March 23, 20223 yr The Cotton Bowl awarded Tudors for the first part of the ‘70s, but they ended up getting caught up in the initial digital excitement, and so you see this:😄 (not real gold) Edited March 23, 20223 yr by statsman
March 24, 20223 yr Omega and Swatch team up to make the MoonSwatch, releasing at selected Swatch stores this Sat (Mar26). Bioceramic case (plastic with ceramic powder, probably), 11 different editions incl. one per planet, price est $260, rumor is limit two per buyer. I think they nailed it and this thing'll sell like crazy. https://www.swatch.com/en-us/bioceramic-moonswatch.html Family photo screenshot: Edited March 24, 20223 yr by Sam Lin
March 24, 20223 yr Saw that release....pretty cool design for being in their biocermaic material. I wasn't sure how I felt...but I realize what they are trying to do. They are definitely trying to target more people (younger also) that will maybe buy this and spring for the real deal later. Making something so iconic available to masses is good. Omega has never been worried about releasing too many Speedy models/variants. It works for them. Might have to go see em in person. This one is interesting ("Mission to Earth"...boring mission): https://timeandtidewatches.com/omega-and-swatch-blast-off-together-on-the-bioceramic-moonswatch/ Edited March 24, 20223 yr by utxmike05

At $250 it would’ve been a no brainer for a new casual watch that I really don’t give a shit if it takes a few dings. Hopefully the newness wears off and I’ll be able to pick up one for retail.
March 25, 20223 yr in store only on Saturday ? show up early and wait in line ? im about sold on buying two of them

March 25, 20223 yr I’m a strap newbie. Are most straps pretty much plug and play if you buy a tool or two? Not nuts about the Velcro thing the Omega/Swatch thing has on it.
March 25, 20223 yr I'll stop by Saturday my and see if it's crazy. I'll definitely get 2 if it's not. A friend wants one who is in California and I'll probably give the other to my wife. I think the jupiter one is cool, as is Mars. But I'll give her the uranus. Doubt I'll get in though... I'm sure it's going to be absolutely nuts.
March 25, 20223 yr I’m a strap newbie. Are most straps pretty much plug and play if you buy a tool or two? Not nuts about the Velcro thing the Omega/Swatch thing has on it.It takes a little practice but it isn't too hard to get the hang of. Watch a YouTube video. And always go from the under side of the watch.

I'm sure it's going to be absolutely nuts. Might see you there. I gotta head to REI anyway so may stop by Galleria early. Reading watchuseek threads (there are tons lol) some have been told by their local US store have said they will open few hours early. But many are confused how some will do that if in a mall, and a few US stores are only inside the airport. NY has 5 stores. Also some have “heard” only 100 per mission model in each store and limit per two has been confirmed a lot. I hate campers but figure some will try to…but It would have to be outside the Galleria.
March 25, 20223 yr surly meet up on saturday it sounds like. im going to call them tomorrow show up early and wait in line ? im about sold on buying two of them

Also, I’m on Team Pluto is a Planet, and this will be a good way to show my support for that cause once the initial frenzy subsides.
March 25, 20223 yr For anyone interested, the watch auction for World Central Kitchen in the Ukraine is now online. https://loupethis.com/auctions 100% of proceeds go to support Jose Andres World Central Kitchen which is serving meals to refugees. https://wck.org/

Found a Reddit about the release for Houston Swatch. Peeps talking about getting there at 3am lol. Driving in from around state. Something about waiting outside in line by Nordstroms. Some claim they got info from the store had a yard everyone says something different

March 25, 20223 yr Buddy and I are going to Northpark in Dallas tomorrow morning. Planning on being there at 8am.
March 25, 20223 yr I would love one of the Saturn ones, but not enough to drive 45 min to the only Swatch store in Denver on a Saturday morning.

March 26, 20223 yr Was in Paris last week and went into the Tudor store on the Champs-Élysées and walked out with this baby 😉 Edit: I cannot lie. That watch pictured didn't even have a real movement, for display purposes only. The wait list was so long they wouldn't even let me put my name on the list. But the Paris part was factual. C'est la vie. Edited March 26, 20223 yr by dieucla98

March 26, 20223 yr Good luck to the Houston folks. Love the blue one. Would show up early but solo with the kids and not messing with that. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk
March 26, 20223 yr Getting only 1 kinda stalls my decision to go...because I know I want 2 (1 for wife), so may as well wait until online....wondering if the release day version may have something extra you wont get later online How shitty if only 100 watches per store. Were they worried these wouldn't be a hit?
March 26, 20223 yr Plus most every joe can afford this watch...definitely gona be a shit show. But I will cruise by and check it out..
March 26, 20223 yr Houston info from a huge watchuseek thread below -someone told only 75 in stock lol. That blows especially when there are 11 models. Wtf. Why would you limit your rev stream that day to $19,500 off that inventory. They cool make so much more….I guess a limited stock tease is what they want to drive up demand. They also mentioned Melbourne having a line 1/2 mile long. Hopefully Swatch employees hand out numbers to people in line for access based on inventory, so others can leave the line and not waste time. Edited March 26, 20223 yr by utxmike05
