Rescapement Is Now Unpolished Watches

In January 2025, Rescapement relaunched as Unpolished Watches, the newsletter for watch collectors and insiders. It’s a 2x/week email to stay up to date on what’s really happening. Named one of the best single operator newsletters on the internet.

Someone is selling a collection of 200+ Swatches on Reddit

May 19, 2020

Sometimes, the internet amazes you.

That certainly happened to me this morning, when I went through my morning ritual of checking eBay, the forums, etc. to see if anything exciting happened overnight. Usually, I drown my disappointment of another morning went without a barn find in a hot cup of coffee. But not this morning.

Because a guy is selling a collection of over 200 Swatches over on the r/watchexchange subreddit. Honestly, Swatch Group should step in and buy the whole collection for the $6,000 listed by the seller — the collection is a museum of unworn Swatches from years past. Some collectible, some not, all extremely cool.

What’s more, the seller took the time to take a photo of each individual Swatch and post it in an Imgur album.

If you’re at all interested in historic Swatches, head over to Reddit now and have your pick from this massive collection. The seller says he’s slowly wading through requests, so be patient and don’t be a dick.
