@@losoj30 he has a fake tissot prx auto, he paid $80 for it in Hong Kong and has been using it for 8 years, it has a Swiss made replica automatic movement.
@SolimBD How often does this movement need to be serviced? Is it posible to run 10 years without service if there was no problems or there is need to be regular service even if watch works well? Thanks
At 14:29 I see the anchor and escapement wheel. Ancor is black but has rubins on it. So.....anchor and escapement wheel seems to be made of steel here.
@@SolimBD Some watches only wind when the rotor rotates in one direction others wind in both directions or bidirectional. I think Seiko inveted the bidirectional winding with the Magic Lever but don't quote me on that.
Tissot is a Swiss watch brand which makes luxury watches, while Seiko is a Japanese which makes fashionable, efficient and durable watches. But, a Tissot watch has higher quality than Seiko. This is because the brand chooses the high-quality materials which makes their timepieces worthier.
Mechanical watches are designed to last a lifetime, and if taken care of they can last multiple lifetimes. Normal wear and tear from everyday wear is expected with watches
@GamingManiac if you want my opinion seiko's direct rival to the powermatic 80 is the 6r35 wich is featured in their alpinist watches and also features a 70hour power reserve and magic lever winding system and spare parts and modding parts could be found on the internet unlike some of the powermatic 80 parts anyway if you want a watch that has the better movement i'd say go for the seiko but if there's a specific design you like from tissot i'd say go for that too
I heard that you can only service the new PRX Powermatic 80 at Tissot ...and if you have a problem they can only replace the mechanism all together. Is this true? I want to buy the new PRX but this kinda puts a dent in my decision
I thought about buying a Tissot Le Locle that I saw and liked, but it had the powermatic 80 movement. I heard that watches with this movement cannot be serviced. Swatch or Tissot, just swap out the movement, and put a new one in as a service. To me this very off putting, and I wouldn’t buy with this movement. A watch salesman and owner confirmed this issue with me and said, they usually just replace the movement and not service it. However Tissot watches with just an ETA automatic movement can be serviced. I’d prefer to still have the same movement and pay to get it serviced than swapped out. My advice and if those that are concerned is buy a watch with a basic ETA movement and not with a powermatic 80.
Why have you ever had a watch with this kind of movement? Do you trust Tissot servicing your watch or your watchmaker that is doing it behind your back? Even these movements come with plastic parts inside. And these watches with these movements aren’t cheap, so it’s expected that you are getting a good movement to last for generations, and not have something with plastic or possibly disposable. Even a watch salesman I know and who services watches said that it’s true that Powermatic 80 movements do get swapped most of the time. It’s not worth the hassle to service, but instead to just swap the movement out. And to get parts it can be difficult since only Tissot and Swatch only have access to parts. Please do your research.
I have 2 watches with same movement with bought before investigating Assumed is an ETA....Not sure if parts are available when needed. I am a watchmaker and it is serviceable!
Yes, it can be. At 5:50, you can view 4 screw, on the balance wheel. If you moving it radially, you can modify the inertia of the balance wheel, and this is the regulation. It require some special tools.
The Tissot Powermatic 80 Automatic caliber not only demonstrates ultimate precision but also has 80 hours of power reserve. ... As if a greater power reserve was not enough, they also found a way of making the movement extremely precise and robust by concentrating on ways to improve the regulator system.
No, the C07.1XX has plastic parts in the escapment. The actual movement is C07.601, so it has regular escapment. And i mention, that the oscillating weight is not functionally if they are made from plastic...

1:17 I was impressed with the metal movement retainer instead of plastic. 👍🏻
I have a fake tissot prx auto, 80 usd from Hong Kong using it for last 8 years ,it has true copy of Swiss auto
What?
@@losoj30 he has a fake tissot prx auto, he paid $80 for it in Hong Kong and has been using it for 8 years, it has a Swiss made replica automatic movement.
One question. How different is the p80 with the silicium balance spring. Does that come with plastic parts too?
No, only the lowest Powermatic C07.1xx has the synthetic pallet and escape wheel.
@SolimBD How often does this movement need to be serviced? Is it posible to run 10 years without service if there was no problems or there is need to be regular service even if watch works well? Thanks
After 5 years regular service mandatory
At 14:29 I see the anchor and escapement wheel. Ancor is black but has rubins on it. So.....anchor and escapement wheel seems to be made of steel here.
Correct, only the base Powematic C07.1xx has plastic escapement.
Servicing routine. Open watch back, remove movement, throw away, buy another watch.
Is the self winding of the Powermatic 80 bidirectional?
Yes this is self winding but didn’t understand what did you mean by 80 bidirectional. Let me explain again please.
@@SolimBD Some watches only wind when the rotor rotates in one direction others wind in both directions or bidirectional. I think Seiko inveted the bidirectional winding with the Magic Lever but don't quote me on that.
It’s not that one. Bidirectional others one.
Yes, it's bi-directional. And it doesn't use noisy magic lever, so it's rather quiet.
I believe the bridge with the 4 wheels on the underside is what watch companies use if they don't have the Magic Lever. You see it at 6:11.
Is Tissot Powermatic worth to purchase? or should purchase Seiko instead of Tissot what is your opinion?
Tissot is a Swiss watch brand which makes luxury watches, while Seiko is a Japanese which makes fashionable, efficient and durable watches. But, a Tissot watch has higher quality than Seiko. This is because the brand chooses the high-quality materials which makes their timepieces worthier.

@@ImaginaryEvilnot really. It is cheaper for Swatch to replace it, but is fixable. Just expensive to do so.
You can clean and re-oil it. But you can’t regulate the timing.

Can powermatic 80 be regulated ?

Yes, it can be. At 5:50, you can view 4 screw, on the balance wheel. If you moving it radially, you can modify the inertia of the balance wheel, and this is the regulation. It require some special tools.
