I for one am not a fan of this new JLC release...

I think this is the poorest release from the Maison since the Clinton/Mitterand administrations (depending on where you are from) and it is not even close. For the look I would rather have a Tissot PRX, for the money I would rather have a plethora of othe

Puts a smile on my face just seeing this Seiko!

What I love about our hobby is that we appreciate all watches no matter the price point, and especially when they have personal meaning. This PRX, gifted to me from someone special, I always enjoy wearing and certainly puts a smile on my face whenever I l

Tissot Prx's Powermatic 80 uses plastic components including pallet fork and escape wheel

but at this price level, and given the service cost is likely to be higher than the cost of the watch itself, does it really matter? Tissot will likely just replace the entire movement if these "plastic" components break down which is totally fine with me

Complaints about Tissot's plastic movement?

I've seen complaints about Tissot's plastic movement in the news. The plastic part is actually a non-repairable movement, it's a silicon nivachron hairspring. If the watch needs to be rejuvenated, the most convenient way is to replace the movement directl

I wonder how it looks next to the Tissot PRX :))

I know, apples to oranges....but just for the fun of it....still don't understand the low PR nowadays, like PP 324s and 240s.

No, based on ETA 2824

"Aside from its carbon fiber case, the other most noteworthy detail about the new forged carbon Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is the updated movement fitted to the model. Just like all of Tissot’s other entry-level mechanical watches, the new forged carbon PRX

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, I’ve often been baffled by the extreme premiums some brands charge for their carbon-cased watc

I appreciate the thorough research. Again, I'm not "arguing" nor even debating if this watch is a good value.

I firmly don't think this watch is a good value. And I was convinced that some people who think the PRX is a good value might recant if they knew more about the controversy surrounding the movement. Namely the plastic parts, the fact that your neighborhoo
