That's gorgeous! Looks like enamel due to the reflection, and the coin edge looks max comfy. Is it running, or are you in the process of getting it running? (You'd shown the pic of the 'doner' escapement, so I'm curious).

Unfortunately, the description doesn't match the execution. Even the movement from my pocket watch has more 'finishing' than the movement in the Tissot; this means shaping and polishing curves, engraving flat surfaces, etc. The Tissot by comparison is somewhat...bare? I can't find a better word for it. Maybe have a look at a YouTube vid that has macro shots (Watchfinder & Co do a great job at this) of skeleton movements...then you'll get a better idea of what I'm talking about. Some Anons here will gripe about Watchfinder, but they still produce excellent visual videos.

>I want a watch i can show people
I understand this feeling; just be aware that after a friend says, 'that looks cool', the event is over and people won't show more interest than that. Mechanical watches in this world only matter to people who find them interesting, and that's a small % of the population (and getting smaller by the year). To the people who enjoy watches seriously, the Tissot you've presented is an example of what happens when a brand is selling something assuming the purchaser has no knowledge of the goods in question. If you're spending 1000$, there are lots of options that may interest you more and look better. Consider Seiko, Rotary, Citizen, Stowa, Laco, and others for new, but also look vintage (you can get Vintage Omegas from Chono24 for under 1000 that will definitely be better quality than this, though you need due diligence and you may have to service them before wearing them). The field is large and you're not limited.
