This must be a real rarity with all the Swiss quality controls that were in place!

I bought a bunch of junk watches to fool around with.  In the collection was a 27 year old Swatch watch which looked pristine.  The damage was a battery leak.

I "sand papered" the contacts and voila!  The second hand started ticking when the battery was replaced; then I noticed a tiny hair, probably an eye brow/lash stuck on the dial!  Probably got in just before the crystal was inserted and welded in place.

My Swatch watch now contains DNA from Swiss national 27 years ago!  Does YOUR watch have this unique feature 😀
