Tissot Vintage Watches – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify the authenticity of a vintage Tissot watch?
To verify authenticity, check for consistent serial numbers (case & movement), inspect the Tissot logo (should be sharp & precise), examine the quality of finishing (Swiss-made should show fine detailing), and ensure that the movement matches what is expected for the model. Buying from a trusted dealer who provides detailed photos and provenance/history can also help avoid counterfeits.
What factors most affect the price of a vintage Tissot?
Price depends on several key factors: rarity of the model, condition of the case and dial, whether the movement is original and in good working order, presence of original parts (hands, crown, crystal), materials (steel vs gold or gold plated), and whether the watch has been recently serviced. Also, models with unique designs or historical significance (e.g. Tissot PR, Seastar, or RockWatch) may command higher prices.
Are vintage Tissot watches good for everyday wear?
Yes, many vintage Tissot watches are suitable for regular wear, provided they are well-maintained. Hand-wound or automatic movements should be serviced periodically, crystals or seals may need replacement to ensure water resistance, and the strap or bracelet should be comfortable. While vintage models may not match modern specifications, with proper care they offer reliable performance and classic style.
What should I keep in mind when buying a vintage Tissot online?
When buying online, make sure you: Request detailed high-resolution photos of dial, case back, sides, and movement. Ask about service history and whether the watch has been recently serviced. Confirm return policy, warranty, and the authenticity guarantee. Be aware of shipping costs, import duties (if applicable), and how watches are packaged to avoid damage.
