Vintage poor man's Monaco - like watch

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this older (1950-1960's) Tissot watch.

I am getting the original band repaired, but it still looks great on a Timex band. My friend called it a poor man's Monaco....!

I like Tissot, they have history and would be my choice for a cool budget watch, had a few when was younger, had even 2 touch-T or T-touch, iPad technology before iPads

Tissot makes attractive watches at a reasonable price. I have a recent Visodate.

Thanks guys - I like seeing these old watches so well preserved ...

I've always wanted to own a Monaco - this will do for now...
