    New Swatch Chrono

    I was in Paris a few weeks ago, walking along the Champs-Elysees when my 'watch radar' started going off.

    Lo and behold there was a Swatch store. Of course I stopped in to check things out and wound up leaving with this nice, affordable, Swiss Made chrono.

    It's part of the Irony Collection and is called the 'Get Fly' flyback chrono.

    Nice watch for the price. Nice and large at 47mm and sits well on the wrist. Quartz of course, but it is an ETA movement.

    Just thought I'd share with the group.

    Nice pickup. I've never seen a Swatch store. I'll keep an eye out for one on my next Vegas trip (If there's going to be one in the southwest US, it'll be in Vegas). I really dig Swatch's Irony series.

    edit: just checked their store locator. There's one in Caesar's Palace.

    Hey Matt, I was there too about a month ago. Only walked up the right side towards the Arc but saw a couple of really nice watch stores. One had several of the Zenith Defy Extreme. Very cool. Another store had a twin rounded staircase with two levels of stuff. Lots of eye candy.

    Nice score by the way. I want to check out some "Ingersol" watches.

    There was a Swatch ...... in Orlando,FL when I visited last year. Swatch makes some good looking watches at reasonable prices. Congrats on the new pickup.
