Swatch Random Ghost SUOK111 Watch Has 15,120 Possible Dials
Timepieces like the Random Ghost (ref. SUOK111) are examples of how Swatch made inexpensive timepieces cool in the 1980s, and how Swatch's artistic way of approaching wristwatches is still extremely relevant today. The Random Ghost is in the New Gent collection and is a totally transparent watch with a colorful, exposed quartz movement. The reason Swatch calls it the "Random Ghost" is because the pieces of the movement are colored and chosen at random when the watch is produced resulting in 15,120 possible color combinations.This effectively means that you'll be hard pressed to find two which are exactly the same, and most all Random Ghost watches are unique. The concept is simple, but quite satisfying as the watch's quartz guts are the most prominent feature on this totally skeletonized watch thanks to the clear plastic case. Visually interesting, this under $100 watch is arguably much more fun to wear than pieces costing many, many times as much.I got to play with a Random Ghost watc

questions on this watch
Hey guys,this is my first time posting here and i was thinking about purchasing this.any input.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=280463regards,Edwin

Panerai as a beater?
Not as bad as the title.Newbie looking at buying a first Panerai watch. The one I am looking at is a Luminor, am I correct in thinking all luminor models have the crown lock? I believe from what I have read this aids water resistance?There are a confusion of model types, but the one I am after will just have second hand and date. To get back to the thread I have a simple Seiko 5 at the moment I wear most of the time. I am after a 'better' watch I can wear for work with an enhanced presence, but not over the top.The qualities I am after is to wear the watch basically 24 / 7 , in the sea / pool on holiday, and golf / low energy sports etc. Would the Panerai live like this? Not really bothered about picking up the odd scratch, and also planning to have it on a stainless bracelet for water purposes. Any advice before making the purchase would be appreciated.Toby.

Local AD not shipping watch?
Hi all,Was hoping to get some opinions on this.I've been in the market for one of the hotter sport watches little over a month now. I called one a local AD who happened to have one that wasn't spoken for yet. I agreed over the phone that I would come in tomorrow to purchase the watch. However, I later asked if the watch could be shipped out of state and got an immediate no.Is it no longer allowed for AD's to send watches out of state, even when the purchase was done in store?Or is this associate telling me no because he think's he's doing me a favor by selling me this watch? (which I guess you can argue that he is doing me a favor)

Explorer II bezel - will the numerals fade or wear?
