While we wait for the big reveal, I'd like to offer a mod to the excellent render provided by Longbow:


My sense is that when we mention the Lunar Explorer in the subdial we're not talking about the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), a machine, but the actual lunar explorerer, a man.

I'd also hope that for $9K+ the medallion on the back would be gold too...
I think LEM on sub dial and footprint on rear 馃榾

I think they might wait for midnight GMT before lifting the embargo or perhaps midnight CEST (Zurich is 23:25pm as I post). Seems a bit silly as their main market is China and it is already 5:25am Tuesday 14th May in Shanghai..

Let's all get prepared for the deluge of Swatch releases and let's all attempt to avoid multiple threads on the same watch release馃榾

Time to Move is an in-person event beginning in the morning. All the media outlets and bloggers are there etc so I'd bet the first impressions / announcements will start between 9am-12pm CET - so those of us in the US will have to wait until early tomorrow morning (or get up in the middle of the night)

The Apollo 11 will be officially revealed on Friday. Though I imagine it will leak before then...

From Fratello's instagram, it looks like Robert-Jan will be at OMEGA from 9:00 (so, like, now) to noon today to see all of the new releases, so we should be seeing stuff within the next few hours, I'm assuming/hoping...

Not in pain at the moment mate it takes days for that to take effect I want a stat dose or something quick release. Il take a dose of this man on the phackaroonie moon for now! Houston said everything is okay which is a good news.

Seems like others here were right and that there's an embargo on everything until Friday. This is a masterclass on how not to release a watch -- tease it weeks ahead of time and build-up excitement, then go radio silent and make everyone wait a week, likely killing a lot of the hype and leaving customers frustrated.
