Been discussing it with my son. An interesting collaboration, but if they're the only colours it's coming out in, no way.

I can imagine the "get it now" frenzy, and the following "flipper frenzy", and if it goes like Moonswatch I'd rather buy a Casio GW5000U.

Ok, apparently that is AI... but the Swatch website shows something is coming:

I was just reading about this here:
https://www.gearpatrol.com/watches/swatch-royal-oak-teaser/
I'm guessing the first picture is just click bait.
Suggestion is that the watch heads might 'pop' in and out of lanyards or clips for handbags rather than have a watch strap.

Let the hype and lineups outside the Swatch stores begin!

Actually, it's AI...

Sorry, that was me being unclear.
I meant the first picture in the Gear Patrol article, rather than your post. I don't think anything that specific has been 'teased' yet.

Seems like there's enough smoke here to infer a real fire. The font in the Swatch teaser, for example, clearly references AP.

I'm leaning toward this as well.
I doubt it will be a plastic Royal Oak on bracelet.

Ditch the second hand and pop in a Quartz movement. I can use a small desk clock.

Finally a possible purchase that saves you from daily ramen dinners .

The amount of people losing their minds over this and how it will reduce the value of their royal oak is bringing me immense joy. It was the same pearl clutching with the MoonSwatch but this time it’s an entirely different set of people throwing their toys out of the pram.

The necklace looks so bad it has to be AI / a fake.
