Tissot Visodate Heritage Collection

Wow - Gentlemen, I think you've just found me my next watch! Thanks for that review link.

Time for me to visit my local AD and see if I can check this out in person. I rather like the old style lugs, though. But the current version still looks great.

jedge, good luck getting yours, and be sure to come back with some pics!

I can't wait for tomorrow! And pics are definitely on their way. There sure has been a change in my attitude since joining this forum--I talked to my local AD twice in person and they were supposed to call me back...never did. So with all the great suggestions in this thread and through PM's, all kinds of new options became available. Anyhow, I am very thankful to everyone here.

Hope you find the watch you are looking for Paul. Thanks for the kind words! What dial and case of the Vissodate is calling your name? I went with the silver face. I, too, like the lug style on the early version. As you mentioned, it wasn't a deal breaker by a long shot. BTW, isn't that one of the most helpful and thorough reviews you have ever read? Great stuff.

Thanks again to everyone. I hope to post on here often.

I have recently purchased the T019.430.16.031.01 Silver Face and it's such a cool retro timepiece!

However, I reckon the original design (with the lugs) do look a bit more appealing. Am thinking of getting that too but may be difficult to find. Heard that this is sought after since it has been discontinued....

It would be interesting to see how many of the earlier Visodate Heritage are out there. I can't imagine too many, as you mentioned. Mine arrived today and I can't stop looking at all the cool details. I guess this is considered a "dress watch", but it sure isn't leaving my arm unless I'm doing something like yard work!! Everyone knows what it looks like of course, but I hope to put photos up sometime this weekend.

Good luck with your search, fungus. Post if you come across that version.

Congratulations Joe Wear it in good health.
I use mine all the time and also when mowing the lawn, shoveling snow etc. And as you say, it's perfect for more formal occasions.

Hey, Joe-

Congrats on your new Visodate!

And let's add another one to this party - I picked up one today as well

Got a great AD/watchmaker in town here who had a beautiful black one. Now he doesn't have one

Ran around to three other places looking to see the silver one, but nobody had one. That made my decision easy - and I was leaning towards the black anyway, since I just bought a silver-faced watch. I suspect if I ever find a silver one though, I may end up with two.

I absolutely love it - I can't believe what a bargain this watch is. And my dealer even sweetened the price a bit.

Here are a few quick and dirty pics...

Thanks for tipping me off about this watch - and thanks, Mr Fjeld for pointing us to that great review!

Cheers!

Wow Paul, that's a beautiful watch! Congratulations, I have to say that just looking at your pictures makes me want to get one myself. It really looks very good dressed in black

Wear it in good health!

Thank you, Mr Fjeld! I appreciate the kind words.

Paul, I happened upon the same watch yesterday at an AD just outside of the town I live in. I hadn't seen the black dial in person before and was really blown away. What a beautiful watch! I am glad I bought the silver, but now I have an itchin' to get the back dial. I don't think I could choose between either variation, both of them are real lookers. It's a great feeling to search and search and then finally find what you're looking for. Awesome photos and beautiful watch.

Thanks, guys!

Had my AD had both the black and the silver, it would have been a difficult choice indeed. He did have the gold one with the silver face, and I seriously considered that as well - though I'm not often a fan of gold watches as they come off a bit dressier than I want to for my day to day wear.

On the other hand, I work with a guy who has a gold Seiko with a black face, and every time I see it, I'm drawn to it. I've seen photos of the Visodate in that configuration, and it looks amazing.

To my eyes, Tissot really hit a home run with this design. It's a wonderful synergy of modern minimalism and retro flavor. I hope they keep it in their line for a long time, as I definitely feel I'll be needing another.

Paul
