today i found a gold stainless steel tissot pr50 in my backyard. i have no fuckin clue how it ended up there, but its there, my dad has no idea whose it might be. it looks fairly new, but the saffhire crystal is cracked and the battery seems to be burnt out.

does anyone have an idea how much this watch would go for new? and how much a crystal would be to replace?

i did a little bit of googling on it, but i couldnt find the exact one.

and if anyone wants to buy it, throw up an offer. i have no use for it at all.

 Tissots are nice watches. I have the chronographic version of the PR50 (without the gold) and that was $400. It's definitely worth replacing the bezel and battery. You could make some good money

kinda funny but i guess it's the real way to do it on clocks and watches. some king sometime made the mistake once and the clock maker didnt want to insult the king so he just kept it that way. now its considered classy.
