I feel it’ll start off limited or a limited supply. Build up the hype train then flood the market.

And all of those dipsticks are going to be reselling the plastic cased quartz watches to idiots for triple retail…This has PS5 / Series X vibes all over it…Not limited in production, but people will find a way to buy out entire allotments every time they become available…If Swatch Group won’t make these limited the aftermarket sure as hell will…

This is wild. There's one on ebay with 60 some bids for $5100.
At that point why not pay a few extra and get the real thing

The videos of Europe and Asia were wild, several releases were postponed. U.S. release was manageable. Heard the King of Prussia, PA was the worst. My friend got one at WTC, camped since Midnight lol

Hype is too wild. will wait for online or a restock. What were thinking with initially allowing 2 per person with suck a low stock

Yeah I’ll wait until they’re easily accessible and maybe grab on or two, but I have a real speedy so not stressing it.Hype is too wild. will wait for online or a restock. What were thinking with initially allowing 2 per person with suck a low stock

swatch announced on instagram that they were gon limit it to 1 per customer but obviously the store didnt get the memo
its either they didnt know the hype its gon bring or they intentionally limited it build hype, im gon go with the second scenario because they should be easy to make being plastic with a quartz movement and all
it probably far exceeded their expectation but they knew what they were doing

Definitely going to let the dust settle and wait for online sales if they do it. If I miss, not even sweating it.

omega being under the swatch umbrella is really the only one capable of it, hell omega people didnt even want to do it but the swatch execs got to them
maybe other watches in the swatch group but with who? breguet? that will kill their image and might as well kill the brand plus they dont really have a design as iconic as the speedy
there really isnt many iconic watches out there that has a cheap sister company that can make them
richemont and lvmh are the other big companies but lvmh has tag, zenith, bulgari and hublot so thats not happening, even tags gon be in the thousands
richemont has cartier, panerai, jlc, montblanc, piaget, vc, etc… so none of those can produce watches in the hundreds
seiko kind of been in that lane
no way in hell rolex is going to do it, tudors gon be their cheapest alternative
AP, Patek, A Lange, VC, etc… not happening because they actually value their luxury image
i think swatch can just keep doing this like make a seamaster but if their goal is to keep losing omega sales and just ruin the brand image then go for it

They’ll end up flooding the market with these.
Reminds me of how limited and sold out the Timex was (definitely not on the same level with only online). Honestly have no idea why anyone would pay the resell prices on these.
