·Also, anyone with such high bids on an item on eBay, that is widely available elsewhere at market rates (e.g., StockX, Grailed, Etsy, etc.), is not expecting payment for shill bids.
What’s happening on March 26th then?

Well, this is more an illustration of the level of "expertise" these talking heads have, rather than anything to do with the watch...
So first, he acts like misaligned hands are something extremely surprising for a $260 watch. Meanwhile I see misaligned hands on watches costing many thousands of dollars on a regular basis, so is it surprising that a $260 watch can have misaligned hands? I would say not.
Secondly, being a quartz chronograph, the hands can be aligned to a degree by resetting the chronograph, and following the procedure in the manual to center them.
Second, he says that this isn't a "hexalite" crystal - assuming he means hesalite. He goes on to say that this is just an acrylic crystal. News flash - hesalite is just a brand name for acrylic!
The last complaint is that the ticking is loud. Uh, okay? That's the nature of a quartz watch.
Yet another blind leading the blind video...

I guess it is pretty good to acknowledge that the watch IS actually ticking 🤪

·I'm enjoying keeping up with the MoonSwatch here on the Forum, but I'm not feeling the love, for either the thing or the concept at all. Perhaps I just don't grasp the significance of the concept or the product, but it seems like a variation to the theme of Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes." A lot of ooo-ing and ahh-ing, but there's really nothing there. Well, there is a plastic imitation Speedmaster being sold for cheap.
Is this the Beanie Baby of the 2022 watch world?

·Seems like ages ago, but only 2 months from release thought I’d update current market rates (from StockX, a far better and reliable market than eBay data):
the Neptune data has been this outlier for some time now, and it makes me wonder if perhaps Omega has simply stopped shipping them while still battling the dye seeping issue. Here’s the last handful of days data on Neptune, trading a few-ish times a day

·personally, I don’t think it rules it out; I just think the ‘maneuver’ of it all is telling and continues the trend
if their priority was to make these widely available, in store or otherwise, they could have accomplished that at launch itself - much less now weeks on
e.g., sending plenty of stock to all stores, or instead making available online - even if on a preorder production basis
🙁

·Try Biel, apparently they have usually two different versions available.

·King of Prussia finally getting semi-regular restocks — they had Pluto, Saturn, and Venus available earlier today. Apparently Moon and Mercury are the most requested and Neptune production is delayed (presumably to address color bleeding issues) so that won’t be in stock until end of summer/fall, allegedly.

·I've got a road trip coming up that takes me right through Philly. Might have to take detour and see these in-person.
