Omega x Swatch Collaboration

Here’s my £25 one which I’ll be giving away. Feels pretty much identical to the original. The sub dial on the right which actually works as a 24 hour hand is the only issue.

They’re a bit of fun, but strong money at retail price in my opinion. £129 or so feels about right for a Swatch with Omega on the dial.

link for that?

Good stock levels in Geneva



Earlier purchase mission to moon on wrist, sun and mars in the boxes. Still queues and 1 per customer per day

Bought a couple today at Battersea. Not much of a queue, but quite amusing watching the security dealing with the ‘investors’ trying to muscle in.

Now that I have 9 out of 11 I figured it was time to display them! Made by a chap in Hungary that others on a MoonSwatch forum had bought, I took a punt at €260 plus €45 shipping. Glad I did

Do you have a link for the case please?

[Soft Top]

It is from a chap call Szabo Petr in Hungary. He is linked in this post and I sent a message through Facebook Messenger:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/3488708031252800/p...

It was €305 delivered. If you can’t get to the link, (might need to join Facebook Moonswatch page), then let me know and I will see if I can send you his email address, (not that I have used such other than to pay via Paypal). Group is here:

Magic cheers buddy. I've got a mate who is trying to complete the set so I'm sure he'd love one of these

They are indeed. Only in Zürich; Milan; London and Tokyo this time.

That's the one I want to buy. Genuinely considering going down that route. I wouldn't normally do it, but Swatch have shown such contempt for their potentials customers that I couldn't give a fk any more.

Any issues buying from DHGate? Not come across them before.

If Swatch just made these watches available online as they originally promised then much of the demand for fake ones and scalping would go away.

Agreed. Plus they would probably have sold thousands more.

I'm inclined to agree. I'd have bought a few as gifts if it was easy online.

Nope. It’s huge. Like Ali Express but a smaller selection of counterfeit goods to choose from.

Me 3. I'd have bought a few. Based on the fact that I have a couple of Speedmasters, I can't be arsed with traipsing all the way to a store to find they only have ones left that I don't want.

If I could buy online, I'd buy the Mercury, Moon and the Pluto as gifts.

Also, surely selling online would be more 'in-keeping' with their push for sustainability??

Kick game website seem to have them all on? Has anybody used this website, I have been in there actual store in Newcastle its a high end trainer/ clothes store but unsure how they can have them all in stock to buy?

[toastybase]

Is anyone heading over to Royal Exchange today to catch a glimpse of the new one?

The Omega shop is tiny in that place and if it’s anything like the original ‘launch’ I wonder how they are going to police it all.

I can imagine people camping outside through the day, Fortnum and Masons cafe getting irate with ‘road men’ walking about pinching their expensive biscuits, Tiffany’s closing up early.

…or being a Tuesday with everyone working, it might be a little quieter?…finish work at 5.30, quiet pint then over to the shop..somehow I think not.

I have a feeling that they are probably advertising them and then buying one from StockX and dropshipping it as they are more expensive than going direct to StockX

I'm nowhere near town today anyway, but the pictures I'm seeing on instagram seem to be a Moon with a gold second hand! Obviously I have no idea if its accurate but that would be a serious anti-climax for those folks who are travelling/queuing!

The Canada Goose brigade won't care - the even more limited availability will make it evern more valuable on eBay at about 7.30pm tonight.

It is a moonshine gold chrono hand. Price is about £250.
