People identify with their purchases, and sometimes a little too much, as is evident in these threads.

I saw a post on another forum where someone said they would think less of anyone who bought one of these.

It's just a watch, people...

 

I thought they were limited edition, ok fair enough, agree on scalpers.

 

I think it's a fantastic idea. My daily driver is my SMP, but if I go travel, or just want a decent looking watch w/ Omega branding, I'll be picking up a Moon version of this. Throw a Nato strap on, and it will look like another speedmaster yet if it get stolen, or I destroy it I'm out 260 bucks. Great for travel, and with that Quartz movement, it will keep time better than many automatics until the battery dies. Blasphemy I know, but this introduces folks to the brand and way better than a store like Rolex where you can't even buy something.

 

The Uranus will be the best seller because…well, yeah- I’m 12 years old,

 

Oh I am interested in it’s composition. I honestly did think it was some type of plastic with a different name on it. So ceramic and castor oil kind of cool. When you look at all the damage plastic has done the the ocean etc. and realize it’s only been around since the 50’s (roughly I don’t know the exact date if anyone feels the need to be precise please go ahead) so I’m not going off on a environmental schpiel here but here but I like this even more. I have a feeling I won’t be getting one unless they become available online (by that I mean direct not the flippers of course) but has this material been used for bezels or something in the past? Guess I’ll google it since I know have a bunch of unexpected free time.

 

They neither interest nor upset me.

 

I suppose people previously buying fake Onega’s can buy a moon swatch

 

Oh-my-god….

 

Are these watches a sealed unit and not serviceable?

 

Yep. Not limited. And later on, also available online. If Mr Hayek tells me that during the meeting, I assume he knows

 

NO, you wouldn't lol.

 

I think that's the concept of Swatch...

 

I hope they bring this model to the online store, I'd love to have some color change up at work!

 

These will sell like wildfire and they will certainly get into the hands of those who can’t afford the real deal.

The Mission to Saturn is the most interesting looking piece IMO and makes me wish they had gotten more campy with the dials, then I would’ve been a customer. Maybe a “deep space” dial or the inside of a shuttle, or a UFO.

 

I've had Swatch watches serviced and regulated in the past. I can't say definitively that the watch back can't be removed, but I would be surprised if it could not.
