It’s true that you are dull compared to the other swatch watches. But I chose you out of the rest that should mean something, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till now I have only seen another person wearing you. And only till recently have I searched for you on the net and found your old self all shiny and new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have forgotten how lovely you were till I saw your old self new again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have suffered from severe scratches, endured dropped off from heights and had stopped from severe exhaustion once but you were loyal till the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You were my first real watch. And my favourite Swatch Watch for always…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7970826428373910460-5882001453052372540?l=swatchcentral.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/feeds/5882001453052372540/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7970826428373910460&amp;postID=5882001453052372540' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7970826428373910460/posts/default/5882001453052372540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7970826428373910460/posts/default/5882001453052372540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/tribute-to-my-favourite-swatch-watch.html' title='A tribute to my Favourite Swatch Watch'/><author><name>moi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-oTmuAL_bNY/SF8t2VMZviI/AAAAAAAAABg/M0xT3DLmNpo/s72-c/3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970826428373910460.post-4966604060734697597</id><published>2008-05-21T08:29:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-07-22T19:57:18.956+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Related Articles and News'/><title type='text'>You Should Buy Vintage Swatch at eBay</title><content type='html'>Why you should buy &lt;a href="http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vintage Swatch Watch at eBay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? The reasons are simple:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Rare Finds: Vintage Swatch Watch at Low Prices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The competition of the sellers, the price offered for secondhand/pre-owned Swatch watches are some of the lowest I have seen. &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-oTmuAL_bNY/SF1ftdKqRGI/AAAAAAAAAA0/dSbQgSqxND4/s1600-h/Osiris_Swatch_Watch.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_-oTmuAL_bNY/SF1ftdKqRGI/AAAAAAAAAA0/dSbQgSqxND4/s400/Osiris_Swatch_Watch.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214429178092995682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;(picture taken from eBay auction)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example of this great find is this (picture above) Vintage 1986 spring summer collection from Swatch. Name of Swatch Watch "Osiris", an Egyptian mythological god of the underworld. The final bid price sold for this good condition "Osiris" Swatch Watch is USD$31.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you search around on the web, you will find that you have to pay almost 7times as much for a new "Osiris" Swatch. Yes it's new but the price difference is great too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Great Service&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sellers are given a feedback on their service and products by you and if a particular seller is great or bad you can see it from the feedbacks by customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;More Security&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this I am referring to eBay auction sites. Having sold items and bought items off eBay, I have come to understand eBay's popularity with buyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Seller, you have to submit &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;accurate&lt;/span&gt; information on your address and you must also accredit your credit/debit card information before you are allowed to sell. They suspend accounts from people who enter false or inaccurate information and also routinely inspects listings from sellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, as a buyer, if you pay by PayPal, you are protected under PayPal's Buyer protection program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Lastly, trust people's taste in watches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a reason why people bought the watch in the first place. Maybe because they loved the design, it is a great watch with good functions, it's a gift from others or they bought it as collectors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now they are selling off their Swatch Watches for reasons that are unknown to us but it's great! We can now find limited editions, out of stock and vintage Swatch Watches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to what is bid on at these auctions as the rarest find, hottest and cheapest items usually have the most bids. So what are you waiting for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your &lt;a href="http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vintage Swatch Watch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; now!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7970826428373910460-4966604060734697597?l=swatchcentral.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/feeds/4966604060734697597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7970826428373910460&amp;postID=4966604060734697597' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7970826428373910460/posts/default/4966604060734697597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7970826428373910460/posts/default/4966604060734697597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swatchcentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-you-should-buy-vintage-swatch-at.html' title='You Should Buy Vintage Swatch at eBay'/><author><name>moi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_-oTmuAL_bNY/SF1ftdKqRGI/AAAAAAAAAA0/dSbQgSqxND4/s72-c/Osiris_Swatch_Watch.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
