Do you also have pictures of the boxes? Andrew.

Dear Dramf,

What I understood from the sales rep, is that they will come in the regular boxes. That is the one with the flappy lid and the foam.

RETROGRADE is not exclusive swatch also Tissot (Swatch group) has made in their collection a retrograde watch.

The swatch group made the movement not only for swatch watches. More brands are using this ETA movement (eta g15-261).

Good luck

Is it the same movement in the Swatch as in the Tissot and others?

The 30-second hand in the Swatch moves clockwise, in the others the markings are counter-clockwise.

Maybe I am seeing things, but I do not believe so.

All this swatches have a basic ETA movement eta g15-261

If you look on Google you find a lot of this watches (not only T-SPORT/PRS 516 RETROGRADE)

The official Release of the Retrograde watch is November 1st. So 8 more days of waiting...

Two of the four Retrograde models are already in stores here in Italy. Just the two with the metal bracelet. The ones with the leather strap will be released next week. I got the blue one for me and I like it very very much.

I have seen 2 of them in the Mégastore in Paris with the steel strap.
But no spécial présentation and no battery, so i didn't see it working

Do they realy want to show them, and sell them? :shock:

If you go to a store, especialy a Swatch-mégastore, is to see "in real" the watch!!!
