Just ordered my military retirement present…

After obsessing over it for a year, ordered myself a Tissot SeaStar 2000 Professional. Figured I deserve something nice after 20 years in the Air Force 😊 

Getting the bright blue dial on ss bracelet and an extra dark blue silicone strap. Can’t wait!

One, appreciate your commitment to serve our country. You will love your new watch and wear with pride.

Thanks! I looked at the Longines Hydroconquest, Formex Reef and Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, but kept coming back to the Tissot time after time, so it must be the right watch

·

Thank you for your service! 

I have something fun to reveal next week that involves Tissot 🤓👍🏼

Ooo, I’ll be waiting

Congrats on the retirement and thank you for your service.  I am 3 months out from my 19 year mark.  I am starting to get that itch too.

A very well deserved gift to yourself mate. 20 years of commitment to serving you're country is a very honourable and selfless thing to do that few people these days can appreciate. So good on you and wear that watch with pride, you earned it 💯

Now post some wrists shots buddy, we're all hanging here waiting to see your new acquisition 👍

Thanks! It arrived and the wife spirited it away to give it to me on my retirement date after I inspected it… it looks incredible… pics to come on 29 July!

And there it is!

So, after 3 days I noticed this:

The inner chapter ring that holds the indices isn’t lined up with the dial… it’s off by about 1mm to the right. After spending that much on a watch, I want it perfect. So far, Tissot customer service was easy to deal with and already sent me a return label. They’ll inspect it and ship a replacement back to me for free. Hopefully the replacement is perfect 🤞🏻

Tissot came through!!! The replacement came today and it’s perfect. I’m less than  satisfied with the lack of status updates though after buying a $1,000 watch and having to return/exchange it due to a defect. 

It took a week to ship back, then a “waiting period” of up to 14 days while they examined it and decided to exchange it. I ended up calling them on Monday to find they had shipped the replacement last week on the 18th… I guess it didn’t register that they should let me know that little fact. I was about to tell them to just issue a refund and I was going to get a Christopher Ward C60 or Anthropocene (I’ll get one of them eventually)

But after all is said and done, my military retirement watch is right where it should be 😊
