Turquoise Bay by SWATCH!

I recall how this particular SWATCH watch was my first Swatch ever.  I bought it at Parks-Belk in Bristol, VA.  I truly fell in love with this watch.  At the time they cost only $25 or $35.  I don't recall which. 

For years, I'd been wanting to find another one.  I looked , looked, and looked only finding 4.  They were so expensive now that style is a "collector's item" and sells for around $1,500.00 in a new/never worn/unopened package condition.  I was fortunate enough in 2002 for my birthday to win one new, never used, unopened and in its original case on eBay.  I got it for $125.00.  To this day, I take pride and joy in owning it.  I've never worn it.
