I was given a "Blackout" from a friend when admiring it on her wrist. Black case, black face, black numbers, black hands... it can be 12 noon and you can have issues trying to read the time!

Today I saw a nice Swatch at the store, it was 7 feet tall and they only wanted $200 for it. But how to get it on the plane!

i have a shoebox full of them when i was a kid. Im still a kid at 29 and 358 days old. But recently i bought my favorite one from back in the day AGAIN. found it new in box on ebay for $60, and got the same NIB swatch guard II that i had. i wish i could find some swatch guard I's. i used to use 2 at a time and twist them up over the face. i feel like a kid again when i wear it. My fiance wonders about me sometimes... but i know im cool.

Hi Robert.

We were shopping in some antique shops last Sunday and saw one as you described.

As usual I had my camera.
