Just my opinion, but I feel that those Tissot's look a bit childish.
I'm surprised you've not seen Tag Heuer before. I don't think they do anything in titanium though. |

There isn't much different between Amazon Market place and Ebay. Also the watch was new not used.

![]() Who said I would buy a watch on Amazon Market place? ![]() Who said it is new? How do I know? Citizen has warranty 5 years. eBay seller might disappear in a puff of smoke by then. I buy expensive things only in well established places. Spoiler:
Though Amazon Market place is better than eBay. A few times when I had problems, I let Amazon know, explaining the situation with all relevant evidence. They would issue a refund and deal with the seller themselves. |

Well even if you buy it on Ebay or Amazon Market place the warranty is with the maker of the product not the Seller.

PayPal does this also. Good for the buyer but not so much for the seller, I know someone who got ripped off of a $900 item. The buyer didn't like how long the shipping was taking to Germany (2 months) so reported that the item was not coming, when it did arrive he sent back a smaller model that only costs $100 and was broken and PayPal refunded him for the $900.

However, I think watches that are simple and clean look better on relatively thin wrists, while watches with more features look better on thicker wrists. |

I bought 5 years ago the Citizen Calibre 9000 except in gold and with a leather band. The watch still works great and keeps very accurate time. I heartily recommend the eco drive system. The battery for the watch recharges in light of any kind.

I've also got this Tissot in my collection. Hard to get hold off nowadays, but if you like the look of the Brietling model, but not the price, and if you can get hold of one, then I heartily recommend it.
