I've got this pile of junk...all under $250 And this one was about $350 years ago I like that Swiss Army and the Sieko Ti quite a bit. The Mickey is pretty cool too - I'd wear it now and again just to see who notices!

All of these are new and have never been strapped to a wrist. Coral Gables on the left and a staff timekeepers piece from the 96 Olympics in Atlanta. The green one in the middle was released in '82 or early '83 between the prototypes and when they actually started naming them. The tritium still glows. I can't believe I'm saying this because I never got into the Swatches, but the Tritium dial swatch is kind of cool. Great patina on that lume.

This makes me want to go buy another Swatch.
I'm certainly getting their automatic model that was released at Basel.

Sent from my LG-E980 using proboards Yeah, the Sistem51 is a very interesting concept - a full automatic movement, completely assembled by machine, with just one screw and regulated with a laser and then hermetically sealed inside the case. Depending on the final release price, it might be worth buying one as an investment and see how they perform over the long term.
