tribefan 6,765 Posted February 17 I like the Saturn the best. Then I saw the print on the 10 o'clock sundial is off and now I can't unsee it. Can't beat the price tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvp3 2,079 Posted February 17 (edited) 1) Happy to have fueled mindless purchasing of watches……..it’s kinda my thing. 2) Rich, yours look amazing really. These are definitely V3 or V4’s. Early models didn’t have proper battery doors and in some cases didn’t have recessed sub dials. I’d bet a few of yours are dead on color wise as well. 3) The ‘crystal’ etching is the ‘S’ for swatch, not the Omega symbol. Several of your pictures so the S reflecting on the dial so at least some have it, if not all. 4) I’m going down a Casio rabbit hole right now that’s gotten pretty stupid. From 1 Casio in 10 years to 10 in one month. 8 pictured below with custom cases, bracelets….some titanium. 2 inbound from Creation and one from Mercari.

Its not off that far. Printed slightly differently than the other dials but it is close to correct. Some of the pics I see from gate customers have it a bit better than mine.

cvp3 2,079 Posted February 17 (edited) Just pulled out my GEN. The updated version that Rich bought - definitely has the correct Swatch Watch script at the bottom of the dial. Hard to see on the dark faces - moon, mercury, Neptune - but it’s there. My rep’s don’t have hat at all. I cracked the case back and the battery hatch may be operable on my version as well. Not going to tempt fate. The movement is also stamped - PE50 Sunon 0 jewels. Edited February 17 by cvp3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just full retail is $240 per Watch USD so that’s $2,500 with no markup. I’d expect $4 to $5K USD for a full set unless that market is finally settling. Now if it had the Blue Neptune - which stopped production due to the color transfer to skin/clothes - you’d need to add another $1K USD to that number for instant scarcity.

NCRich 13,321 Posted February 18 @trailboss99 et al so I was going to replace all the fake Renata batteries. Guess what? They are REALLY fake batteries. As in it just a piece of metal glued to the movement under the battery door. The door doesn't line up with the real battery! What will they think of next? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 626 is about 36 cents after all if you buy a card of them from a wholesaler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
