My wife got this for my Bday after watching this video. You are right, the render on PRX website don’t do justice. It is an absolutely beautiful watch.
Obviously mate you ticked all your boxes!🤣 I recently bought the 35mm with the green dial & wow!🤩 I typically wear around 40/42mm on my 17.5cm wrist but this just works. I do have a number of vintage which are smaller than this btw.Enjoy your more than justified decision.😂
Thank you for the great review, just bought one thanks to this and a few others here on RU-vid. No one seems to mention that the 35mm has a different dial to the 40mm? 35 is sunburst and 40 is vertically brushed plus the gold tone is slightly different on both.
@Stuart Bui well I went with the 40mm as the 35mm is too dainty on my wrist. I wasn't sure about the vertical brushed dial of the 40mm but it quickly grew on me and I now prefer it to the sunburst - just personal opinion here - but I think it looks a bit more expensive/classy than the sunburst dial. They're both lovely and extremely good value for money. If you're in the UK, goldsmiths do a really good key worker discount (20%) and I bagged it for £295 with no haggling (hate haggling) in fact I love the PRX so much that I not only brought the SS blue quartz but I also went for the panda chrono! 😱 love all of them, brilliant watches for the money. Again got 20% discount so it was only (only 😅) £1200 with a free B&O speaker instead of £1500 👍🏻
I'm glad you said the photos on the website don't do it justice. I have a PRX already and had been considering the gold one but wasn't keen on how gold the dial appeared in the renders, but after watcing this video and seeing some real-life photos online it looks much more toned down. I think this'll be my next addition to the collection.
Yes, my watch guy did it in about 10 minutes. There’s a RU-vid tutorial out there with someone doing it to their Blue dial PRX quartz, but I didn’t feel comfortable doing that
My wrist is exactly 6" and I am 5'6". Which size should I get in both the PRX and the Everytime? I want to get both of those watches but am not sure what size to get. I want the gold since it goes with my warm skin tone. Gold tends to be overly blingy so keeping it minimal is key. But minimal can be too dainty or feminine too though so there is a fine line to walk when sizing the jewelry item. That includes watches.
the gold version of the Tissot PRX looks very similar to the Vacheron Constantin 222 ($62,500.00) but not as expensive. I have the silver with black face version of the Tissot PRX which I am enjoying very much.
@@simontvrner they would release the powermatic 80 35mm fluted gold colored bezel with diamond dial first, then they'll continue with the "standard" model I guess...
There are plenty of Tissot Monocques on the internet in 14k and 18k variants, not so expensive. The dial looks almost the same but it's made of valuable material!
This is way more resemblant of the full gold Rolex oysterquatz day\date president. Very cool…! Im getting one just for when I want the full gold retro look.
The Powermatic 80 is a bit taller. Quartz movement is thinner. The automatic watch is 10.9mm tall and the quartz is 10.4. You can see them compared here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XM8jl66GKuI.html
@@Long-nd8bq yes, due to the bezel and caseback thickness it's differ in the height, but I haven't had a chance to have both automatic and quartz version on my bench to compare because both shares -aside from crystal gaskets- the same bezel gasket, tube, crown, and caseback gasket, which led me suspecting that both shares the same middle case. And also the same bracelet.
@@watchnerds from what I can see the automatic case is different and has a threaded display case back where as the quartz has a pressed on case back. The bracelets are the same. The crystal and bezel are the same. but the difference is the case itself and how it's milled on the back.
@@Long-nd8bq uh no. The automatic also pressed on caseback. Crystal+crystal gasket reference number is different, and also the caseback differs due to the display back on automatic and to accommodate the room for the oscillating weight plus while it's possible to put the automatic model caseback to the quartz version, the solid back cannot accommodate the rotor on the automatic. Same applies with the bezel as the bezel on the automatic is a little thicker to accommodate the handstack that is higher than the quartz version, but both used the same bezel gasket, so it's possible to put the automatic model bezel into the quartz version but otherwise can't be done as the second hand on the automatic version would hit the crystal of the quartz bezel version. The only reference that couldn't be seen is only the middle case/caseband thus my question.
Quartz is perfectly fine. Anyone saying "buy automatic only" is just being an arrogant snob. Also no one died and made you a dictator telling others what to do.
@@algo2017 tell that to the Citizen 0100 Caliber. Quartz watch but it's $16,800. It's also the world's most accurate watch with a deviation of 0.5 sec per year. Good luck doing that with mechanical. You can keep saying it's not okay but the material finishing and labor is there and these luxury quartz do have a place in the market or they won't be doing it for decades. Deal with it.
@@rinnychor if you want accuracy why not just get an Apple Watch cellular 😅 if you want men’s jewelry then just get your stainless steel bracelet. Don’t fool yourself with a battery powered, Royal Oak looking piece of crap.
@@algo2017 did you really just compare a smart watch to a watch made by actual labor of a watchmaker's hand? That's like comparing a computer keyboard to a classic piano music instrument. Bruh, who are you to judge on people fooling themselves in how they spend their money? It's not your money is it? People ain't obliged to justify shit if they can afford it, you know.
