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, especially the Gentleman, brings a lot of features of the higher end brands like a high quality automatic movement, great dial, sapphire crystal, very good build quality.

    The Gentleman was my first (and is still my only) watch and I wear it everyday. I still cannot convince myself (and my wife) to spend 10x the amount on a Omega or Grand Seiko I desire, when I should rather be saving on a house/ new car/ stuff for my kid or spend time on holidays.
