Don't have one myself... and that is a shame... I have seen CJ's up close and personal and can tell you it sure appears to be one solid diver. Personally, I have always found the bezel a little blingy, but the watch is the real deal. As with almost any Tissot, you get a high quality watch for a very resonable price. I am certain some of the others will chime in as I know Skip and Ken have these and love them.... You might take a look a Ken's excellent review here or at TWB where it has been revived. http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=1585&forum_id=4 or http://www.thewatchboard.com/twb/showthread.php?t=1042

I had the 1000 model for about 4 months. It was on the rubber strap, and I loved it. The only reason I got rid of it was that I gave it to my nephew, who is a USMC 2nd Lt., and was leaving on deployment. He told me he liked it, so I gave it to him, and it is currently in a combat zone, and he says several of his buddies all want one now. He says he wears it in a real harsh sandy environment, and it holds up well. Timbo

If I'm not mistaking the Tissot 1000 is one of OA's favorite watch. I saw one in a mall last Sunday, it is big and beautiful and the exibition back let's you enjoy the beauty of the movement. Great choice, never heard anything bad about it. jdmac wrote: Would like your feedback (or Review) for the Tissot SeaStar 1000 Divers. thinking hard about them.........Please Comment.

For the price the Tissot Seastar 1000 is a pretty good value and a sturdy watch. I especially like the lack of cyclops on the crystal, despite the tiny date window. That said, I've owned two and flipped both (the silver and black dial) - in the end, I didn't care for the polished finish up top (its brushed on the side - I prefer it brushed completely, or polish on surfaces I cannot see, as I hate the shine and bling). The rubber band was top notch, among the best I've ever had on any watch. The bracelet was fine but again, I did not like the polished finish. Also the hands were a little thin and arrow second hand was small (the "T" counterweight was cool though). For $300 its a good watch. Never had any watertightness problems like reported on other boards. As for the comparison to the Oris TT1 above, when I compare both Tissots to my Oris TT1 Titan, I find the Oris to be superior in almost every way, but to each their own. The Oris Titan though, is slightly thicker than a normal TT1, so maybe thats why I like it more. Only hangup with the Oris is the presence of polished links on the bracelet, but then maybe I am just odd in liking brushed/blasted finish instead of something flashy that will attract attention.

Thanks to all those that replied. I think I may take the leap. The bezel as PAX stated I could Live without (maybee). I am gonna go check one out in person. I was gonna jump on a 660 on the bay, but the seller refused to ship-TO CANADA!!!!!!! I told him it's C-A-N-A-D-A, NOT C-A-M-B-O-D-I-A (HAHA) anyway, glad I didn't get the NOD.....................Besides, Never owned a quartz anyway-WHAT WAS I THINKING????????

Well Guys, Here's the update.....................Gonna get me one of dem Big ole Seastars 1000-But........Not from the Local AD!!!!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?????????????? I live in small city CANADA and the PRICES!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY MOLY MAN!!!!!!!!!!! So....... off to the Online Search My friends. PS-For your enjoyment............... As I'm in the AD browsing, a young feller (20-21) strolls in,-The AD asks him if he could help him (kinda Suspiciously-as the kid looked like he just jumped bail!!!) The kid browses the TISSOT display and points to a T-TOUCH Compass and says-I'll take that one - $1500.00???????? Pulls out a Credit Card-The young AD looks at the card signiture as he's ringing it in-picurlarly-Pays the transaction complete and Leaves????? I wanted to tell the poor kid to shop online and save 2/3rds of what he was spending there-However, The only 2 GOOD repair shops/watchmakers in the Province are owned by HIS FATHER!!!!!!! Hard to find a good watch maker, experienced and cheap LOL Last edited on Wed Sep 5th, 2007 05:11 pm by jdmac |
