Shame you've got to make a choice, but first dibs isn't to be sniffed at.

Both sound lovely, especially if they're "milestone" presentation watches. You could get lucky and find yourself a gold or a gold-capped case, so do check the case backs. You may well find an engraved inscription as well.

Both are engraved with name and amount of years service .

Dad always said the tissot was gold so believe that to be true

The hallmarks will be on the inside of the case back, then. Although some watches are also hallmarked on the lugs as well. You'll either be looking at Swiss hallmarks, or UK import ones.

P.S. I do love the understated elegance of mid-to-late 1960s watches - clean lines while being neither staid nor funky. I have several, and all get regular wear.

Now I’m retired I rarely wear a watch now, all of mine in our safe. Thinking of gifting them to the kids

This is what I've been wearing this weekend. Bought it as a 50th Cake Day pressie to self. And yes, I know, it could do with a slightly wider strap, but this one is way better than the one it came with...

Goes well with a fluffy bear onesie, no?
