The standard production at ETA ....
... is not assembled by hand, but by robots. Consequently, the finishing only depends on the programming of the tools. Of course, it is possible to order hand-finsihed and hand-assembled mvoements from ETA. They do everything, including hand-skeletonizing, as long as the numbers ordered and the payment are appropriate.

In-depth review: Tissot PRC 100 Chronograph Automatic
T issot PRC 100 Chronograph Automatic Experience Review by Marcus Hanke Most of us watch enthusiasts are familiar with the problem: the quest for the Holy Grail watch, “the” one and only, perfect watch for the whole life. Well, those who know me a bit mig...
I've always liked the...
"Riviera" bezel, but found the silver dial the more legible - but less interesting - dial. All-in-all, one heck of a bargain for a 7750 with sapphire crystal and 100-meter water test. I don't think, however, that Tissot took the 7750 with Kif shock protec...
Yes, the B&M Riviera is a true classic ...
... which I always liked. The current versions, however, are too large and also too expensive to serve as vacation watch. Regarding the shock prodtection: I don't think there is a functional or quality difference beetween Kif and Incabloc. Regards, Marcus
Perfect review
Marcus This is what can be called a comprehensive review. Congratulations Cheers
Just adding ...
Now that I saw the review on a real computer (I was using an iPad) I could see how great is your review. We should use your review model to all reviews. It left no open questions and it was so clear. Add to the fact that you pointed the good, bad and ugly...
Thank you kindly ....
... your nice compliments are of course highly appreciated. Every one of our moderators has his own, individual style of doing reviews, and I like this very much. Enforcing the same template for all of them would do no good, I fear. If you want to read so...
never thought i'll see something like a tissot
knowing theres imperfections in life and accepting them, its kindda priceless. totally enjoyed the review!
Can I trouble you to elaborate this part?
"They were assembled as the fell of the machines, without any deburring" Thanks for an excellent experiential review. Best, Horo

Thanks for clarifying.
I understand that ETA has got tiered finished movements sold to their customers, including IWC etc. Thanks again. Best, Horo
These are great watches for the money...
...although it's their strong heritage that appeals to me more than anything (and why I have so many vintage Tissots these days). Thanks for the practical review. Always nice to read something that doesn't sound like it came out of a PR department.
Very nice review...
It is great to see close-ups of less expensive watches to understand where the effort goes in dial and casemaking. I wonder if you could share your other candidates for a day/date chronograph. It's a category that I am interested in too.
thanks
thank you for an ecellent review..I love Tissots and have been a very satisfied owner of many over the years..I love these uniue and classic models of Tissot, specifically the PRS 516 and this version of the PRC 100 Please for those who do not know, inclu...
Thank you very much, my Tissot performed extremely well ...

The problem with day-date chronographs ...
... is the lacking variety of movements featuring this complication. Aside the discontinued Lémania 5100 and the Zenith 410, there is only the ETA/Valjoux 7550 left (and, of course, its full-calendar cousin, the 7751). Okay, there is also a full cale...
