It's me birthday🎂,and I got a Tressa deluxe

Yes it's my big day,and for my present from the family I've received (with supervision of course) a sparkling tressa deluxe. 

Image

I've been wanting one of these for ages, just love the colours, the designs of the faces,some great case shapes,proper 70s and vintage Swiss without being silly money.

It's even got a bevelled crystal, which is cool but will have to be careful with it as could easily chip.

It was quite hard to choose which one as there are dozens of designs out there. So if you want a bit of 70s (like me) lots of pop,some funky case shapes and certainly different give one a go, and you can can them NOS, so perfect condition (unlike me). 

An interesting back story to these Tressa's, allegedly when Tressa went bust all their stock languished for years in a warehouse till a few years ago till a guy from Germany bought the lot up and started selling them and now they're being sold here in the UK as well, so there's plenty of wrist bling to go round., vintage without some of the vintage risks as never been worn (though some new lubricants might be in order). And as for my age, well I've probably(more than likely) passed my IQ score ( no not 26,cheeky gits😁).

Very nice indeed! Never heard of them before so going to do some digging!

I had a Tressa dress watch a loooong time ago. The only thing I remember about it was that it ran so fast I dared not drive at 88mph when wearing it. 
It has the air of a Timex Q Falcon Eye, or 80s Orient to it with the green. Very handsome. Dare I ask as to the movement - AS 5206?
