The 90s were a strange time. A strange time that ruined many, many cool things. For example: the legend that the Project X lp would be called “The Edge Of Quarrel”? Forever made uncool by the creation of a home made, cheesy, “Straight Edgers vs Punks” movie that used the title. And now I see that the movie ruined something else: an actual X Swatch…
The seller says he thinks this was most likely smashed to s#!t during filming. Which makes sense to me, since according to the description it was passed around the cast like a joint at a Murphy’s Law show in 1986.
He seems pretty certain that this is un-repairable outside of paying a watchmaker to basically do it from scratch, and his idea is that someone will buy this as movie memorabilia… yeah. If it was me, I’d take my watchmaker money, go for sach5’s X-Rated instead, and just get an actual Swatch strap for it.
the best part of this is that its probably being stored in that Crown Royal bag.
I came to post that exact same thing.
although cheesy, edge of quarrel is a nwhc staple. ive seen it at least ten times(I recommend watching with dave larson and greg bennicks commentary).
I once saw rocky votolato play a show and at the end i yelled his final line from edge of quarrel “Fuck the kids!” and he looked me dead in the eye and said it back to me smiling. a great moment for the edge!
