Tissot PR 516 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

When you like watches with integrated bracelets... well you hunt around non-stop to try to discover the immense diversity of this 70s style and then you also buy compulsively! This is the case with this 3rd PR516 in my collection, after the blue dial, here is the gray dial! It is a little customized with an orange / red hand that goes very well with the gray sunray dial! It is certainly too short but that is not my main concern. My idea was to have a trio of Blue, Gray and White. It is done with this one which comes to clutter the drawers and rarely my wrist. So what? When you like something in watchmaking, it is difficult to get rid of it and in my case, I am little or no seller. I love its style, its small size (35mm) its simplicity of execution characteristic of Tissot. of this era. Its market value struggles to reach multiples in hundreds and you tear everything up in the evenings as soon as an amateur approaches and wonders about the beast... which is only a marmoset in the middle of the big gorillas from Audemars or Patek... What fun to make the illusion with this one or one of the two other PR516 integrated bracelet ;-)

I really like the PR516 range from the 70s/80s. It is a small 33 mm watch with an integrated bracelet. The very prominent applied indexes and the Tissot logo also applied are characteristic of this period. The blue dial is superb and the PR516 mention in red gives it a funky side that other versions do not have. It perfectly completes my collection of this style without having anything to envy in terms of look to models from other brands of the same period.

Ah the 60s, classy.... Integrated bracelet, hand-wound caliber to spend time with your sweetheart when you wake up ahah Only downside is the 34mm case, more refined than temperamental, but still a joy. Appliqué logo, signed crown...a sports watch that ultimately goes unnoticed, and it's a treat ;)
