Swatch Body & Soul - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

This Swatch Body and soul from the irony collection was my first mechanical watch. A truly beautiful birthday present that was given to me at the time and which allows me to discover watchmaking mechanics. It has the classic advantages and disadvantages of Swatches. On the positive side, we note an affordable price for a watch that we will therefore not hesitate to wear in all circumstances (except in water because it is not very waterproof: 3 bar). Its diameter of just under 38mm is perfect for a go-anywhere watch. As for the small criticisms, inherent to the brand, I regret that it is impossible to repair it. The mechanism still works just as well after about fifteen years. On the other hand, the case back has not appreciated aging (photo in support). I had tried to contact Swatch who still sent the watch to the workshop without being able to change the part. For a few years now I have worn this watch very little and here I am coming across two bracelets that I had bought and that I had the pleasure of fitting in addition to its original steel bracelet.
