    Hi, I live in France, my local Swatch shop sent me this e-mail "That said, we remind you that this collection will remain available for the next few weeks and that it is not a limited edition. We are doing everything we can to satisfy the huge demand and we look forward to seeing you very soon in our participating Swatch stores." Also, they will eventually be available online too

    Just looking on ebay and there's one currently for £1500 with two days left, what people fail to realise is that they'll be available online soon and they aren't a limited edition either. And worse is you can buy a used speedy for not much more. Proper madness.

    So I just watched a video of a guy who went to the king of Prussia mall in pa, they got there about 11:30 pm and his video shows the flyer from their store stating that they will only have about 50 of watches, and it was a limit of one per person. They left since there were over 100 people in line already figuring they wouldn’t get one. I never expected this to be so crazy, maybe I’ll get one eventually, but it’s something I want - not need.

    • @cuckooforwatches382

    Well chosen preferences! Moon or Mercury for classic look. Mars for look and historic link. Uranus for great look!.. I’m ok with Sun - but the only ones I wouldn’t buy at RRP are Saturn (poo brown) and Venus (love the pink - but annoyed at the “feminine” details that just don’t have the right vibe - like maybe they are slightly talking down to women in that design..)

    • @cuckooforwatches382
      @cuckooforwatches382  Před 2 lety

      Thanks! I agree about the "feminine" details on the Venus...If it was just simply Pink without those markings it would be a stronger design.

    I’ve tried to call two stores about 75 miles from me, according to their website states that they will have them, no one answers the phone. Not greedy I only want one, probably the Saturn or the mercury one, I want to know the store has it if I go that way. Make a day trip of it, take the wife out to eat, etc. I think these will probably go around $500 on the secondary market. I wanted to go get one today, it’s not happening. I didn’t expect the stores to be crazy since not everyone does the watch thing, but like I said they don’t even answer the phone, maybe I was wrong.

    Hi, the Omega Speedmaster Pro is my grail watch and I hope to buy a sapphire sandwich 3861 in about 5+ years.
    I was excited when they released this MoonSwatch as I thought that it would scratch my itch until I got my grail. However, this mad rush for these watches made me think of the Bulova Lunar Pilot. For a small amount more I can get a better watch. I did that and have ordered a Lunar Pilot, what do you think of my choice?

    • @cuckooforwatches382
      @cuckooforwatches382  Před 2 lety +1

      They are cheap plastic copies with quartz movements but they look fantastic. The marketing is genius because the only input from Omega is permission to use the brand name. They are real Speedmasters, not copies or fakes, and it is brilliant for millions more people, even kids, to be able to wear a Speedmaster. But they are plastic, cheap and should never be worth more than $260.
