I think 99% of people would have given up on this watch long ago, but you tried all ways to save it. Serious hats off to make it as far as you did Mike. Doesn't hurt to show the rare failure, we all have them and certainly nothing to be ashamed of. For a moment I thought you was going to win but the odds really started to stack up against you. Thanks for sharing because I'm sure myself and others have learnt something new from this video.

Tissot are indeed owned by the Swatch Group and Ironically Tissot uses the Swissmatic movement in some of their current models. It's based on the Sistem51, is non-serviceable and is also assembled entirely by machine. It's exclusive to Tissot and has a 72 hour power reserve. Great video, I never knew Tissot used these type pf movements in their earlier models.

Despite its throwaway nature, like the pin-lever Timexes of old, this is a fairly interesting watch simply because of its all-plastic construction. The early 70s was the very beginning of "modern" plastic usage, so something like this cropping up in that time is hardly surprising.

I understand that it's probably way more work than it's real worth, specially since it's not made to be serviceable, so you wouldn't be able to put it back together afterward. But I would have been really curious of prying deeper into it and finding the exact cause of its issues. Feeling is some of those broken tooth, probably lodged themselves somewhere problematic. But who knows what went wrong first and exactly! I think entirely too much things are not designed with maintenance and repairing in mind, so I'm glad it doesn't sound like those became too popular!

Hi Mike a friend sent me this link 😂😂😂 I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you but at this watch! Lighter fluid is a blessing you could of soaked it in that for like a few minutes. I'm a 3rd generation watch maker, and I've seen a lot worse than this, Tissot came out with this watch and had a huge profit margin because of the material they went with. In Chicago downtown Jewelers Row we called these watches " circus watches" a watchmaker didn't do that but a "watchBREAKER" did 😂 I salute you for all your effort, I would of put it back in its envelope and sent it back, I wouldn't give it a chance to breath! Watches like this and Movado's, Cartier's you'd be surprised how many were replaced with Chinese quartz movements and crazy glued the dial back on it because the dial legs didn't fit back on it. So they would hack off the dial legs and just glue it on SMH. Because how many customers you know ever see their watch movements especially on a Movado or Cartier. By the time the battery runs out they don't remember who they took it to and if you still know that WATCHbreaker he would deny it! I respect you doing this as a hobby, this is a trade that is slowly dieing out, any questions please feel free to email me anytime! Great video and I salute you my friend! Cheers 🍻

I can't help thinking that I would have 'got in there' somehow. I would have opened it up for a stripdown. I may be naive, but where there's a will... It would probably be necessary to figure out a way of re-welding the plastic parts together again afterwards. Araldite resin maybe? You could even cast a new gear in some kind of resin, using the old one as a pattern, and hot wax as a mould. There's stuff called 'liquid metal' that you can buy from hardware shops that might work as a gear material in the casting. In any case - thanks for the video and the effort. I had no idea that such a thing existed. At a certain point in history plastic was new and novel. I remember as a child when die-cast metal toys started being replaced by plastic ones. I would guess that they were looking for new applications for plastic. They might as well have used cheese - it would have been only slightly more cheesy than the plastic one 😆

I've done that with a grandfather clock movement before - dunk it, dry it, oil it.
