General remark on vintage Swatches: please be aware that the Swatch watches we sell are from private collections and presented here also as collectors items. Each Swatch we sell was collected during the '80-s and '90-s. After the purchase the watches were stored until now and never worn.
After 20-35 years both plastic and leather bands may have dried out and become too fragile to wear. Wearing them is at your own risk as we can not guarantee how long the watch or band will last when you put it on your wrist. There is no warranty on this Swatch from 2002 and we do not offer returns.
