Another one with a gray dial

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 ;-)
