·A thing that didn’t exist in any of our minds just a couple of weeks ago, suddenly becomes a thing that can’t be lived without? I do hope we’re not like that. I’m wagering that the bean counters have switched the Swatch-bots back on. ☕
They’re not numbered so they can make and sell as many as they want or can.
Leaving them as a store-only purchase would demonstrate a level of stupidity rarely if ever seen with the Swiss . . .

·I haven’t seen anything to validate or justify such a suggestion, but then again, I wasn’t the one to say:
“And if the (sic) dont (sic) get all 11, you speedy guys can paint your now worthless watches yellow and sell them with a profit. Ka-ching for you!
Then you can buy yourselves a real Omega ie. a Seamaster, that people wont (sic) confuse with a moonswach (sic).”
You might want to take it up with the guy who actually said it.

·You obviously aren't familiar with Swatches sales methods over the past 40 years.
By the way, during the Swatch hey-day many years ago, I don’t recall their products ever being the subject of such coverage either in the legitimate media or on the internet. Today’s roll-out was an international event and, again, they’d be foolish if they didn’t capture that lightning in a bottle . . .

·Well, if today’s crowds aren’t enough to convince Swatch Group to offer the MoonSwatch range on-line (assuming they hadn’t already), I don’t know what would. It’s not as if the Swiss are shy about making a buck if the opportunity arises.
you assume the goal is selling the maximum numbers of this watch
it really isn’t

We will have to wait and see if Swatch capitalizes on this, my prediction is they won't. They made X number of these watches, and when they are gone they are gone.

·So. Some eBay listings are closing for more than I paid for my FOIS. Which, btw is just a fake swatch at this point. 😉

·I guess one potential positive if “Tiffany Blue” can be re nicknamed “Uranus Blue” then that’s a win for everyone….
I like your Uranus dial OP 😉

·If their goal isn’t selling watches, what pray-tell might it be?
I didn’t say their goal isn’t to sell watches, I said their goal isn’t to sell the maximum number of these hype O+S collaboration watches
Nike’s hype shoes also aren’t “limited edition” but are purposefully made in very limited numbers such that by design only a fraction of people who want them actually get them (at MSRP)
it’s basically Modern Apparel Marketing 101
