FOR SALE IS A TOTALLY SWANKY EARLY 70s TISSOT PR-526 GL HI-BEAT OMEGA(CAL.1012) POWERED AUTOMATIC IN AWESOME CONDITION. SIGNED 5X. RECENTLY SERVICED
-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP SOLID STEEL TONNEAU CASE MEASURING IN AT 36mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. THIS CASE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS HARDLY EVER WORN. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BRUSHING ON THE CASE TOP AND BRACELET IS IMPECCABLE AS IS THE MIRRORED SIDES. TOTALLY UNMOLESTED AND SHARP SHAPE. SOME VERY MINOR HAIRLINES, BUT MAN.....THIS THING IS TIGHT. I'M NOT ALWAYS AN INTEGRATED BRACELET FAN, BUT IN THE CASE OF THIS WATCH THE WHOLE LOOK IS TOTALLY SEXY AND EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE .

DIAL: HOT DAMN!!! SO MIGHTY FINE. SERIOUSLY, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A DIAL LIKE THAT? CHECK OUT THAT IRIDESCENT GREEN DIAL WITH THAT COOL MARBLED PATINA IN THAT LACQUER. SUCH A TOTALLY GNARLY EFFECT. THE MAGIC OF THIS PARTICULAR PIECE IS THAT SILVER CHAPTER RING THAT IS SUSPENDED ABOVE THE DIAL CREATING AN AWESOME SENSE OF DEPTH AND CASTING COOL SHADOWS UPON THE WATCH FACE. IT'S REALLY QUITE THE SITE TO WATCH THE HOUR HAND PASS UNDER THE MARKERS. I LOVE THE CLASSIC STEEL STICK TISSOT HANDSET. THE POP OF ORANGE ON THE SWEEP SECONDS HAND REALLY PLAYS NICELY WITH THE GREEN.

MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN OMEGA POWERED(CAL.1012) TISSOT 2930 AUTOMATIC. THIS WAS A HI TECH MOVEMENT BACK IN THE EARLY 70s WITH ITS 28880 BPH SPEED, HACKING FEATURE, AND QUICKSET DATE. DEFINITELY A STATE OF THE ART MOVEMENT FOR THE TIME. THIS ONE WAS SERVICED BACK IN FALL 2018.
THIS PR-526 GL COMES ON ITS ORIGINAL SIGNED TISSOT BRACELET WHICH IS SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST AND HAS 7 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS, SO it SHOULD AT LEAST ACCOMODATE A 7.75"+ WRIST . THE PRESIDENT BRACELET IS IN REALLY PRIMO SHAPE. I LOVE THE SUPER TAPER THESE OLD BRACELETS HAD GOING ON. THIS TISSOT WOULD MAKE A GREAT EVERYDAY WORK WATCH OR WOULD FIT IN PERFECTLY UNDER A DINNER JACKET.....AND, THAT DIAL!!!! WHOEVER GETS THIS ONE IS GONNA BE ONE LUCKY BASTARD.
