Hi there, i am new to the forum and require information concerning a Tissot Gents wristwatch that I own.
I must admit that it was a car boot purchase and I acquired it VERY cheaply about 15 year ago.
I have attached images, but here is a description of the watch too.
I will start with the marks inside of the back;
at the top in the back there is a a shield shape with 'J M' in between these 2 letters is an image of a rocket?
Beneath this there is a rectangle with '0.925' inside it.
Beneath this is the 'Tissot' shield with the small print 'tissot' and then the large 'T'.
Beneath this there are a series of numbers; '1061' '31101' and then 'WHWLD'
and beneath this what looks like a hallmark that comprise of 3 circles with figures inside, it is quite hard to see even with a loupe, but the figures look like 925 - a triangle - and an 'A'.
There are many other marks inside the back but these look like makers/workers marks and numbers.

On the mechanism there are the markings;
'T' Tissot, Swiss, and 15020022. The face is a dark slate blue and bears the word 'Tissot' in white with white Roman numerals.

On the clasp of the strap, which is a chainmail type strap there is a silver hallmark which is an anchor, a lion and the letter 'B', and above this again appears the 'WHWLD' mark.

The watch runs perfectly and always has done. Also in the pictures it looks more gold, but all of the pieces are very shiny silver

Can anyone please help me with an identification and possibly a value? Thank you.

PS. I am quite sure at least that the case/strap and back are solid silver

Is it made of silver? I don't think you're looking at a huge amount of value here...
