Hi guys, I have just bought a Tissot Luxury which is equipped with the P80.111. I have had a conversation with a local watchmaker, who is skillful in repairing such luxurious timepieces. He told me that this movement comes with plastic parts and tend to get worn overtime, resulting in weaker performance regarding accuracy and longevity. He actually claimed that there have beeen a lot of customers whose 80.111 got problem after 2-3 years.
However, I have checked many comments from this sub and see that they believe using plastic parts is a wise movement of Tissot. They said that doing so means longer maintenance period. And some even stated their Tissot 80.111 never experiences any problems regarding broken plastic parts or poorer accuracy.
So, what is your experience with this movement?
I don’t. I have a .611 in a Mido that doesn’t have the plastic bits, but wouldn’t hesitate to get a Tissot myself.
