So, here are the eight models as shown in Swatch's website.
So much for wait until the 16th.. :-)

Each one has a name in a different language, which translates to 8+color

OTTO ROSSO = Red Eight (Italian)
HUIT BLANC = White Eight (french)
GREEN EIGHT = ...
BLAUE ACHT = Blue Eight (German)
LÀN BA = Blue Eight (Chinese)
OTG ROZ = Could not find out, but seems like OTG = 8 + ROZ = Rose
OCHO NEGRO = Black Eight (Spanish)
ORENJI HACHI = Orange Eight (Japanese) - Yeah, it means orange ( オレンジ )

The ones with small seconds sell for 400 Euros
The others for 385 Euros

Given that the OTG ROZ and the LAN BA have the crown at 3 o'clock, probably a band will appear in the future to use them on the wrist.

Otherwise, all you need to do is set your watch 3 hours late :-)

I wont be queuing outside Swatch, but I think they are nice, and by presenting them as pocket watches, Swatch is actually shaking up the market.

IMHO this is a very good move for AP. That will insert their brand for a very young market. Although it might take 20 years to bear fruits.
But I still don't know what is the long term gain for Swatch.

Have fun

The refund of my previous SRPK33K1 was processed by Amazon....

So I went to the nearest AD and brought this guy home.

At first I was really afraid of it being too big for my wrist. But then I grew accustomed to its size.

Very happy with my new Bumblebee.

Decided to return it after it lost power overnight.

The Rotor is not turning freely and it has this loud scratching sound.

That means lack of oil or a broken bearing...

Too bad. Serves me well for purchasing it over the internet (Amazon).

Hope all is refunded.
Wish me luck

We have those two guys as extra.

We are looking for a Batman.

Once we get him, We'll exchange the other for whatever we don't have.

Thanks.
