The Tresor Magique is the first limited and numbered
edition Swatch Automatic in the market. This special Swatch has one difference. It comes
in a case of solid Platinum. The original price of $1618 was set in the floor of
Mercantile Exchange on October 4, 1993.
Following is my true story in finding the Tresor
Magique. The frist step I did was to put a message in newsgroup of soc.culture.singapore
and soc.culture.indonesia. Many returned my message but following is the closest deal that
I almost made. (blue color is email from mr. X, while mine is black color).

Jerry,
you're quite a persistent fellow .. and really to "get rid of
you" I am prepared to accept USD 4500 for SWATCH Platinum plus CINEMA Trilogy
(3-in-a-Can) .. if you're interested let me know . my SWATCH is lying in a Safe-Box .. and
I'm not a dealer .. therefore, I cannot accept Credit Cards .. you will need to pay me in
Singapore Dollars (Cash) ..for ease of computation I USD = S$ 1.40 ..
Cheers X
X, I'll be in Singapore this Monday or Tuesday, I will stay at the
Mandarin. Where can I meet you? Thanks
Well That's the story, so when I arrived at Singapore I found one
store that is willing to sell me the Tresor Magique for "of course" less than
what Mr. X wants to sell the watch for me.
Whatever the result, I become a good friend of Mr. X.
