New Watch Time- Need Suggestions

Kevan said:
Thanks!
I'll stop by Kesser tomorrow. I know exactly where they are located.

....

OH!!!!!! ............ VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!


Be sure to ask them what is "the best they can do on price"....... If they don't take 15% OR MORE off retail, GO ELSEWHERE. ;) :) Any jeweler worth a sale WILL take at LEAST 15% off ANYTHING in that store.... Watches can (sometimes) be had at a higher discount than that. :rock: But, 15% is the norm. :burnout:

GOOD LUCK!!!! :rock:

I went and checked out the Tissot T-Touch line today.
VERY COOL watches. The T-Touch feature is slick as hell.

I tested out the T33.7.888.92, as per Jake's suggestion. The size and thickness is great. Much smaller in diameter than the others I've seen out there. And I think I like regular titanium vs. polished.

The downside:
- The watch itself, sans band, is quite heavy. At least 2x what my G-shock is. Yes- I'm talking about the titanium ones.
- The band can be replaced, but only with a Tissot band. This is true for all Tissot models.
- The band itself is very thick (about 5mm).
- The band latching system is exactly what I'm not looking for.
- Even with all the links removed, the band does not fit my wrist.
- No nighttime illumination.

I also checked out the T-Navigator 3000 (T96.1.488.52), which is the model reviewed in the link Jake kindly provided.
It's got something like 24 time zones and a bunch of other stuff. It's also a larger size (probably close 48mm).
Same band and weight issues as the T-Touch Polished Titanium.
No CF face available with the T-Navigator, and again no illumination.

Tissot gets props from me for making the T-Race- Ice Hockey World Championships model! They call it the Ice-T! (how cool is that? LOL)

So close....so damn close.....

Then don't read it.
DAMMMMMMMM - sounds like you need to get laid or sumpin :eek: :dontknow: :D :D :p :p :rock:
 
I'm glad you liked the Tissot.... Everyone has issues.... But, the real thing is, after you've tried ALL THE WATCHES you can GET YOUR HANDS ON..... Which one is best for you? :dontknow: :eek: ..

Because, me and you BOTH know, Kevan.... We can't afford to have a CUSTOM watch built for us.... :dontknow: :( That is the equivalent of having Dodge build a custom SRT-10.... JUST ONE.... because we want... say GREEN piping on the interior. :p :D :dontknow: :confused: :dontknow: .... It just won't happen. :)

You just have to make a compromise, my friend. ........... I do HOPE you tried on different, (maybe higher priced) models, while you were there. :dontknow: :confused: THAT will give you the best idea of what you're buying. :rock: I told Tim (Django), just last night.... I didn't like my Rolex. :eek: I bought it, sight-unseen.... just because I got a KILLER deal.... and I always wanted one... :rock: .......... But, I thought it felt cheaper than my TAG or Omega. :dontknow: :eek: .......... So, I sold it (at a profit) to a member on the forum. :rock: and from what I hear, he LOVES IT! :D :rock:

I'm glad you made the effort to go and PHYSICALLY try on some watches.... Yes, the Tissot does not have a back-lit DIGITAL feature... But, the analog hands have tritium G.I.D. lighting. :rock: (If you're using the compass, barometer, chronograph, or time/date.... will you REALLY need a back-light? :dontknow: :confused: )

The watch strap is INFINITELY ADJUSTABLE.... I'm SURE it's a "Normal" size strap that can be changed to your specs.... There are literally THOUSANDS of strap/band manufactures out there. :) :rock: If the bracelet on the watch is not to your liking, then CHANGE it! :dontknow: (There are VERY FEW picky folks out there like you, Kevan... BUT, there are ALSO many strap/bracelet manufactures that are more than willing to accommodate you. :) )


I think that Tissot is a great buy for you! (with my "limited" experience of over 16 years in the watch buying market... :eek: ) BUT, ultimately, it's up to you, of course... :dontknow: :eek:

Good luck, my friend. :)

It's fully up to you, Kevan....
