Tissot watches are very reliable and well made for the money. Go see Jeff at Calgary Jewellery, they carry Tissot Watches and he will give you a good deal on it.

cheers,

went through a ton of this thread and can't get and answer but looking to get into a rolex submariner, best place to get the best deal in YYC? any idea on retail and dealtail?

I think Brinkhaus and Calgary Jewelllery are the only two that carry Rolex anyways. Both seem to give decent deals so I would cross shop.

The Canaidan MSRP on a stainless steel submariner is $8,410. It's not easy to get good discounts on the stainless steel sports models, as the dealers don't seem to have a problem selling them. 10% off seems to be the standard discount price if you are lucky.

It's getting a bit silly with the recent Rolex price increases. $8,500 for a stainless steel, mass produced watch? It was only a few years ago when the sub cost $5,000.........

Fly to Oahu.

Prices are way better and what you save on the watch will pay for your trip.

I doubt those are authentic Nixon's considering the night market is knockoff central.. I could be wrong though lol

First battery powered watch to tempt me..
although I've always loved kinetic watches, because I hate relying on batteries
my philosophy is this: if there is an apocalypse, I still want to be able to tell the time, and not have to change the gimpy little disk batteries they have for watches

If there is an apocalypse, the time on your watch will be the least of your concerns.

you're confusing kinetic with automatic. Kinetic watches still run on a battery.

Stumbled across this brand. Seem to be impressive for the price.

I've seen a few people with the pilots and they are decent for the price.

Does anyone have a Tissot Sea-Touch?

If so, how do you like it?

Do you want to sell it?

nice formal/dress watch, did you get a white or black dial?

Still do have the Nav_b, I've cut down my watch collection to 2 and it's my casual/travelling watch.
