LoveTheBobby 1 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i'd never heard of it tbh . used to have one of the clear 'jello' (?) swatches back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can't believe MT is fretting over paying £30 for a shirt when you've actually spent (what I presume to be) more money on the cheapest-looking watch I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Difference being these have risen in price year on year for 25 years. Only going to make money on it when I come to sell it. Same with pinball machines. Made 2k on the last one I sold. If you're going to have a hobby it may as well be a profitable one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Howay man, I bet it's only about £150 now. How much profit you going to make on something like that? £50 over 10 years An Omega I bought less than 3 years ago now retails at £500 more than it did then.

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 250. I didnt say I bought it purely to make a profit, but the fact I know I won't lose money on it makes it easier to buy it. 500 quid!? Pfft, small change compared to the world of pinball.

That kind of proves my point about the resale though. You aren't going to sell it for anymore than you bought it for because for the relatively small difference people would rather buy NIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I was just pointing out the profit would be negligible tbh. Plus, you'd have to not wear it to keep it in mint condition. This is doing nowt to allay Stevie's Michael J. Fox comparisons btw Edited February 16, 2012 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You can buy swatch protectors to wear over the top to protect them, and they don't look shit at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You can buy swatch protectors to wear over the top to protect them, and they don't look shit at all I remember them Omega and Swatch are the same company as it happens. They didn't wear fucking Swatches on the Apollo missions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They didn't wear 90% of the new Moon watches on the moon either! There's a ton of variations on the same watch. The earliest models sell for a shit load! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Bloody hell if I had £250 to spunk away as a gift I don't think I'd be thinking about selling it on the moment I bought it! Each to their own - I'm sure MT will eventually show us this shirt that'll make your watch seem like it wasn't nicked from a lost & found at a community pool.

Vintage is something of 'a certain era' 1987 falls under that! http://m.dictionary.com/d/?q=vintage&o=0&l=dir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
