Yup, swatches. The first one is an early 'blackout' model from the mid eighties, the third is a 'jellyfish', again a very early one, the middle is a more modern swatch. Strangely I bought them for the same reason I buy my bikes-because I wanted them as a kid but couldn't afford 'em!
i had 1 in the style of the cubism french dude painter bloke thing...blocks of various colours broken up by black strips........broke it on site shifting steel joists ...miss that watch a little come to think of it.
