David thank you for watching the show! Appreciate the support!

Totally agree with MWC on this one. The quartz version is more in tune with the watch it is based on. The 1978 Tissot SeaStar was a quartz release, so it simply makes sense that the PRX would be as well. Especially now with the new 35mm versions that are nearly 1 to 1 replicas (dimension wise) of the 1978 Sea Star. The PowerMatic 80 feels like a bit of an afterthought to simply satisfy watch snobs that think they are too good to wear a quartz watch. So on one hand, you have one piece that is more in touch with it's horological roots, is an order of magnitude more accurate, requires nearly no maintenance, and is roughly 1/2 the cost. On the other hand you have a watch that has been turned into little more than an homage watch, is not nearly as accurate, costs twice as much AND basically brands you as a pillock who thinks they're too good to wear a quartz watch. I went with the quartz and never regretted it.

It was a close call but I went with quartz blue. So glad I did. Sometimes I get a wild grass is greener feeling but majority of the time I love that I can just throw it on when I get tired of setting my autos. It's also accurate for the time period it references. I'm usually an auto fan only, but as shown there's a few exceptions. Just a beautiful watch.

I prefer the texture of the waffle dial and I wish Tissot had gone with a linen or teak dial (or something) to give the quartz version a little more visual interest. I also agree with you that a 38mm (or even 36mm) diameter would have better suited the vintage look and feel. With the case shape and integrated bracelet, I think it would have worked even on larger wrists. (I have a 7 inch wrist.)

Thanks for the comparison. The RO effect on the Powermatic dial turned me off at first, but I've come to really like the additional texture/interest. It's a shame about the lume. That's one thing you don't have to worry about on a lumed Seiko (closest in feel might be the SPB167 sharp edge). I did try the quartz PRX on at an AD the other day, and it fit beautifully on my 7.25" (18.4cm) wrist. The quartz felt lighter than I am used to, so I'm not sure how I felt about that. I still lean toward the Powermatic, but they didn't have that to try on. Hopefully Tissot will offer some nice rubber straps with quick release to go on the PRX in the future. I do not know why they would go to the trouble of quick release on the bracelet otherwise.

The first watch I ever owned was a Tissot Visodate in steel. It was probably 1965 or 1966, I was 7 years old and the watch was given to me as a gift. So obviously I have a soft spot for Tissot. But these days I would have a hard time buying most Tissots because I hate that font they use on the dial so much. I think that font is awful, it's too big, and it makes their watches look incredibly cheap. In my view they should ONLY use the old script font that was (and is) so beautiful! I don't know why they changed it in the first place, but to me it's a total FAIL.

I have the black dial powermatic 80 version and I can tell you that it looks less homage if you don’t just go for the default blue. Also, the powermatic 80 movement is probably one of if not the most accurate movements non-cosc or metas. And I saw someone mention that they don’t like the lack of weight of this watch. The weight is fine for the style of watch it is. Don’t forget this is a cross between sports and dress.

Agree Joe!

Are you sure the automatic case back is screw in, because I don't see any tabs to allow using a tool to unscrew.

It is my friend but can only be opened by Tissot I believe? Maybe wring but either way you’re not getting in!

Ooooleeee, oleeee, ole, olee, Russel is back, Russel is back !! I was almost missing you, mate! I hope you enjoyed your holiday! Great show! The quartz is a winner for me in this case for the same reason you said (AP homage). What did your wife say?

Thank you man! Yeah as it was a comparison and not a review I never planned the Wife to be on it. However she preferred the Auto as the watch somehow does look smaller with that WAFFLE!!! MMMMMM WAFFLES

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I always apreciate a comment from a woman because they have just a different look at things. And in your case, comments from your wife are so funny !!

I searched for blue waffle: oh god, that was not what I hoped for.

I'll have a full portion of Auto Waffles please.
