- I am a big fan of the PRX. I didn't think I would love the gold tone version. But I do... a lot.

hey Bruce, by the way us prxers call this the 1,1,1😄😄😄
😆
😂😂😂😂😂 Like the Vacheron? 🤣🤣
@@steelsteez6118 indeed, the 1,1,1
🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOVE these. I tried on the 35 and the 40 gold variants and I think the 35 looked better on my flat 7in wrist. Hope that helps someone.
there's got to be some women's watches with this combo?
Took me some time but I've finally took the quartz blue, because of the much thinner profile of the quartz against the automatic, and it's a serious piece for a standard office day, but it's not high end enough to bring on a business meeting.
The bracelet gives it all.
Just bought this and love it! I also have the blue dial steel but both are different watches on wrist. And yes I get the Vacheron vibes too 😁
I have the same watch and agree completely with the points you made. The PRX with the 18k rose gold fluted bezel would be awesome also.
My friend.. thank you. This is the best video I’ve seen so far about the Gold PVD PRX. I still definitely need to try it on before I make a purchase decision but this video has definitely helped a lot on defining if this is the watch I want.
I just got the “green mint” version. I have to say it looks better in person than I ever thought. So I’m not surprised that this gold plated watch has that effect.
Holy shit! This looks phenomenal. I was lucky enough to win this same PRX in SS from Tony from "Talking Timepieces with Tony" (great channel btw and Tony is hilarious!). I love this thing. It wears so well on the wrist. Just melts right onto it with a butter smooth caseback.
I got the PRX with mint/turquoise/Tiffany blue, whatever you want to call it, for Christmas. I know that feeling of being really impressed and surprised. I nearly have Rolex fatigue and this was refreshing. I have a Hulk, Rootbeer, black 41 sub date and a Tudor Panda Chrono and since I got the Tissot I haven't put any of them on. I think I'm going to buy the gold PRX too. It would look amazing with a green dial too I think 👌
I too have this in 40mm. In the bright Australian sun it is so reflective. Also spot price on a kilogram gold bar is USD$61K - much better value than a solid gold watch.
Dude this looks so good on your wrist wow I have the same size/hair volume lol awesome video thanks for this!
I dislike quartz watches and integrated bracelets, so naturally, I’m in love with my mint dial quartz PRX with phenomenal integrated bracelet! I find myself wearing it constantly.
I have been eyeing this thing for months, but for whatever reason I don’t feel ‘ready’? Seeing it in your video has fully te-lighted my desire for it. Might have to do this after all
Nice. I own the 35mm gold now for 2 weeks. It’s a “fun” watch with a major different feel than my other watches. Yeah it’s a bit bold but that’s the appeal of this watch. Not for every day but definitely a welcome addition. Maybe I wil remove the secondshand on short notice for more appeal of the dial.
Enjoy your 40mm 🎉 good fit for your wrist
It definitely punches above its weight/cost. Nice review Bruce!
222 is my Grail watch and to get used I started with the PRX gold 35mm. 😁I love it.
Good move
I prefer the 35mm sizing but the 40mm dial. It’s a shame I can’t get this ideal combination
hmm... a Tardis watch, I want one :)
Looks awesome on you. I also think this would look badass with a black dial. Waiting for Tissot to listen to many commenters and release the PRX in 37 or 38mm.
I have the green powermatic 80. I love it. I saw it at the boutique at Grindelwald first, so had to buy it. But, I want this gold one too!!
I think when this comes out in an automatic, it will be an even larger hit. Very nice looking watch.
And with different color dial options 💋
@@almatt8310 Gold bracelet, with black waffle dial? take my money.
@@rigoeats3654oh my god, it will be insane)) And imagine chrono version in such color combination
@@rigoeats3654 i dont know if they drop one 😔 but damn this combo you named is a fucking dream 🤣
Nice review, thanks.
Great review man, all the love and support from India
Def saving up for one!
I love mine it's an absolute stunner and I even got 20% off at the AD. A proper retro design with a great bracelet (usually the downfall of affordable watches) and the gold plating is really well done. I can't think of another watch for this sort of money that comes close.
Agree, the PRX is the top dog
How did you get 20% off?
@@babayaga7603 Use my discount code mentioned in the video and listed in the description
Does the gold start losing shine
20% off? How and where...
I will be patiently awaiting a 35mm automatic version of this... With a brushed dial rather than the sunburst finish the 35mm quartz versions have.
Have the blue dial version and have the same feelings you do. Love that it dresses up however it can be worn casually. BTW Huge niners fan!!! but moved out to Vegas 5 years ago, would love to go to one of the UT Watch Meetups someday!! GO NINERS!!!
I wish they used the vintage Tissot logo that they use in the visodate for the gold prx that would make it perfectly retro
Heads up , Tissot makes a prx with a solid 18kt gold bezel , it's about 2,000 dollars 😂, and they also make a Tissot gents powermatic 80 with a 18kt gold bezel it's part of there t-gold line
Feels like a rolex oysterquartz on wrist, i know from experience :) love the 35mm prx in gold
I personally love that hidden clasp. I wish it was the standard for Rolex bracelets.
Thank you for the coupon code. I just ordered one from them
Oh man, I perfectly understand what you mean. Personally I have 5 PRXs : 3 powematic 80 - blue, black and white/gold, and off course this exactly gold pvd version. Also have a chrono but the new white blue silver panda (perhaps I will also purchase the blue dial version, we'll see). Congrats on your collection, cheers! 😃
Wow, you really go all in, I applaud you, I want to do this with Datejusts, just have every variation
Bruce do you think the powermatic movement and the green waffle dial would fit seamlessly into the case of the gold model? I'm thinking about buying both to make my fantasy Tissot.
I specifically bought the 35mm gold PRX because I want the 222 and deep down know it’s unlikely I’ll ever own one. It feels so ‘Miami’ on the wrist, I love it.
is the 222 more similar to the 35mm or 40mm prx gold?
@@a13698752 The original 222 came in 34 and 37 I think, plus a smaller size for ladies, i'd say 35 has the vintage feel, although if you have a larger wrist then the 40 will look great. You could of course just wait another year and Tissot will probably bring out a 37mm then it'll be just like the current 222. I'll be getting that for sure when it happens.
@@a13698752 I'd guess 35 since the original 222 came in 34 and 37 and the new one is 37mm too.
It's my goal to get a full gold watch also. Probably start with the datejust and then upgrade into the all gold daydate eventually. Life goals.
Just a point on presentation Bruce. Long time fan by the way. Although I think this was the 40mm in your video (i had to guess by the dial tone) It is always helpful to call out the reference number or state the size/model in your vids. I don't think you specified and my big conundrum with this one is deciding on the 35mm vs. 40mm version for my 7.25" wrist. One of the reasons I love watching your vids is we are similar size and I like seeing the wrist rolls!
I think 40mm would work best for you. My wrist is a flat 6.7" and the 35mm was slightly too small for me. If there was a custom option I would have this made in 37 or 38mm.
I'm going to buy it this time, watched a lot of videos but now I'm convinced 😂
Did you get it?
@@popamonkey190 i tried them both and couldn't make a choice about 35mm and 40mm, 40 gold is striking and 35 is just a bit small, am looking for another stainles steel gold pvd watch
I have the PRX80 auto w blue dial and it’s a very comfortable nice watch….gold isnt my color but to each their own. Cheers Bruce!
Cheers!
I’m getting this … thanks , will look killer with a black shirt rolled up
I think if they removed the ticking seconds hand then it'd be way better. I don't mind quartz, I have the quartz large cartier tank, but the ticking seconds hand on quartz obviously drives me crazy like many others.
The PRX 35mm in gold is super comfortable and well-made. I don't think my GS SBGW253 is as shiny as this PRX. It's almost blinding when you do a wrist roll!!!
I have the 35 mm and I love it.
Reminds me way more of the oysterquartz president day date. I’m getting one
A quick heads up for anybody ordering one online, the gold 35 wears great because the colour of the watch blends with the dial (I have a 17cm, 6.3/4 wrist btw) But I tried on a green dial 35mm auto and it wore much smaller because of the dial being more apparent and too small, so if you're going stainless steel, then go silver dial or gold and gold etc otherwise wait for a 37mm option.
Thank you!! I tried on a SS with green dial in 35mm and it looked way too small on my wrist, even though I have seen many pictures online of it wearing great in men. Ended up buying the 40mm (powermatic green) and loving it, but I might one day get the 35mm gold one too ;)
I love the gold watch of this. I originally bought the quartz, then found out they were releasing the automatic. After realizing i really wanted the auto despite the $300 increase, I got it. There was zero buyer's remorse and the watch still makes me smile everytime i look at it. It's perfect for me.
For reference I don't tend to go towards watches in the thousands, so my best watches are this, the Prospex Alpinist, and the 42 hamilton murph. I had a little buyer's remorse for the other two despite loving them, but not the prx.
Did the color fade away?
Dude this PRX looks badass
Bruce, can you explain what PVD gold means? Is it gonna chip like paint? Thank you
Wondering how well the coating will hold up. Looks really good
This is my concern also. Did you find out anything?
It’s PVD. Should last forever.
For that reason I went for the stainless steel version in blue a lil more understated
I love the 222. This doesn't reach the high standards that the VC piece reach but feels like more than a decent way to scratch that itch and everybody knows that the PRXs are great watches in a vacuum.
I have the 41 of this…. Haven’t had the bottle to wear it out yet… love it though
I love my prx. I got one because of your video tbh. But when I see this gold prx, it looks like a gold time teller Nixon.
I always thought that the Nixon tine teller was a cool watch
The 222 is such a nice homage to the prx
Is that 35 or 40mm the one in the video?
I'll def buy when automatic
I have a golden Tissot PRS 200. Now, can anyone answer that how long it takes for the polishing to start showing wear and tear incase an individual wears his watch regularly? The Tissot service center guys told me that the golden polish can’t be done again so once it’s gone, it’s gone forever but it takes time. So, I’m wondering how much time?
Do a review of the gold automatic one! Please
This also reminds me a lot of the Rolex Oysterquartz, what a bargain!
They need to make the prx automatic chronograph in this gold tone color! Just imagine that 🔥🔥🔥 Take my money!
honestly i love it just for fun but not sure yet how blingy it is 😅
In fact the PRX could possibly be an homage of the 222 as the original release date for the PRX was 1978 and the 222 released in 1977!
Perhaps you can clear up to what extent PVD is an improvement on gold plating. One of the main things keeping me from going gold in general is the fact that on my one gold plated watch, the gold plating visibly wears off, which happened within a few years of regular wear and this does detract from the enjoyment of its aesthetic. Not all gold plating is equal and I don't know how good the quality is on my Frederique Constant. Now I see references to PVD for blacks and golds but I do not understand the difference, if any, well.
Love it my tissot gold!
Is this the 35 or 40mm variant?
I hope they release the auto version of the 35mm soon
Gold isn't for me but I'm still enjoying my 35mm steel with the ice-blue dial. The 20% discount I got was a bonus.
Do you like? I was leaning for darker blue. For some reason in pictures ice blue looks a little cheap for lack of better term. No disrespect meant
Is this the 35mm or the 40mm?
I can't understand why a beautiful watch in this category is coloured gold with pvd coating and why they don't use gold tone stainless steel instead! Could someone who is knowledgeable on the subject explain the reasons behind this? Personally, I would buy it much sooner if I knew it was stainless steel gold tone, because of possible scratches.
Ur a 9ers fan? Hell yeah! Go niners!! Would've never guessed lol The Rolex day date on a president bracelet in rose gold is my ultimate grail watch if I was in your shoes I'd trade in the sky dweller
222 is gorgeous but this PRX is also awesome. I will go for it soon
Just bought it on c24 350€ new!
Tiffany dial on this one … yes please
Sure. What can we expect that PVD finishing to take?
Actually iam looking for Citizen watches today and Tissot.. artist day appreciation, going out now taking a breakfast if saw good watches yah I will buy...I saw PRX Tissot yellow gold dial last week I were it and I like it, let see
I bought one 40mm yellow gold...thank you bro
If it came out as a Powermatic I'd jump for it, but not as a quartz.
Design is top
if tissot made it in solid 18ct gold and sold it "at cost" (I.e. the extra cost for making it in gold rather than steel), I'd buy it.
When it comes to watches these days, I want to think that the watch might last forever. My experience with gold plated is that it wears and corrodes/patina spots over time. As such, I dont add "plated" items to my collection anymore (except DLC!)
It would be cool to buy a gold watch at cost. Unfortunately every brand I know sells the watch for WAY more than the weight of the gold and the rest of the components. By a lot
If you're willing to buy a PRX for $500+ in search of a VC-222 experience than you should have bought a SPECHTE & SOHNE VC-222 for $90. I was shocked at this S & S Gold model compared to a Gold PRX.
Bay area represent! The hawks are goin down!
I wish this color but automatic and to be 36 mm
Unfortunately, the bracelet is a little short for large, 8" wrists. I bought a PRX and had to return it.
Do they have an automatic version of this gold tone?
No
I want to get my hands on a Vacheron 222 so bad😭
Dream on.
BW , go solid Gold. You need at least one solid gold watch, get a Daytona not a Day/Date (to common and don't hold value as well).
Tissot looks great, I am lucky enough to own the 222 and the PRX. I think both watches are excellent.
That’s great to hear that someone would justify buying the PRX even if that have the 222.
Is this the 35mm or 40? I love it!
40
At least they made the back case of gold as well adding some class and making it differ from any other China trinket. Approved.
A nice detail
35mm for me..thanks
one loses 100 dollars max if to be sold which i doubt and the other will lose 20k used considering its not the most popular VC model which is the overseas line while they both serve same purpose
It’s a very beautiful watch. It’s comes is automatic as well. And FYI the gold color will come off after few months of sweating. So the SS it might be a better choice.
No it won't. It's pvd it doesn't come of that easily
Good to see the second hand lines up with the markers. That’s an instant ‘no thanks’ from me for any quartz watch that can’t achieve that.
It lines up pretty well. Not perfect but not bad!
i wish the bracelet looks more like the 222.
casio mtp-b145g .... same thing but 1/5th the cost
Remember my friend “The Honeymoon Period”
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To me it’s more like the oyster quartz vibe
Wish Tissot would make this in 18 k. They’d sell at 30k full bracelet and 18 k on a strap. Not in big numbers, but they’d sell.
The Prx should be gold with a white dial
this is the 40mm?
Yes it is
Go for a gold CASIO Vintage :D
Is this 35mm or 40mm
40
I like it in steel but why the fake gold coloring? It makes it a cheap knockoff. A proper gold version could be sold for 5k
It looks like a VC 222
