X Swatch Maxi

I know it's been a while since I posted, but I promise you, I haven't been sleeping till noon and drinking the nights away. My proof is below.



About 3 months ago someone listed an X Swatch Maxi on ebay and I nearly shit myself. They never made an X Swatch Maxi. I read the description very closely and realized that the person selling it, made it. He took a black Maxi, one that looked exactly like the X Swatch, and just added a custom face. The pictures looked great. I was really torn. I wanted this thing bad, but I thought there was just no way I would bid enough to win it. Usually when I want something, I win it. But this time I was like, "Eh what am I going to do drop 600 bucks on a clock!?" So I didn't bid. I just watched the seconds tick away. And imagine my embarrassment when the damn thing ended at less than $250. Wow was I pissed. So here I am 3 months later and for some reason I searched for X Swatch on ebay. I never do that. I don't really have any interest in owning an X Swatch. I don't wear watches. I guess it was fate though, cause when I searched for X Swatch that day another X Swatch Maxi popped up. I thought it was the same one being re-listed, but it wasn't. It was another one built by the person who built the original one I didn't bid on. Well I bid on this one. 275 bucks later I was putting this baby together and hanging it on my wall. The face looks great. No idea how he made it. And I'm not opening it to find out.
