I had 2 of the originals bought in 1982. Wish I had kept then because they're worth a ton now.

Yep if you've "only" spent about $5000 or under on your watch, Swatch probably made it. Or at least the movement. Throw another zero in the price and you've gotten past swatch.

Swatch makes the some of the most popular automatic movements in the world. Their ETA movement are used in several high end watches. You can buy these movements for a little over a $100 but they are used in watches costing $1000's.

I clung to Z-Cavarichis for about 6 months past it being ok to wear them.

Had TWO Members Only jackets.

Had one Coca-Cola sweatshirt.
