I expected more from Swatch. Previous release was quite bald, but this new release is more like a`la Rolex move - subtle change and milking the cow.
I expected more from " the Flippers " as currently only US $ 3990.00 is being asked at chrono24 & eBay for a moonSwatch Neptune, so a moonshine should at least have the double of that "asking price"
C24 is bs. By the way, some time ago I took a walk around a city of switzerland and I saw a dealer that was trying to sell in his shop different moonswatch with overprice. Those moonswatch can be easily bought in a swatch store.
A friend of mine has one of those. He paid £1k for it. I thought he was completely nuts until he pointed out it is platinum and does have a collector following. Actually I still think he’s nuts.
If half the things said about this guy are true, I'm sure there will be a line-up to accommodate his request. But the Moonswatch whiners should just man up and do it themselves...
Just curious...can the moonswatch hands work on a speedy? I. e., can a watchmaker place the moonshine chronometer hand on an actual moonwatch? I know the quality is on another planet, I just wonder if this is technically possible.
Have just seen that this will be on sale again on 6 April at various locations across the Globe, notably Manchester if you happen to be in the UK.
I'm so jaded with how they back tracked selling the Mission SWatches online, then I saw the price... Cute a gold hand. I'll save my pennies and get a real one, eventually.
I have one on the way. Not a gold shine or whatever it’s called I think it’s the mission to Jupiter. A member here took a vacation and offered to pick one up for me if he ran into one at the swatch store in the country he was going to. I appreciated the offer, I was hoping to get a dark one but whatever. I want to check it out but I’m not waiting in line or running to a different state or hoping swatch does a “pop up store” a hundred miles away. So hopefully it will arrive here soon. I’m hearing they are cool and may put omega out of business. Can I change the battery or are they a use and dispose type of thing. Nah can’t be that would nullify the whole “bioceramic” green thing and just be adding waste.
Eventually they’ll run out of moons. But I’m sure they’ll find something. If they come out with a Mission to Moonshine Gold Super Bloodmoon I’m in.
You're forgetting all the other moons in the solar system. Mission to Europa, Mission to Io, Mission to Enceladus, Mission to Titan, Mission to Charon... Easily another 250+ moons out there.
