Tissot T-Lord T059.527.11.058.00

My first Automatic chronograph #Watchstr. I had no intent on purchasing a new watch but I had to investigate this bargain. Long story short this watch is vintage at this point, but technically new old stock. The watch is Automatic movement but is packaged in a box that has quartz tags so they charged quartz price πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ After thorough research I came to the conclusion that this couldn't be a quartz watch, and also it would feature the Valjoux 7753 movement according to research. It's certainly a automatic Chronograph 😍

nice mate, I wear a seiko5 automatic daily beater.

Seiko Arnie has become my daily beater.

very nice piece πŸ‘Œ

Whats the term for watches with the slicing seconds hand and not a regular tik tak hand?

Automatic or Mechanical?

Its the term different depending if its mechanic or automatic?

Some what. It's a sweeping seconds hand. Most people refer to sweeping seconds as automatic. Technically a mechanical watch can be both. Also there are a few quartz movements that produce a sweeping seconds hand.

Dang, you snagged a valjoux at quartz prices?! I’m hella jealous! Wear in good health 😊.

Worst case I would have wasted a few hundred bucks. I considered a quick flip, But since it's the only chronograph in my collection I will hang on to it for a while

That’s such a good find though! I’d keep it for sure!
