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!

    Agree, the Gentleman is good watch from a good brand. I think Teddy (I can’t spell his last name) did a video on just this watch a few days ago.

    I think it’s nicer than the PRX. For the Rolex anyways, you can’t just go to a store and buy one…gotta go on a waitlist. The Tissot though, just walk in and buy!

    If you are okay to not have the AD experience (not sure how it is at Tissot), you can buy the same watch at like Jomashop, or chrono24 for half the price.
