Seeing as it’s looking likely that bonafide MoonSwatches will now not be available online a fake is the nearest I can get to one. Not that I’d ever buy one, I’ll just wait a few weeks for the new solar/Bluetooth Casioak instead 😉

Reality it’s still a swatch with a quartz movement. What happened to our standards.

So it’s a fake version of a fake version of a real watch.

Its basically the synthetic CDO of the watch world.
It's all about getting the likes/followers/clout or whatever other cringey word people are using these days. In the past, I think the lower quality replicas kept people from wearing a replica out of fear of a knowledgeable watch enthusiast spotting the fake and judging them. Nowadays people can pay a few more hundred bucks for a high quality fake and never have to worry about outing themselves as wearing a replica, since even with a loupe or with the caseback off, it can very difficult even for a seasoned eye to determine what parts were incorrectly replicated. Scary stuff for people who like to buy 2nd hand and save a few bucks....or in the case of some models, spend more bucks, just to be able to own a hard to track down piece.

I'm more surprised about famous stars/rappers wearing fake watches and then being exposed - but I guess they don't walk into an AD to buy one themselves

My opinion fakes should not exist. But there is a huge market so they do exist. I believe the fake moonxswatch can be spotted with a loupe.

I’m pretty sure that unicorn is a fake - the horn shouldn’t go past the edge of the hair.

New white Snoopy is fake. Didn't take long at all. But you have to directly compare to a real one to tell. I got half my money back and kept it.

I could never wear a fake, even a Swatch at half price. With three real Speedmasters in your lineup (black, white, FOIS) who needs a fake plastic watch?

No sir, even when doing yard work I wear a real, full strength watch, no plastic junk will encircle my horological dedicated wrist!

Makes it so hard to create legitimate fantasy watches and mods. What really irks is these are being sold for way too much. It is one thing to create an art project. Preying on the weak and unwary is totally uncool. Might as well invest in cypto.
