Today we get up close and personal with a new release from Tissot—the eagerly anticipated automatic version of the PRX.

Join me for an exciting unboxing + mini review of this hot new watch (ref. T137.407.11.051.00), where I'll share my initial impressions and thoughts on the historical significance of the Powermatic 80 movement and the brand.

But is it just a homage of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak? Does it live up to the hype of its quartz-only predecessor? With its modest $650 price tag, is it worth it? And of course, will this latest purchase remain a part of my collection? Watch and find out!

I don't know they use a press on back. I've seen some that I liked, but the snap on back is a deal breaker for me, especially with a glass back.

On this episode we checkout a what that has received a fair amount of hype since its initial announcement. I'm happy to share my thoughts on such an interesting piece. This is a truly lovely timepiece for really not a lot of money.

 
I own a lot of Tissot's and others with that case back and for me it's no big deal. One I'm never going to wear a watch enough to have me service it. Two the prices I buy them at are at near disposable watch level. Three, I've yet to have a problem with any of them, maybe because owning a billion watches they never get enough use to show any possible serious issues..This watch when I do buy one will be in the same category.
