Forged Carbon Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
An interesting (at least to some) new release by Tissot. This quote grabbed my attention:
"Given that carbon fiber is hardly an intrinsically valuable material,

producing a carbon fiber watch without charging a precious metal
premium."

Haha. It’s cool when someone challenges the status quo.
I love ceramic for its hardness because I have attributed hardness to its scratch resistance. I just looked up carbon fiber’s hardness and that’s not one of its strong points. But that’s the theory; anyone have any real world experience with CF for its ab...
I had my AP ROO forged carbon for 15 years
And not even a single scratch or dent. But, if you are familiar with the material, its strong points are lightness and stiffness. That's why it's used extensively in race cars and many high-end sports cars. To me CF in a watch is nothing more than lightne...
That’s good to hear about CF
With regards to scratches and dents. Nice looking AP and Tudor!
