New to me but second hand and gently used. I picked up a Swatch (Quartz)wednesday at a  local thrift for 8 Milwaukee basketball mascots ( alright really 8 dollars ,plus tax)It has a clear plastic strap with a black keeper .The watch attached to it is  black plastic cased  with a with a black face with white crackly lines on it hands are brass stick with a red second hand. The case is 33 mm  .The  face is 30 mm set stem is at 3.There are no hour or minute markers but it is easy to figure out.The strap is not held on with spring bars but a pin which slides in with a fairly tight fit instead. Lloyd ?( not sure if the spelling is correct) My local jeweler thinks it is a neat design as pressure from spring bars might break the ears on the case with outward pressure. A genuine Swatch OH JOY!snoopy1.gif

Congrats on the pickup. I have a buddy who has one of those originals put out the first year I tried to buy from him. I bet it is worth something now. Enjoy that baby. ;)

Cool!
I really like a lot of Swatch designs though I go for their basic black and white, of which I have three. I just got a Fun Scuba, I have a Skin chrono with 1/10 sec sub dial and found a NIB "Black Friday" chrono (23 jewel quartz!) from Squiggly last year to replace one my wife gave me when we were first married. I wore that one so much it couldn't take it anymore!

Cheers,
Griff
