Tissot Visodate Heritage Collection

Here's mine with a Toshi strap. Love it!

Thanks for posting this photo! I've been curious what a different strap would look like on the Visodate and I have to say it looks great. The band goes nicely with the black dial for sure. I like the original band, but the Toshi sure looks good!

I've finally gotten around to photographing my watch. I really wanted to do it on a Sunday. I really love that red SUN day/date. It's one of the details that really drew my eye to this watch. Sorry that you can see my hand at the 6 o'clock marker!

Very nice Jedge :)

Thank you Mr Fjeld! It was definitely worth the money.

Very nice photo, Joe. I still have yet to see that version in person. Maybe it's good for my wallet that I haven't.

Here's mine with a little red.

Thanks a lot Paul! That black dial version just doesn't get old. It makes me salivate every time I see it, both in your photos and at my local AD. It might be a good idea for you not to seek out the white dial, just for your financial good! lol I really would love to have both That is a distinct possibility. I really love this watch.

I have a question and figured this would be as good a place as any...does the rotor have to move all the way around 360 degrees in order to wind the watch? Or does the watch wind each time no matter how far, or in what direction, the rotor moves? For example, a 1/4 of a turn in either direction. Thanks in advance!

Hi Joe,

I'm pretty sure it's bi-directional, and that it doesn't have to go anywhere near 360 degrees, but I don't know if there's a minimum threshold as to how many degrees it has to turn to accomplish anything. I believe there's a sort of ratcheting mechanism, and it would have to move at least one tooth's worth of distance. But I'm a long way from understanding how these things work.

There are definitely people here who know, but you might have better luck in the General forum, as you'd reach a larger group than us Visodate fans.

I'll wager teeritz might know, though.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the quick reply. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I am also trying to learn some of the ins and outs of a watch movement. I'll post this in the general forum and see what comes up there. Thanks again!

I'm really liking the black dial variant. Very nice.

I received my watch back today with no problems. The jeweler from the AD I bought it from and a local AD both said there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I've never had an automatic before and I think the noob part of me over reacted. But at least it's checked out and back on my wrist.

Anyone else think the leather band on the Visodate cheap? I'm not saying I do, just curious what others think of the band. Anyone planning on replacing the band and, if so, what would you replace it with?

I am disappointed with the strap



the defect was bigger and i had to use glue, so i need suggestions for a new band for this excellent watch
