Back to the Future

thanks for the heads-up.

I updated my post and was curious if you had an idea of how to make it "white"?

or is it cream?

I couldn't find a white one, but found several cream ones, so got that, thinking it was sufficient.

either way, cream or white, they are virtually identical without a solid study or in bright light.

These watches are 40 years old and are simply yellowed, even the ones being sold as unused. If you ever owned a white or transparent Swatch watch back in the day, you would have noticed yourself that these things yellow over the years. That's why I'm sure Jennifer's watch was pure white back then.

Of course, you can try to restore the white color, but it's like fighting a losing battle. The watch will yellow again over time.

Your watch is probably a lot less yellow than this so it won't require too much time.

thanks. yes, many things I have from my childhood that were white are now yellow (for the longest time I attributed that to smokers), but we didn't smoke.

the watch is pretty damn close to white.

I might purchase a second watch and try something out to whiten it (and not ruin the one I have now that looks decent.)

thanks again!

Anyone got a good picture of both Madrid stickers? I wanna recreate them. I don't think anyone has yet.

Probably just gonna do it based on these but replace both fonts with the slightly fatter font.

Also did this. The original Guess tag that would've been on the back of the jeans when they were brand new.

I actually have high quality scans of them all, I’ve been collecting these stickers for years; both genuine Madrid Vintage and Reissue versions of each.

I have recently replicated the circular stamp sticker directly from a genuine vintage sample, as well as these Coper stickers as the correct ones were definitely the most difficult to find of all! So I had them scanned in high definition and reprinted professionally.
