Good news / bad news. Good news: I haven't seen a single Swatch AP from China. Bad news: China doesn't think it's worth counterfeiting. 😉

Oh, Reginald, I disagree!

Sort by cheapest and I'm certain the top 6 rows of sold from China and HK are legit.....esp the quartz one that'll be dropped shipped (maybe) from the US.

I posit the knockoff makers are sweating about the same as the flippers.

Well, that little bubble lasted for about the attention span of the core consumer.

Anyone have any luck in the US going to a Swatch store recently and not having to deal with any lines? Specifically in the SoCal area.

So, I think these are fun watches when mounted in a wrist watch case and I've been swinging by the various Swatch stores about once a month.

Hit pay dirt tonight and got "the red one" which would look great on a black or stainless bracelet.

*Edit,I'm an idiot it seems. The movement winds counter clockwise and I've never encountered that across all the watches I've had and wound.

BUT the more I look at it, the more I realize its not the colourway I want and it'll just sit.

They are cool for what they are, influencer accessories. Overpriced plastic Swatches. The MoonSwatch ones were cool when they were first released and people were lined up out the door. Secondary market is going to do what it does. Most of the people in line were looking to make a quick buck flipping them.
