Truer words were never spoken. I give you........The Miguel

Very nice, yours looks like it could be the same watch in the video. And thanks for the video! It’s a nice discussion of the early days of sat diving and mixed gases. That’s where this one came from, my buddy was there in those early days and this one spent months with him outgassing in chambers.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd love them to rep this rep!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't see anything from Swatch that speaks to you, spend some time perusing ebay for vintage watches. If you buy based on what speaks to YOU, rather than a price point, you may find enlightenment.......& contentment.

Very interesting. The only problem is, after spending a couple decades here my tastes have refined themselves into a deep corner. Now, I want 4-digit DRSDs and Big Crowns and No CGs and RCO “Sotto”s and Pre-COMEX Subs, and the bloody things cost more than a Cessna. A NICE Cessna. It’s either Christies or I learn how to make them myself.

First, the admission price to Oysterquartz today would likely start at $20k & go up from there. Second, you lose exclusivity by diluting product lines with too many (or too affordable) "entry-level" offerings. Third, I think there are MANY wonderful watches, albeit mostly quartz-powered, out there for the truly astute watch collector. A case in point - Swatch has made some truly beautiful watches, some of which are now quite collectible.

That way, regardless of how history treats your watch's value, you are happy.
