And why has this thread not been moved to the Swatch subform ?

Ah yes, this thread is sullying the “real” Omega talk and an injury to the eyes of “real” Omega owners (who willingly clicked on it) — banish it!

I would guess that the site admins either haven’t found it necessary or paid much attention to the thread.

Having skimmed more of the article this morning I’m disappointed to see them walking back the online sales. I live in Vermont, the only way I’ll pick one of these up is if I find a friend willing to keep going into stores to find one for me. If these were fully stocked all the time than maybe it would be worth a trip to a store but I’m certainly not taking a trip to NYC in hopes of maybe getting one.

Given that this article is as much about Swatch Group (and so Omega) as it is the MoonSwatch, I’d guess that the mods are instead volunteering inordinate time here doing more important things.

I'm in Vermont quite often, and NYC about twice a week. If you tell me what model you are interested in, I'd be happy to pop into the boutique. My service fee is a few Vermont craft brews.

I was in Las Vegas about a month ago and got lucky in that I stopped in the swatch boutique in New York New York and they had just received a shipment of moonswatches a few minutes prior. My wife and I both ended up buying one (I got Earth and she got Venus). We had to do it in separate transactions, not use the same credit card and give the store our ID’s so they could put us in the Swatch system as purchasing one. They told us Swatch has strict rules that nobody is allowed to purchase more than one… ever. I thought this was crazy but the store manager insisted this is what Swatch is doing to minimize the scalpers.
