Decided to dress up my PRX for the occasion. Happy New Year!

Did a hand swap (and second hand removal) on my 35mm Tissot PRX and I think it really elevates it's look to a dressier looking watch. Thoughts?

It's a very interesting look, the photo looking like an old magazine photo is adding more to the look

True vintage vibes! Removing the seconds hands is always a clever move in quartz watches. Most of my quartz pieces don’t have a seconds hand by design, and it helps a lot to make me “forget” they’re quartz powered.

Just curious. Why would you have them if you want to forget they're quartz?

People tend to have issues with the seconds hand not hitting the seconds markings, but I just don’t like when the seconds hand recoils like crazy in cheaper movements. Without a seconds hand, even a dirt cheap quartz movement can pass by a high quality one.

Sorry for my ignorance, how does a second hand "recoil"?
