Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette Automatic Male Watch T0994053641800

The watch is quiet good, no damage taken, the only pity is that is a Manual winding movement watch.

I REALLY wanted to love this watch as I had wanted a decent Skeletal watch for a while. I had followed it online for quite a while and when I saw it on sale I jumped at it. I have a LOT of very nice watches (Rolex, Cartier, Patek.....) so I know a bit about what a quality piece should look and feel like. Immediately the watch didn't grab me but I figured OK it will grow on me. However, the more I handled and looked at the watch it just didn't get better. The band was difficult to get on and once on it didn't feel comfortable. I noticed it had a blemish on one of the lugs like a paint stain. The clasp looked like it was Rose gold VS the face was yellow gold and the stain on the lug was like a paint brush had run along the lug and gotten darker (rose) colored paint on it. When I got my loupe out I could see surface scratches on the bezel and the deployment type clasp had a milky finish inside the clasp where it almost looked like it had faded. I have several watches at this price point- Baume et Merciers among others and there was no comparison to the quality of those VS this Tissot which is surprising since Tissot is owned by Swatch group. Maybe that tells me that Richmont has better quality control as they own B&M.

When i received the watch, the watch case have problem.

looks cool, seemed to operate nicely, went to sleep with it one night, and it seems to have lose components on the inside. Looks nice but definitely not "swiss made" quality
