Forget speculating in Speedmaster LEs, the "smart" money is in Swatch

I have the Swatch Swatchissimo book that was published in 1991. When it first hit the market it was selling for close to $200 USD and many were selling for a premium as high as $600 USD. I bought my copy off ebay five years ago for $20, shipping included.

My favorite Swatch. Irony Windfall. Can't tell you how many people have asked me to sell it to them for at least twice the price it was paid for. This one has a special sentimental value for me.

Lol....! The return of investment is great. Although they look nice, I don’t think I’ll be wearing one.

I bought my first Swatch today. It looked very different and funky when I looked at it. Someone within me said it’s worth more than $50 I paid for it.

Wildfire
Swatch watches have never really done anything for me, even the first time around, however I did find myself looking at them in the airport the other day for a bit of a beater.

I actually bought my best mate one for his birthday when inwas thete.

Funny you said that. I found myself looking at Swatch watches during a layover in Korea a few weeks ago and nearly bought one for my Niece. I clearly remember the Swatch madness back in the 80's.
