Back in Australia from my 3 week Japan holiday, here are some more photos of that Pokemon watch I found (more details in the Original post here)

I wasnt happy with the photo quality in the original post, so here are some better ones:

Photo 2

Photo 3

Just a note, I pulled the watch crown out in these photos, its not typically that far out.

I could probably never afford that.

Worked out to be about $200USD

Damn that's not too bad at all. Did they make a Charmander or Charizard version?

[-] DemSpud@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

In this style I believe they made 2 Pikachu versions, 1 Mewtwo version, 1 Eevee version.

They did however make SBPY159 which was a Charizard in a different design. All of them are limited editions but I think the SBPY159 is particularly rare with only 700 of them made. This Pikachu one that I found is one of 1200 I believe. All were only for the Japan market and weren't exported though.

More info on the part of the set I found here

Made the change, cheers!

This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I came across a tennis-themes Timex Snoopy. I was seriously looking into it, but the Marlin base was crap quality according to reviews. So sad.

I’m putting myself in your shoes, like do I need it? No. But it’s neat! Bonus points to Seiko for the watch box looking like a Poke ball. Really cool purchase.

That's great! It looks nice and not over the top themed at all. I'd wear that!
