How can I tell if my Tissot watch is real?
A fake serial number: All Tissot timepieces come with a serial number on the case back of the watch. Numbers are 9 or 11 characters long with no spaces or dashes. If the serial number has a different amount of characters or spaces between digits, it is a fake.
You can find the Tissot watch's serial number on the case back of newer models. On older models, the precise location of the serial number varies. It could be on the movement or the case back on older models.
For modern Tissot watches, some models have serial numbers and some don't. On other Tissot watches, you will see the serial number engraved on actual movement or on the inside or outside of the case back.
Today, these watches will typically sell for anywhere from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on their condition, rarity, and specific model. While these vintage Tissot watches aren't as iconic, they actually hold a lot more value.
