Great deal for a Swiss automatic from a solid brand like Tissot.
43mm is a little big IMHO, but solid specs for the price!

That being said, can you actually get a replacement ETA C15.111 movement? Is it interchangeable with a 2824? I know the C15.111 is based off the weird Sistem51 movement which you are unable to replace due to the movement not being available.
I have a Orient and a Seiko that's easy to service...many watch stores will do it on the cheap.
I've moved towards quartz because I still love watches, the look, the variety of styles you can get, but mechanical just does not make any rational sense as someone else described above. They're way fussier and require maintenance service over the years, the service costs can buy me 1 or 2 Tissots, or even more (~$1000-1200 for a Rolex service). As someone who isn't "money isn't even real to me" rich, $1200 does mean something to me, and I rly can't justify mechanical watches beyond buying "cheap" $100-300 ones intending to never service them and purely as disposable novelty trinkets essentially.
TLDR bored of mechanical watch hobby, stick to cheap quartzes

Thanks for the link. I almost purchased one from Nordstram Rack a couple of weeks ago, but after seeing this video, I'm glad I didn't! That looks like he's got a grandfather clock strapped to his wrist. Holy hell that's big.

In fairness that guy has really small wrists though too. He has it tightened to the last hole on the strap. I agree that it looks ridiculous on him, but maybe he just likes looking like an eight -year-old who wore their dad's watch to school.
I'm going for it on this one myself. Thanks, OP.
The whole classic car thing doesn't do a very good job of standing up to any amount of rational scrutiny. All roads ultimately lead you to "there's a Honda or Toyota that does everything more accurately, more reliably, with more comfort for 50% to 99.9% less money. The only way this car is superior is in the metal body". That applies to all the way down to Mustang and Corvette, and all the way up to Ferrari and other similarly priced car brands. Classic cars are idiotic.
Corvettes don't have metal bodies.
Conversely, Invicta monstrosities sold on TV are up to, what, 50 mm, and have designs so rich with tackiness and purposeless bling that they wouldn't be any more readable (or less unreadable I should say) as wall clocks.
Shame about this one though. It's a very nice dial design, maybe the most appealing that I have seen on a Tissot; it's just too darn big for my tastes.
