@gm3sf I think you need to get a grip of yourself and put this whole thing into some kind of perspective.
We get that you're angry at the experience your sister had but it seems that the only persons at fault here are the store management - not even Swatch and certainly not Omega. (the design and marketing strategy would have been agreed sometime ago at a Swatch 'mothership' level to dovetail into all of their watch brands marketing strategies)
There was an intentional limited supply to garner interest and the store made the mistake of advising those in the queue that folks up to a certain point would get a watch - but got the calculation wrong.
I'm pretty sure misguided store management doesn't count as a corporate hanging offence.....
Better luck getting a Snoopy Swatch when they restock the stores.
