You just know there will be fakes/clones about soon.

I'm prepared to concede that it is an 'age' thing that leaves me less than nonplussed about them.
I like the Speedmaster for what it is, and it's history - but the idea of having a placcy version in a multitude of colours has no appeal.
Even traditional chronometers are a tad irellevant nowadays - without producing one for the 'younger set' who would have absolutely no use for that function.
On the upside......................... Might help to keep wristwatches in society in the future.
Coincidence Ken.....coincidence & with the prompt from your good self.....cheers.
Hey I still have that 5512 for you,cant upload a pic,but then you know what it looks like......got to get something worked out to get it back to you Ken.
But only if your nice and play nice too....might even knock a bit off to help you hey.

A little while after these become readily available the sales corner is gonna be rammed with them.
Spot on.
It's a good looking, cheap watch. QC is out the window. I've seen misaligned hands on Swatch chronographs in the past as I owned a few back in the day. With the Omega branding, I wonder if they have at least sorted that issue out. The hands do look poorly made.
It's not a tough decision when it comes to picking one of these, or a well built Bulova Lunar Pilot.

Online release next Friday.
The eBay market place is all manufactured by the scalpers. Artificial auctions, watchers and bidders.
Bid away…..
If sold ebay prices are to be believed it looks like the (likely) most popular models are selling for around £1k already. That's auctions where the seller has uploaded an actual picture of the watch today not just a stock picture.
So much for a recession and inflated utility bills. If peeps are buying these for over 1k, the worlds officially gone barmy!
I often think that, but as with any hot watch most of the interested buyers are just looking for a quick profit. I’d like to think if my local Goldsmiths took delivery of 500 Rolex Daytona and phoned each person on the list saying they are in, list price, plenty for everyone and all the other stores have them too, I think 80% of that waiting list would melt away there and then.
Swatch social media account posting that London stores will reopen at 11am tomorrow morning.
Stab-proof vest a minimum requirement I imagine...
Just goes to show the power of advertising. Nobody knows us better than someone who successfully persuades us to buy something!
-SwatchThe launch of the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection is an incredible success that exceeded all expectations.
We would therefore like to remind you that there will be watches available in the selected Swatch Stores in the coming weeks as it is not a limited edition.
Window for arbitrage may be narrow
For very many of them profit wasn't much of a barrier.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
I find it amusing how everyone in the queue is scum and a profiteer, preventing the honest of this parish getting the Moonswatch.
Could it be, just possibly, that one or two in the queue were people who actually wanted one for themselves?
I mean, there must be people who actually do or the profiteers wouldn't have a market!

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I think the ones who simply want a watch for themselves - would mostly avoid all that hassle in those crowds (unless they are so niaive as to not predict it).
a. I have the chance to own one of those watches - I'll go and queue/get threatened to do that
b. I have the chance to score a few hundred quid (possibly more) by getting one/two on day 1
I think 'b' has the greater driving force.
Your faith in human nature is touching.
Once again, though, why was this predictable? Outside of the watch forums and YT reviewers, I've seen no mention of these watches.

With this so clearly intended as a scam, if someone fell for this, would eBay side with the buyer and force a refund?
