    I'd be interested in a Pre-Moon Cal 321 Speedmaster if you have that :) I've got the modern one.

    I dont have one right now.
    But I think they were 39-40mm.

    Crystals were acrylic when I used to sell them new.
    Don't know if they upgraded then down the road.

    I've bought two watches from Chris.

    Always great service.

    Chris is The Man when it comes to watches.

    T-Touch anyone?
    Here is a Youtube video on the watch, just in case you haven't seen one in action :D

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkGyxEA3XK4


    Coolest watch on the market! imho :)

    Trekking model in Orange or Yellow dial
    Titanium case
    Sapphire crystal

    $549
    Factory 2 year warranty attached to every Tissot we sell.


    Titanium standard issue T-Touch

    $599

    Here are some specs on the standard issue watch

    # Brushed solid Titanium case.
    # Attractive black rubber strap.
    # Black dial with black and white hands and markers.
    # Luminous hands and markers.
    # Rotating bezel.
    # Pressing the center button activates the glass. Touching the corresponding label of the desired function will activate it. The glass will be deactivated after 30 seconds of inactivity.
    # Chronograph Function - Chrono Function with split time capability.
    # Barometer Function - The hands on the watch will superimpose to indicate the variance in the atmospheric pressure. The T-Touch measures these variations to indicate the meteorological trend. When the atmospheric pressure rises, the skies clear. The hands will move toward the right. When the atmospheric pressure decreases, it becomes cloudy. The hands will move toward the left. The digital display will give the absolute pressure in hectoPascal.
    # Altimeter Function - When the altimeter function is activated, the watch is turned into a barometric altimeter and displays the altitude in relation to average sea level. The T-Touch Multi-function can be set to display the altitude in meters or feet.
    # Thermometer Function - The T-Touch is able to display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit while in the thermometer mode. For the most accurate temperature measurements, the watch should be removed from the wrist for at least 15 minutes so that body temperature does not effect the reading.
    # Compass Function - While in the compass mode, the T-Touch with the minute hand indicates the geographical North Pole taking into consideration the magnetic deviation. The T-Touch Multi-function will indicate the degree of magnetic deviation between the geographic and magnetic North Pole on the digital display.
    # Alarm Function - 24 hour alarm function with acoustic alarm.
    # Precise Swiss Quartz movement.
    # Scratch resistant Sapphire crystal.
    # Push-button deployment clasp.
    # Water resistant to 30m.
    # Case measures 42mm diameter by 13mm thick.
    # 24 Months Limited Warranty.

    I purchased one of these (from Chris) for my Dad--he loves the T Touch. Also, I have purchased a number of watches from Chris over the past several years. I even called him from Venice (Italy) once to ask him a watch question (and, as you would expect from the posts here, he steered me right).

    Chris is, by far an away, the best person in sales of any type that I have ever dealt with. He is a true credit to this community and his own profession.

    Chris,

    What is the word on these two watches. I am afraid the BRM is in the $20k range, but that would be fitting of my champers taste and beer budget. You might be able to hook me up on the PD though. Also was looking at the Citizen Grand Complication...looks like those are pushing $3k! Why do all the cool watches I want cost more than some of my cars???

    Also, what is so special about the turbillion (probably misspelled that BAD) watches? I know they are SUPER EXPENSIVE, some being over $250k...what is that about???

    Thanks mucho! Looking forward to the new Citizen on Thursday.

    Best,
    James
