The 1987 X-Rated Swatch is perhaps the most crucial item any edgeman can own. It looks good with any outfit, whether it be camo cargo pants and a Wolfpack NYC tee, or a fred perry with a polo (you know, your casual day work gear). It’ll always get stares, and more often than naught, someone will ask if it’s an X-Men watch. If they are a geek, they may ask if it is an X-Files watch. But without a doubt, it’s an amazing item.
Now this one is a little beat up. See the back? That’s an issue. The metal disc that holds the battery in place slides into a groove on the back. But you see where it’s chipped away in two places? That means the metal disc won’t stay in place. It’ll probably fall out a lot (once you buy one, of course). You can press your luck as one of the groove holders appears to be in great shape. Or you could just scoop for a deal and get some tape. Both could work. Of course, the seller doesn’t know if the watch will actually run so it’s a gamble all around.
