Any Swatch Watch Experts

[myfrugalboutique]

Sorry to bother, but I have searched everywhere to determine what swatch watch this is. I cannot read the code on the back or I wouldn’t ask. Thanks

This looks like your watch, different color.

Not that is not it. Pretty though. Let me see if I can get a better picture.  Here is a bigger one. I have these as they  were my kids, and I am cleaning them out.

Can you remove the back? There may be a movement number you can trace.

Hmmm, it almost looks like you have a jelly fish watch with a sea floor band.

 OK now the sea floor band

 this is the same band that your watch has. The scuba sea floor series 90s had several different ones that belonged to that particular series.

    You know you can reach and contact Swatch on their website also.

I think the movements in those watches were pretty bog-standard, but the copyright date on the back of the case can be helpful in narrowing down the style to the year of issue. There's a website (which of course I can't find at this moment) that I used to use back in the day, to determine the design name and year of issue when I was selling Swatches here.

One other thought, @myfrugalboutique : That looks like an accessory crown protector on your watch (the blue ring around the dial) that might be covering up some key details around the edge. If you can remove it, post photos of the watch with and without the protector installed, so that prospective buyers can see clearly which model it is.

That is interesting, as I do remember buying these when they came out, interesting. That does look like the band.

I will do that tomorrow. However the identifier is on the back and these eyes, even with a magnifying glass , cannot read it. Thanks.

If you have a scanner, try scanning the back in high resolution, which could help reading the identifying number.

Also, the camera on your smartphone can act as a really good magnifier. Pinch-zoom to enlarge the view... or photograph it first, and then pinch-zoom in on the image you just photographed.
