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.

 

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...

 

The watch is $260. Wtf is he complaining about? I'm surprised he didn't complain about there be no hand finishing or some other stupid thing for a plastic quartz watch.

 

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

 

Very well said.

 

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

 

Rumor has it they’ve just quietly discontinued Neptune…

 

But we still have Uranus!

 

Given the pricing differential, I’d assumed that rumor is out there

Time to put it in storage (take the battery out!), and one day make hundreds of dollars!

 

LOL well played

 

Based in Switzerland and 6 times unlucky…
Any advise for Zürich or Luzern?

 

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

 

Thx, also around the corner... may I also visit the omega Museum

 

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.

 

Make sure to check Uranus, too.

 

You should never neglect Uranus.
