Airport find
Found this at a Swatch kiosk in Cairo airport on my way back to the states!
It's a 2005 Swatch Watch Side Effect. The dial dates 2004, but it was released in 2005 and it's out of stock everywhere online.
To my surprise it was on display and was marked down from it's original retail price to half off to be sold for 64 dollars!!
I know some will think it looks like an electric shaver and others will see a fidgeter 🤣 but I fell in love. I did not hesitate and grabbed it tax free....Niahahahaha

I got sucked into the watch collecting hobby not too long ago. It has been a blessing and a curse 👀

Best moonswatch ever! has a crater and everything.
It has kind of a spooky ghost face. I like it!
Cool addition to your collection especially since it's a chronograph!

The weird thing is that I'm not a Chrono guy at all. And the only other Chrono I have is another old Swatch 🤯
At $64 you got yourself a rare bargain. That is one weird and cool watch and a great find.
You finally back? I thought you were going to post this find:

Has a bit of an Ikepod vibe.

Hahahaha I will post some photos from the Rolex/Tudor dealer in Alexandria, Egypt later when I feel abit better.
I finally woke up from a 24 hr coma-like- sleep, suffering from horrible food poisoning, drinking Pedialyte and browsing watch crunch.
First thing I found when I woke up, sitting next to my desk was a big unopened box from you 😉.
I was waiting to open it to officially thank you. But here we are, Thank you my friend for everything.
Yeah it kinda has a face. Nice Pick Up.
Awesome find! I wish I had one and could send them to friends as gifts! Too cool

You will find your "awesome find" when you least expect it.
To be honest I was looking at the high end section hoping to find a forgotten piece. When I realized what is available are the same old same old, I shifted my focus to the Casios and Swatches and voila.
Just keep your eyes and mind open to all the options 👀🧐.
Good luck hunting
@Bessio Lol. Hadn't thought of the shaver at first, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Great purchase though. Had I been there first, I think I may have purchased that watch.

When I first saw this post I said to myself: "I liked it so much that I bought the company." A reference that no one under 45 will get.
That dial is serving up some ressence vibes the way it sits on top like that. Cool find 👍

Remington I think.. "as close as a blade, or your money back" lol.
It says "Take me to your leader, Earthling"

Thank goodness I was there first then 👀😁
I only can see that alien-cow from Peacemaker TV show. 😜
Definitely has the "shaver" vibe, which I think is part of the appeal.
