For $6K, can get an Omega piece instead of this crap.

These watches are just like overpriced hello kitty dolls.

He is an idiot and anyone who re-buys is a fool because this is NOT a LIMITED set of watches and will be available online from the 28th
Also Swatch is a mass-market watch maker Each one of these does not have a serial number and is essentially made of plastic (Bioceramic is Swatch's blend of ceramic powder and bio-sourced plastic).

I used to collect Swatch automatic watches in the 90s and their durability is abysmal. I don't recall any model lasting more than a year. Mechanical movement and plastic simply don't mix.

This is so wrong in so many levels. Gosh. I feel so turned off from the energy of such behaviour.

I don't own any Speedy and these plastic quartz watches look fun. I will get two in due time, Mission to Mercury and Mission to the Moon.

Nothing beats my Grand Seiko.

For that kind of money, I will happily get a few tiong-made Seamasters from AliExpress.

Lol $6k a good deal for a not limited plastic quartz watch? I'm not that smart....but even this has to be laughable.

Maybe we can track this seller as the time goes by and see what is the actual final reselling price, maybe in 6 months time.

Yes, the tiongs have really improved on their watch cloning technology. Sea-Gull movements are pretty good, especially their flying tourbillons. But heard the DG movements are suspect. The tiong made NH35/36 and miyotas are quite ok also.

Wait 6 months to see this shit plunge in resale? Within 1 month when it goes on sale online, this thing will be worth at best $500.

6k can get a REAL Omega

Or you can buy the Original Sea-Gull diver. That silly commie star logo turned me off though.

It's ok lah, just pretend it's an Omega Constellation. I always thought the Sea-Gull logo looks like the Mazda logo.

I rather buy a new Tudor black bay at 4k.

Stupid Swatch should learn from Seiko, and not run the risk of cheapening an established brand like Omega.

Seiko added ONE very general word called "Grand" in front of "Seiko" and voila ! The price goes up 10 times.

Swatch should rebrand it as "Grand Swatch".
