The guy at the watch repair shop said they were all glued toughener and machine assembled in such a way that they couldn't really be repaired, so I find it really odd that people would pay 1-2k for one.

They’re definitely glued together... and people paying that much for a swatch... well let’s just say most swatches don’t sell for that. There are a select few that are collectible for some reason - but for he most part can be had between $20 and $250. And I’d stack most of th $250 ones up against any other watch in that price range.
