Just been watching an old episode of Antiques Roadshow on UKTV Bright Ideas (Telewest channel 263). One guy had brought along his Swatch collection and right in the middle was a Musicall. Though it wasn't picked out for comment by the expert they did give it a good close up.

I have still got my SWATCH musicall (blue one with sun & fish, in its box) from when I went to the Manchester Main Road concert during EIC in 1993. I ocasionally wear it from time to time.

Yes but I don't think they are antique just yet.

The shop I bought mine from in 1993 was recently selling another one on ebay for £25... that's less then mine cost 13 years ago! !

The expert on the roadshow said that Swatch watches had lost their appeal lately and weren't as collectable as they used to be. Though he did predict that given time they will make a come back and prices will start to rise.
