My name is Rich and I am building a collection of unique complications. I know it sounds more like the way you start a watch museum and not a personal collection. So far I have a Tourbillion, Retrograde, a GMT, Moon Phase and a Spring Drive. I am looking to acquire a chronometer, a world timer, a minute repeater and my holy grail is a chain fusse.
I enjoy fun watches and conversation starters which is why I have a breathtaking Royal CasiOak which looks similar to an AP watch which costs $74,800.00 more than mine. I am a believer that fashion watches have a place in this world. Fashion brands have nothing to lose when taking a risk on a new shape or style. They can design outside the box unlike Rolex who changes the dial color or makes a left handed watch because they are afraid of failure. I just wish fashion brands wouldn't use junk movements and price them as if they hadn't.

The branding was already owned by Swatch. I don't know how much in marketing Swatch spent but it was crazy successful. The supply was atrocious and after anouncing that they would be available for online purchase, Swatch renegged and trickled them to the stores creating stupid prices on the secondary market. That lowers the value in my view. Still not worth more than $60.00 to me.
The style and homage is pretty cool but you are paying $260.00 for a $1.98 plastic case and a $1.39 quartz movement. Why should it cost more than any other $60.00 Swatch?
Since they took the click toy bezel off a diver they were left with a polished bezel dress watch case.
