Rolex Datejust vs Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80

not a real Gucci watch, on a class trip to New York City when I was in high school. There was a period of time when I didn't really think about watche...

Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look

The Datejust is such a versatile piece, as it’s lowkey enough not to be mixed with the Submariner gang, but it’s robust enough to play in the same league. Its timelessness is what keeps me from acquiring new watches, the design just works! You can work in the garden, wash the dishes or dress it up with a suit, it’s always right. Although I love the blue dials on Rolexes, I must say the white dial is just more versatile when it comes to day to day use.

It is also automatic and has not let me down once. I know this brand holds up as that watch has been my day to day wear and still looks brand new. Also, just to mention, the presentation of the watch is fantastic. Tissot is packaged extremely well and always comes with a very nice box, Manuel and catalog

10 years ago if you would have told me if I would be in love with a two tone Rolex Datejust I would have laughed!. Fast forward to 2021 and here we are with this beauty strapped to my wrist. I had been considering picking up a piece with some gold in it and was drawn to the classic Datejust with the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. I stopped by my dealer to inquire and they happened to have this configuration with the newly released fluted motif dial and boy is it a looker!

So, those that list "23 Jewels" have the plastic parts, while those that list "25 Jewels" do not. The Gentlemen Powermatic uses 25 Jewels, so, as I understand it, does not use plastic. Back to the aesthetics, what strikes me most about the looks is the watch face & hour markers. The face has a very slight texture to the dial, which adds dimension without being overwhelming

I had not seen this particular model at other stores and ended up pulling the trigger to buy it. I loved the sharp contrast in the dial and indexes; really was the selling point for me.

I liked the looks, the versatility, and the movement. Beautiful blue dial and the finishing is really good for this price point.
