I owned this piece when I was a tween, and I reacquired one for fun. Heck, I might even buy two!

Now all I need are some swatch guards to twist together so they look really fancy....

Nice! The Swatch case guards were definitely a key accessory. Had two of them: one with the rubber bracelet and the other had a stopwatch complication + stretch bracelet.

Brings back fond memories...thanks for posting. :)

Sure looks like a fun timepiece, congratulations QC.

That's cool Q

Holy Smokes I think I had that exact one!

QueueCumber · 6 February 2014, 12:55 AM

Hehe, thanks guys! It actually took me awhile to remember which one I had. I knew it was see-thru, but initially bid and bought the wrong one, which I realized quickly after I received it. Then I managed to hunt the correct one down. So I actually have two pieces from around the same period, but I only had one of them back in the day.

Here is the other one I ordered by mistake (known as the Jellyfish model).

I also found the Mickey Mouse watch, and won it on Ebay, that is the same type as the first watch I ever put on my wrist! It should be here any day. I wish I could remember all the electronic game watches I had. I wouldn't mind picking up a few of those. Pacman, etc.

The Mickey Mouse watch must have been one of my parent's watches, or they must have bought it for someone as a present and forgot to give it to the person. It was sitting in the attic of our house and I found it when I was around 5 while snooping around. I thought it was broken because I didn't know you had to wind them, but I sill wore it. I was fascinated by it. It was like finding buried treasure!

Nice!! I think I had that same model (the first one) and had the swatch guard to go with it. I lost that watch a long time ago.. always liked it.

If you email the non Swatch owned boutiques in Switzerland, some of them will ship to USA.
