    Smile Betrayer...?

    Hi guys. The word is not about a Russian, but this is my forum and I want to share with you.
    Today I receive this watch as a gift for my birthday. My lovely wife just want to cure my Russian obsession with a Swiss timepiece. She knows also my esteem to Omega's and consider it's little sister - Tissot Le Locle Automatic. It could be even counted NOS, as this exact model is discontinued and just available at some AD's on stock. The case back is so nice, that I just want to put it back to front on my wrist. The rest is also at the right level - SS 316L case, sapphire glass(es), etc. But the sound of 19800 is way much relaxing than 28800
    In comparison, I put a picture side by side with a budget Russian casual/dress watch - Zaria. Funny facts - by specification Zaria is bigger than Tissot with about 1mm, hm. What is true is the price difference - you can buy exactly 10 Zaria's like that at the price of the Le Locle (including the current discount).

    Happy birthday, sci!
    It's a beautiful watch!
    Russian watches were designed to be maintained in the field by an agricultural worker using nothing but a hammer, a sickle, and some tractor grease... (phd)

    SCI, happy birthday and happy Easter.
    Yes you are right about the comparison you made, but your new Tissot looks nice.

    You know what the good gentlemen on Lubyanka do with traitors, right? Expect a 3:00 a.m. knock on the door...

    Thank you, people. No visit during the night, but I have a secret - a double agent :)
