Hi Guys,

I am actually buying a watch for my wedding and Tissot is one in my shortlist. I searched in this forum and found no specific Tissot thread. So I guess, creating a thread specifically for Tissot would be a good idea too to discuss about current and upcoming models, your collection, places to buy, etc.

I am eyeing on this model:


It is currently leading other watches in my shortlist. Brand, design and price are within my expectation. If I go and pick this model, it would be my very 1st Tissot watch in my collection. It's just matter of time for me to make a purchase. From my survey, all shops offering 15% discount from the recommanded selling price. It would be great if you guys let me know the shop offerig >15% for Tissot. .

For those who already own Tissot watches, please share your review, opinion, rating, etc of your watches. It might be a good reading too for all of us here.

Thanks.

I know alot of people , who buys a SEIKO and use it for the next 10 years .

Tissot is different , you don't buy a Tissot and use it for the next 10 years .
Its the "enter the game" kinda watch .
After a few months of owning Tissot , you will start to look at Omega , Tags & Ball .
Then you move on to Rolex , PAM ..
Then you move on to VC , AP , PP .

So yeah , Tissot is the "first poison" kinda watch Don't say i didn't warn you !

Hurm...

Thanks for the warn... LOL! ..

honestly, I am not really clear the message you are trying to deliver. I dont really get why Tissot as a starter bbefore jump into Omega, Rolex, etc. My opinion, if I have EXTRA money to spend on watches, I dont really look at Omega, Rolex, etc. It's simply because I dont really like their design. Sorry, no offend to the owner of those brands.

How do you guys rate that the watches are worth every penny you spend on them? I dont really get it. For me, design comes first as well as budget. Brand is just a bonus. .

nice couturier! can PM me also...

I have always wanted a T-touch ever since it first came out and now its already in its fourth generation (IIANM)

But I've have heard that the 1st, 2nd generations were problematic...

Of course you would love to have all the gizmos but whats the use if it does last rite? any long term T-touch users here? has it lasted?

try WATATIME at subang parade.. i bought several watches from them before and they give >15% discounts (if ur srs in purchasing at that time)
Bsieds that, wat Gapnap says its true at least in my case. i started liking watch around 5~6 years ago and my first was a tissot costing around RM600 plus and after a year of using it i started looking at other brands. Currently i have several brands in my collection.. If u hv a budget of around RM2000, i would suggest u to go for seiko, longines.

Why u recommend seiko instead of tissot? Tissot not so durable?

Both watches hv their pros and cons in my opinion... It really depends on which seiko and tissot model u are talking about.. I personally recommend seiko because i find their designs better than tissot for the same price.. Just a piece of advice, all seiko models hv no resale value accept for the grand seiko..

I think SEIKO Marine Master PROFESSIONAL 300M/600M/1000M Diver (Automatic) are great watch to have, there are many collectors around the world and certainly have re-sale value..

hmmm I heard that the Tissot T-touchs are only 30m Water Resist....is this true?

@fariq_azad, you got pm.

It's probably true, most Tissot T-touch rated at 30m.

Tissot Sea Touch can go 200m.

IMHO, TISSOTs are not worth the price tag.

the max is 15% discount with receipt..... 18% i get which is without receipt...

are you talking about tag heuer? I got the same too ..

mine is tissot... properly tissot and TAG same distributor?? doing promotion now?

Go for tissot visodate or le locle.

Both automatics, retailing less than RM1800 before discount. They use to give up to 25%, but only 15% starting year 2012.

Good luck hunting.

Wah 18% without receipt, then u better make sure you dont lose the warranty card with their chop

For Tissot watch i like the T logo on the seconds hand lol..

Like Visodate as well!

tissot make nice affordable swiss watch, here mine

here's my classic dream..im hoping to get a visodate soon.

Attached thumbnail(s)

I've got that although my steel bracelet design is a little different.. cheers

I wore T-touch for 4 years ever since it was released until it was stolen last year.

Best watch ever. I've scraped and banged the watch so many times that it actually failed once but was covered under warranty.

Now i'm wearing Ball.

So have you bought your Tissot?

not yet bro .. still thinking as I have about a month before my wedding...

the score now is 51-49 to Tag. LOL. I just dont know which to choose.

After so long choosing, i have made decision to pick tissot.. :-)..

Is it automatic? How much?

Nice, drop us some wrist pics once you get your watch!

Sure i will but not too soon as my watch is in my fiancee hand.., it's for our wedding at the end of april.. :-)..

here's my couturier...loving it everyday...only thing that I kinda regreted was the 39mm face is a tad bit small for my wrist...makes a good dress watch..



I somehow agree to gapnap after getting my first tissot..I never went back to check out any other tissot..not that I don't like them but the purchase was made base on general perception of it's swiss made..and it's the more affordable ones comparing to other swiss brand...in a higher "class" kononnyer lah hehe...I'm VERY new to watches and I've just started to do more reading on watches after I got my first watch..the criteria of my next watch have changed from then...mainly for the reason of knowing that there are other better options out there with similar price range...or could be cheaper! it's always nicer to have a combination of dress/sports/casual watch with different make rather than the same make for all..just my 2 cents..heh...

I'd still buy a tissot but maybe not my 2nd or 3rd lol...

P.S: but I notice seiko fans love to collect them...its never ending...which is why I'm getting a seiko for my next...

I'd been looking for seiko for many days, hard to get nice design from seiko, they put too much details and too complicated.

Join the seiko club!

Tissot T-Touch really give me alot of headache.

It too fragiler to used daily.

Brought it at Year 2007. RM3500. 2008 Go Swimming and it dies. Claim Warranty...1 on 1 exchange from Swiss Watch (Wisma Goldhill) waiting 3 month.

2009 The Main button on middle which press it to go touch screen mode Jam. repair it cost me RM480.

2010 ...Same Problem....it jam again.......Same Price of repair RM480.

2011 .... it jam again...Wisma Goldhill teachnician fade up...call swiss for 1 on 1 exchange for free to me.

2012 until today so far so good.

I brought another Tissot PR50 watch for daily used. Recently I also brought another Casio Watch from Japan for daily used also.

PR50 is titanium body?
my dad got the PR50 as well. I myself got the PR100. But somehow i prefer the titanium body of the PR50.

Generally t-touch 30m WR only...cannot use for swimming lar..

My PR50 was stainless steel only. No Automatic.

Time all in Roman wording

Own a Tissot Couturier GMT to suit my extensive travelling lifestyle. Its a quartz and nothing to shout about.

off topic sekejap but to answer Naka7a...I just did! lol...

the PR50 has a really small dial and is my first watch.. Been using that for 4 years till i decided to get a new 1

Guys, where can I change the battery at a cheap price? Always got extra charged for those little thing by going into some random watch shop. Prefer not to DIY myself too btw

how cheap ur looking to get?? how much more expensive can it be?? probably a few bucks more

I have totally no idea. I got charged around RM40-50 everytime.

Tissot cannot change battery in normal Watch shop....they won't open it for you. Must go Wisma goldhill. If you DIY your self... when Watch Rosak....warranty void.


Tissot watch when it Rosak...if the repair beyond the technician skill.....50% they will give u a new watch (same model) for free. even is no more warranty.

So don't take the chances of DIY [[change your own battery]]

Hi guys, where is the watch shop will give best deal of Tissot watch? planning to get 1, max discount only can get 15% of it, thx in advance ....

u should be able to get a min of 20% discount for tissot watches.. i alw do

Mind to share where you can get 20%?

the first place i can think of is the watch shop at summit USJ, the 1 next to giant.. 2nd, is watchshoppe at sunday pyramid, third is wattatime at subang parade.. I use to purchase watches at these locations

I was a price police when looking for my watch weeks ago and I did go to watchsoppe at sunway pyramid but max discount is 15% ... .. I did go most of the watch shop in sunway pyramid, mid valley, as well as other places too but none of them giving me beyond 15% ... not even a sign for extra discount even I showed high interest to get it at their shop .. some showed me letter from tissot saying the max discount is 15% ..

at the end, I got my tissot at Tissot in mid valley with 15% off the original price .. ..

Ya, they said the Tissot watch price now control very tight till they onli able to give max 15% from the original price. I asked few shops & their answers are the same.....sien

oh i see, maybe i bought mine years ago..

Guys.. is it Tissot really fragile? This is my gf watch. She dropped it once and see what happened..

how high did u drop it from?? thats really really fragile..

i dont know. maybe at her height i think. less than 170cm. the glass pop-out and some of the dials bengkok. haiyooo...

Swiss watch are elegant....not build like G-Shock.

Sure is Fragile.

Try drop a Longinus Watch....it also same result.

longinus?? or longines?

Maybe Japanese watches are better..

Seiko 5 is suppose to be shock resistant, probably can survive the drop..

Well Im sure Swiss made/Japanese diver watches are better built, diving is actually a rough activity..

yea now all Tissot has price control capped at 15% only.
U will be lucky if you find someone offering higher discount. So for early purchaser, they are considered lucky enough.

I dropped and accidentally kicked my old 94' Seiko 5 solid caseback many times on solid concrete / tile floor unintentionally without breaking the crystal and the watch working fine. The decorative pieces including the Seiko logo, the day date frame on the dial, hour markings did fall out on several occasions. Sometimes it will get stuck between the minute and hour hands jamming it up. I just manually adjust the hands to get it free again before sending it to a watch repairer to reattach it back using glue. Cost? RM10.00 per visit.

After a big one, it did have some affect on the movement pendulum (rotor) or main spring. When you shake the watch, there was a springy feel when the rotor was spinning. Nevertheless, it kept on working perfectly till it was stolen. I'm not sure about the current models though, since they are all now using exhibition caseback since 2002.

What's stopping the dealers from giving more than 15%? Giving 23% to a regular customer who pays in cash quietly shouldn't be a problem right? How exactly will Tissot find out?

The shop has to submit selling resit to tissot perhaps? I dont know but i did survey for tag heuer which controlled at 15% too. There was a shop offer me 18% discount but on resit, they will show 15%...

Maybe shop has to submit resit to manufacturer or perhaps as a precoution if customer reports to manufacturer that the shop givibg more than allowed amount...

i was at a watch shop in ikano. can't rmb the name. nex to cros?

they still have 20% off last month.. can go try ur luck there

PK Time in midvalley selling Tissot watches...should be genuine right?

If u already at midvalley, why dont u go to tissot official shop located at ground floor - in front of tag heuer.... :-)... The are offering 15% off too... Unless pk time offer u better deal.. :-)...

Not better deal. Just that the model i'm looking for only found it in PK Time. Tissot official shop said no stock and dunno when will get stock.. So I just want to make sure if its safe to buy from PK Time or not

guys,

any idea on how much is a PRC 200 Chronograph (leather strap) and the men's Couturier Chronograph (also leather) cost in Malaysia? Cheers

Guys, any decent automatic chronograph to recommend for this brand?

Define decent.

#1 Tissot PRC 200 series Automatic Chronograph
#2 Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Chronograph

Both using the same movement ETA calibre C01.211 with 6 hours chronograph function.

Thanks. Let me have a look on them. By the way, any idea of the price tag for both recommendations?

For the former, the RRP is RM2650. Retailers' Standard discount is 10%
Not sure for the latter though.

I went to see Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Chronograph today. It's too big for my wrist - 48mm diameter and thick of 17.28mm. It also relatively heavy at 232g. The shop retail price tag is RM 3700. Guess it may not suit me.

Try to look for:
Tissot T-Sport PRC 200 (AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH C01.211) #T014.427.16.031.00
IMO, it's the best looking Tissot watch that you have to personally appreciate.

There are Tissot T-Race Chronograph models to consider too.
For example:
Tissot T-RACE (AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH C01.211) #T048.427.27.057.00

I also did survey for PRC 200 series. I'm more attracted to T014.427.11.051.00 instead.

I prefer stainless steel strap/bracelet.

Last Saturday I bought new Tissot and also my first Watch Altho it's cheap...but I like it look classic

How cheap will that be?

around 700++ buy I bought 2 watches other 1 is other brand..so that seller give me 25% discount for tissot! only left 1

Is that a display unit or what? 25% off is a fantastic deal.

What is this model?

that is display unit...that display unit cant wear just for review only with plastic...actually it's 20% off...but i bought 2 watches so that seller give me another 5% discount on it

Mind to share the shop details?

I don't mind share at Sunway shop name Moment of City Chain. Near haagen dazs. As I know the discount ended 15/04/12

U got a good deal at 25% off.. I got mine at 15% after so much effort i did to get more than 15% but couldnt get one..

I think because of last 1...and all watch almost 20% discount... I first sight love that tissot

Buying a watch is almost equivalent to fall in love at first sight. Before asking Catnip, I was attracted to either:

#1 Tissot PRC 200 series Automatic Chronograph
#2 Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Chronograph

48mm is not that big
232g is not that heavy
17.28mm is not that thick

it's a diver's watch : )

give it another try...

+1 for Seastar 1000 Black Dial bracelet + blue
I would go for Seastar anyday ~

Guys, which one is better?

1. PRC 200 (AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH C01.211) T014.427.11.051.00
2. PRS 516 AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH VALJOUX (2010)T044.614.21.051.00

Hey guys, I'm selling a watch and this is my post.

forum.lowyat.net/topic/2308286

although is not any great watch, but just trying my luck here to get this watch a new owner. thanks =)

Going by the movement calibre in the watch, #2.
ETA Valjoux7750.
Many chronograph watches are using this movement. The only difference is the brand, the design and the price.

I'm not aware of any watches using the C01.211 calibre apart from Swatch and Tissot. So if you want a unique movement from Tissot at a more affordable cost go for #1.

This post has been edited by Catnip: Apr 21 2012, 10:32 PM

C01 is based on a Lemania movement, not that unique but it does have a history.

Just get whichever one that appeals to you more

I keep reading in reviews that it is based on the Lemania 5100 movement. Really? The only thing that I can find in common with both is the use of plastics. It's all marketing gimmick.

The Lemania 5100 has more features than the crippled C01.211 with better specs.

ETA V7750 vs Lemania 5100 Dial

Now, compare that to a PRC 200 Auto Chronograph dial.....

Ermm I guess that's why they gave it a new name instead of calling it a 5100

How about this model compared to PRC200?

TISSOT COUTURIER (AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH C01.211)

PRC 200 or Couturier? It depends on which design you like the best. Internally, both are using the same movement.

May I know is it cheaper to get Tissot watch here or Singapore?

Cheapest in Malaysia will be a 15% off from the displayed price tag. You may get higher discount if you opt for cash payment and/or no receipt.

Another 2 Automatic Chronograph for your consideration : )

- LE LOCLE T41.1.387.51 (7750)
- T-NAVIGATOR T062.427.11.057.00 (C01.211)

Any idea where can I get high discount in Klang Valley?

Is there any price increase soon for Tissot?

Just a heads up...

There's a Tissot PR 100 T049.410.16.053.01 for sale in Cash Converters Sunway...looks pretty decent, didn't ask to view it in detail..selling for RM339 I'd say a pretty good catch if you are thinking of getting a quartz dress watch to begin with...

hi, went to tissot midvalley and looked for couturier. asked for discount and the seller said, he can give 10percent discount only.

Do u guys know which other retail shop can provide good discount ? thanks
