I also have a Saturn. Got it on a brown nato strap which really suits it.

Got a photo? The original strap is probably the least nice part of the watch so I would also be keen to swap it for something more comfortable.

[alps028]

Thanks. Looks less bulky than the standard strap. Will check it out.

Saturn is the same colour your skin. That's interesting.

I will buy one, but not waiting 4 hours in queue. Will wait until next year, I like the mars or Pluto.

In fairness, the way it’s going, you might be able to get get one for list on eBay pretty soon.

Off all of them, that’s probably my favourite. But living miles from any of the stores the chance of me getting one this year is zero I’d imagine.

No one is going to flip a new one for list on eBay - to not lose money on them after listing fees, final value fees, PayPal fees etc... itll need to be at least £60+ over list.

A used one, maybe.

Replicas are now out, you'll be seeing them on eBay very soon described as genuine without a box/papers etc.

Happened to be in Central London yesterday so I thought I’d pop in to the Oxford Street Swatch store. They had a cabinet with them on display, but no stock of any of them.

Given you can’t buy online and only from the physical shops - but when you can’t even do that, that’s not a game I’m prepared to play.

To be honest, it’s probably worth £200, but they don’t look fantastic in the ‘plasticeramic’.

In the words of the dragons, I’m out.

This has been a pr and marketing masterstroke to create such manic demand for something that when I finally saw them in the flesh I was underwhelmed

£70 delivered June 11th for a cheap plastic knockoff of a cheap plastic knockON

A homage there

[sandman77]

£28 here.

[raceboy]

At that price for a Mars I'd be jumping in the pool on holiday not worrying about the water resistance, unfortunately AliExpress looks an absolute nightmare to navigate and some of the other monstrosities on their have blinded me....

[sandman77]

I’m tempted to order just see the quality of these fakes.

I mean they cannot be that far off I wouldn’t have thought.

I doubt Swatch grow their own bio-ceramic cases in Switzerland, and the movement parts are probably not made far from the same factories producing the fakes - maybe just assembled slightly further away.

[gregs656]

The fakes suck all the fun out of it IMO. I mean, how tragic is it to buy a fake swatch?
