Hi folks, looking at picking up a late Xmas gift and was waffling between Tissot Seastar 1000 or the Swiss Army 9G-600. I have read Ken's review of the 9G that is what peeked my interest but have also stumbled on the Tissot. face4.gif

I have read Ken's review of the 9G that is what peeked my interest but have also stumbled on the Tissot. Mike, I have both, and it's a hard choice. The 9G-600 is a little more utilitarian and business-like, and, it is, if you have a use for it, a chronograph. On the other hand, the Seastar 1000 is one hell of a chunk of metal with a solid feel and a lot of pizazz! It comes to mind that I did a review on the Seastar, also! http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=1585&forum_id=4 Well...............I'm certain that helped!!! What the heck, get 'em both!smile8.gif

Mike...my humble opinion is if you can find a 9G-600 at a good price go for it as they are limited in quantity and are still sold for $995.for those vendors who still have them where as the Seastar is found in abundance on the sales forum and a staple in the Tissot line hand6.gif The 9G is also a Val.7750 opposed to the 2824-2 in the Seastar...I believe everyone should have at least one 7750 in their collections imhowatch2.gif

Tough choice to have to make. I would agree with Oscar that every WIS should have that 7750 in their collection, but in this case I, personally, would go for the Tissot. I like the diver's styling of the Tissot and think it's a great value. The SA is too. My choice is the Tissot with a blue dial. Nice quandry to have... Please let us know how it turns out and we'll hope to see yur choice make an appearance at 3T. Cheers, Pax

Thanks for all the "sage" advice folks. I agree, was hard to choose between 1000 and 9G, but as they appear to be less available and I am curious about the 7750, decision 9G! Delivered to my door for just over 400 so am pretty pleased. Thanks again for the tweak about the Ebay listing. I will keep watch for a nice 1000 (leaning towards the silvermyself). Again thanks all for your help and support. (PS my PRS 200 (yeah I know quartz), went south and I had to send back for repairs so am a little off Tissot today). Mostly, I could not get past Ken's great review, so this will be me in a few days:
