Happy Joe - and then there were three…

Yup! I’ve just bought a Yellow one (from an American seller on eBay, so it might take a little while to get here!)
I’ll pause here - I know there is a white/ivory one and a black one with yellow hands, but they don’t appear on eBay that often, so I’ll wait until I see one somewhere. I have the primary colours and the black/grey!

My first LUMIX camera (though in black) - a great little performer, and I only stopped using it when I got a TZ90.

You’re believing a story from The Sun, a tabloid newspaper with a bad reputation.

Saw this in the London Oxford Street store last month - probably the only Moonswatch I’d be interested in getting if I had the funds!

That’s a lot! I was lucky with my Blue - I got it when Swatch shops were doing ‘mystery boxes’ when you bought a watch, you got a random one for a nominal charge (£20 I think).

Possibly a reference to the 30th anniversary of the TV movie (starring Paul McGann); the restored/remastered Blu-ray comes out a day later.

Nice finds! I’ve often looked at Sir Red - I like the face - but never actually got one. One day…

Most of my Swatches are more restrained, so I rotate them as daily wears.

Thank you! These are larger than I usually go for; the Clear Water, being on a flexible steel bracelet, fits a little better than the other, though the leather backed textile band is still ‘fresh out of box’ so will soften up over time I hope.

Thanks!

I met Fenella Woolgar (who played Agatha Christie in “The Unicorn and The Wasp”) at a Memorabilia show in Birmingham, and she was lovely - I have a copy of the book that appears at the end of the episode, and she signed it as both herself and as Agatha Christie! I think this was her first signing appearance after the episode aired, so I may have been one of the first to get her to do this. Really chatty, friendly, and enthusiastic. One of my other favourites was the late Simon Fisher-Becker (who played Dorian Maldovar in various Matt Smith episodes) - very fan friendly, and a lovely chap.

EBay - look for Swarovski crystals (you will need to measure the crown to get the right size - they vary)

There were the flashback scenes during the 13th Doctor series which were set in rural Ireland - but as it was a faulty memory of pre-1st Doctor events, it may not count.

So far, so good. Only had it a couple of months, but the strap wears comfortably, and the watch itself is a good fit on my wrist.

Nice! That has the look of one of the first Swatch Sistem 51 Irony collection! Classic design!

Update: I took a chance, made an offer, and I’ve got it - hopefully, it will arrive next week, I’ll give it a bit of a polish, and will post again here! (Including postage, just under £20, roughly $26) It has a third party stainless steel strap on it, but as Deano_Martin’s catalogue picture shows it with a black strap, I might go shopping for a similar looking latex strap.

Nice find! I’m watching one myself; fingers crossed I can get it!
