Tissot HERITAGE 1973

[GolfJunkie]

Anyone have one of these? Really thinking about picking one up.

Would love any input (pros/cons) from current owners

nice but I think I like the similar looking Chronoris better:

Im totally impressed with my Tissot T0664071705700, its has a 2824 ETA movement......





Information that I did find about the Tissot Heritage......

A Solidly Built Movement
ETA’s automatic Caliber Valjoux 7753 is hard at work behind the glass back. As a variation of Caliber 7750, it naturally supports subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. Unfortunately, and unlike the 7750, this movement provides no rapid-reset function for the date display via the crown. Instead, the wearer must press a recessed button on the left side of the case to reset the date. This requires a correction stylus or a repurposed tool such as a ballpoint pen or toothpick.

On the other hand, the operation of the crown and push-pieces leaves nothing to be desired. Furthermore, the movement is attractively decorated. Unfortunately, our test watch gained more than 10 seconds per day, as proven both by the timing machine and the wearing test. Moreover, the small elapsed-minutes hand is not 100 percent vertical in its resting position, but leans a tiny bit toward the left. Fans of retro and sports watches will need to accept this imperfection if they opt for the Heritage 1973. But perhaps they’ll interpret this trivial shortcoming as a beauty mark that reminds them of daring exploits in the glory days of auto racing, when success depended less on technology and engineering and far more on a driver’s passion and charisma.

Thank you for this

Unfortunate to hear about the timekeeping and the imperfections with the minute hand. That seems like it would be something that would bother me. I'll have to check one out in person before deciding.
