Posted: Wed May 09, 2012 8:23 pm hard to believe - the dial remains white (i mean the letters on the dial), and also the code A84 is not usual for High Tech, i had a few but never seen this code before... anyway, i'll trust your expertise... thank you

Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 12:46 am I believe Rob is correct, your hands have just become faded. The watch is 27 yrs. old. I've seen this before on other Swatches. The white on the dial maybe just a diff. type material. The A84 is for Oct. 1984 the correct year for the High Tech.

Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:24 am well, that's a real weird one: from the bottom of my wisdom, i think that should be an Oxford Navy... But what about the black case and the yellow hands?code on the back 5121...

Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 9:27 pm Also your hands have been yellowed by sunlight... The case is probably dark blue, but very dark blue. That is the way it is supposed to be...

again - you're right... the case is dark blue, in the daylight it seems black, but at fluorescent light i can see is dark blue... anyway, i'll keep searching my collection to find any other interesting sun-light yellowed watches, perhaps i'll release a new Swatch category... best regards dorel A Smith & Wesson beats four aces!

Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:11 pm I see it has a plastic peeloff cover to protect the dial. I think I'd rather have a Swatch Guard Too on there instead of that than seeing all those bubbles, but that's your call.

good point... thank you...but as i was always saying, i'm not a collector, i'll list the sun over-burned thing on eBay right now, so i'll offer the guard-too as a gift for the next owner... anyway, thank you for the tip... i will apply this to my "dream-team" babies A Smith & Wesson beats four aces!
