How is this a deal? This is one of like 100 things on this site that I have seen recently that is either overpriced or the same price as what it is sold for at retail or on other websites. I fail to see how this is ethical practice considering you will put a price with a slash through it as if we are getting a deal when objectively, we are not.

Thetheparasitemass drop posts what the manufacturer states is the msrp, then they put their/MD asking price. if it's a deal or how good is subjective, but nothing misleading or un ethical, it's cited by the maker of the watch and basic third grade math of subtracting the two gives the difference, based on your budget's sensitivity, you can then make an objective decision from those numbers.

Danbo_de_PianoIt's irrelevant to me whether or not Tissot marks this as a 750$ watch, because nowhere in the universe does it actually sell for that.

Thetheparasitesaw one for sale on Amazon this morning for 750 saw some for less, that said it's a suggested retail price not a mandatory retail, just stating why that number was listed w a line thru it and that there was nothing unethical about it

JdjungHi Jdjung, I'm just recently getting into watches (and just recently getting the budget for watches) but I really like this watch in blue... Do you know of anything similar to the blue version of this watch? Thanks!

ixolusNo, not a blue dial. Not with these specs (watch I linked to) that are COSC certified at $350. TBH I don't know how this one is $350 with the sapphire glass, COSC, history of watch, display back, on stainless steel solid link bracelet, 80 hour power reserve with in-house ETA movement. It's an insane value. Tissot has two watches that surpass the Seikos at this moment in terms of value. The one I linked to and the PRS 516 with Valjoux 7750 chronograph for $450 (gotta catch those sales guys ;) ) Not the ones that are with the newer C01 movements which I've read have had problems. Try to find a new Seiko with an automatic mechanical movement for $450. You can't, I've tried. :(
