Title: Tissot PRC 200.
Post by: Chako on June 24, 2018, 01:00:13 AM

I wasn't looking for another watch. Heaven knows I need another one like I would need an extra hole in the head. However, when I walked into one of the local pawn shops and spied this Tissot box, I couldn't help but ask a few questions. I quickly found out that the previous owner got it as a gift and the he never used it. I never owned a Tissot before...and the price appears ok for a brand spanking watch that dated to 2012. I took it home with me.  :facepalm:

The box did its job. It got my attention. Yeah, I know I am easy.  :whistle:

Hmm...what is this hidden in the back?

Now that is cool. A 2012 Tissot catalog and a separate book telling of the history of the watch brand. Way cool.

Opening the box, the watch is revealed. I also found two somewhat hidden compartments on each side of the watch that held even more paperwork. The top lid still has the included black felt watch pouch.

This one has a nice uncomplicated watch face.

I checked to see if there were any included links as I tend to always have to add a few for my largish wrists. Nothing. With trepidation, I tried it one...and it fits me perfectly! At that moment I knew I was doomed. The watch still has its protective film installed.

Yes, I do like my first Tissot a lot.

I don't think I went wrong for the asking price of $150 Canadian.

Well done.  I remember a Tissot T Touch watch I really liked.  It was out of my price range at the time but man I liked that watch.  I never got one but from what I recalled its a pretty nice watch company with some really nice styles.
