Was hunting this one for some time. I’m super happy with how it looks in the wild

I haven't owned a Swatch, since the early 90s. Now, I see all this talk about the Sistem 51, and I figured it was time to take another look. Then, I find they're using bio-sourced materials for cases and straps. Winner winner ! So, I ordered one of these...

I also found one of those Hodinkee Swatch summer editions on eBay...

@Matt , I guess we're Swatch twins, now.

[Matt]

Oh yeah! Excellent choices. I may have gone overboard…

[ARNC]

@Matt when have you ever not gone overboard?

Swatch Scuba 200 “Smile”. I’m obsessed with these 90s Scubas. I have two on the way.

[IrishHeart]

@Matt do you ever wear the same watch twice

[Matt]

Not if I can help it.

@Matt go big or go home

[Matt]

I like to go big then go home. Going big makes me sleepy.

[Matt]

Swatches are just too easy. They’re fun to wear, can be found at good prices on eBay and don’t require any real maintenance. I get a little bored wearing the same anything. It takes me forever to fade jeans.

Large quantities of beers and apologies. It’s how I get through every vacation.

[AdamJ]

@Anesthetist Unfortunately not, a boy can dream

Swatch Aqua Chrono…

[Matt]

Another Aquachrono. I thought it was dark blue and dark gold when I ordered it but irl it’s dark brown and light brown…
