Any nice Vintage Tissot out there?

[luv_mel]

My only Tissot, I know nothing about this watch. I bought it from a friend because I love the vintage divers look....like a submariner.

Nice I don't recognise the watch model, altho the case shape from the back looks familiar from the late 60's into the 70's.

Can you do a movement photo??? We'll be able to see what's ticking away in there, plus date it too

Thanks for your infos,some not so clear images may help to identify the model and year of manufactured. Movement Tissot 21 jewels serial number 5076444, inner back case 43570-15x.







Thanks....

That serial no' dates your watch to 1961 and judging by the age, I'd say the movement was a Tissot 783. If you look on one of the photos, just to the side of the serial no', you can see a '7' just poking out under the rotor....that's the mov't no'....so have a look and see if I was right?

:thanksYes I found the movement number 784 automatic with date. This watch is in excellent condition,original dial,hands,perfect body & case back and come with a NOS Tissot black leather and SS buckle. The only setback is an replacement Omega crown not Tissot crown. May I know the value of this watch if I decided to sell or trade.

Thank you for your selfless contribution and informations.

My pleasure

We can't do valuations on here (against the rules) but you could email the chap who runs this website as he's pretty knowledgeable on Tissots http://sometimeago.itsens.nl/cm_2427_home.html

If you do think of selling it, be sure to let me know

hi all. i've just recently purchased this Tissot Seastar off from our local ebay store. i'm new to collecting old watches, so any info on the watch below would be appreciated. :)

[JohnnyMonkey]

Hi and welcome.........I'd say your Seastar was from the 80's and more than likely a quartz model?!!

There 'may' be a serial no' inside on the movement, but I think Tissot stopped doing this towards the end of the 70's, so it will be harder to date it exactly.

It's not a bad model, but only has mineral glass instead of sapphire (more scratch resistant), but is a good place to start. I've got quite a few earlier Seastars which are all manual wind or automatics.....have a look thru here for the pics.....so that may be something to consider for future additions

New to me. I haven't been able to find much on this watch. But I do love the classic style and the way it wears.







And not sure if this one counts as "vintage" but its definitly a much older model from current iterations.

Hi, I havea vintage Tissot that I thought was NOS in the box, but it has an accutron band. The band is new, looks great. The watch, however, works perfectly, a wind-up. It's a Seastar.
