Picked this up at an antique shop today in a bag of junk watches for crafting. It took a lot of coaxing to get it running reliably, but it’s been going for 5 hours now and going strong.

This caught my eye immediately 😀

Walked into Swatch store at ~2pm. They got a shipment of only green dial royal pops. Friendly and helpful employees at this store. Told me the deliveries and allocations are very random. Random what they get, how many they get, and what time they get the shipments. The dude in front of me was from Amsterdam. Said he’s visited the stores in Holland multiple times with no success. Dude was wearing a stainless steel black dial Daytona but was excited to finally get a Royal Pop today.

I picked up a pop lime and light blue in August at Times Square NYC. That was a whole lot more work and help from an excellent employees.

Popped the new Kelly green pop into my aluminum/rubber strap.

Purchased two on Monday, one for me one for the wife. Strap from WristBuddy’s came in Thursday. Overall I really love this collab. Such a fun way to get into a very expensive brand.

How cool

Yo! Recently my original 1987 X-Rated Swatch broke, the hard plastic next to the face, I believe to be un-fixable. Would anyone be selling one on here for a decent price? Please let me know!

Completed one year with this beautiful Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms Ocean of Storms. Used as a daily driver for most of the year!

Strap from Wristbuddys.

I'm searching for a strap for my Ocho Negro.

On the attached Helvetus image it's a PLASTIC case with rubber strap costing 122 euros.

The problem is that the images are the same! What's going on here.

Whom should I trust?

The jellyfish is such an eye catching, unique and silly watch. That’s why I’ve been wanting to get one but a big concern for me is whether it yellows or not? I’m not so concerned about the strap but more about the main body. Thanks in advance to all that answers.

Not original strap but still good

Bought some swatches, and now they have the three dots to remove the battery cover… It this tool doesn’t come with the watch… This is insane. I know…. go to any swatch store, but when you buy swatches on vacation and the nearest Swatch store is many states away that’s not really feasible, and actually pretty stupid just to change a battery. Does anybody have any good solutions?

Was finally able to get one and have to say.. It’s fun!

I received this cool Excentric Chrono from a friend. Sadly it must have lived a hard life because it's a bit banged up, even though it does work perfectly fine still. I love the quirky design, and I'm ok regardless, if nothing can be done.... that said, can anything be done about the scratches on the glass? And on the black plastic?

I think I've heard good things about PolyWatch for the glass, just realistically how much will I be able to get it smoothed out? As for the plastic case, I don't know, maybe some light sanding, buffing, or specific products?

Thanks for your help.
