was not such a big case size though.

    I'm not much for dial texture--my hate for wave dials, for example, is well documented--but I do think it works here.

    Hardly affordable! This Longines for example (one tier up on the Swatch cake) is £1200RRP but sells for £1k (1400eur).
