So, as I said yesterday, taking an old Swatch into a Swatch shop for some TLC leaves you standing in the middle of Swatch Wonderland. Now, I have quite a narrow wrist and would regard 39-40mm the max for me. I tried this on out of curiosity and it ended up being the fun weekend watch that wears me...

Edit: Surprisingly, Swatch do Automatics and this is one of their Sistim 51 automatic range.
 
Nice looking watch. Reminded me that Swatch and Mercedes back in the late 90's collaborated on a city car for Europe - and named it - smart (swatch mercedes art) - all lower case.

This time playing with the cheap vintage 400mm that did the aggressive repair to, and checking color. Not wanting to do film, figured out how to set up on Sony. Back in the day, the lens was designed for easy transition between camera brands with a "T" adapter and I have the original Pentax screw mount, Canon FD, and Nikon F as I mated it with the three brands of film cameras I owned. For B&W used the Canon FD, so replaced it with the Nikon F and had a Nikon to Sony FE adapter to mount on the Sony. Overall, happy with short range, but focus issues intermediate and long range. On all, vignetting in corners that can easily crop out. Color? balance OK, but some purple/red fringing on some contrast levels to correct.
Next 3 days will be short range.
