Facts!
I feel bad for the people that will fall for the flippers on ebay. if i cant get one on saturday, i will wait until they are online.👍 Its gonna be crazy this weekend as a result of all the hype, but its gonna progressively get easier to get one as the time goes on.
If you have the money and are impatient, why not? I don't have the spare cash, but lots of people do.
I'd rather spend my extra cash on steak, wings, and beer, but I don't judge people who spend it to have the next "big" thing.

I have a store 10 blocks away so I’ll stop by when the store opens to see if I can get one but I’ll bail if there’s a huge line. I really like these but I can wait a few weeks to get one

100% agree on both points. These will be readily available in a month or two if not sooner.
Look at the times Q reissue debacle
£150 watches changing hands for £300 plus, huge waiting lists and email alarms.
you can’t give them away now because they are essentially crappy watches.
what I fear here is that this sort of collaboration is a cynical way of rinsing the public out of money, by inflating the price of a very ordinary watch by the use of a premium brand logo, like putting a Mercedes’ badge on a Kia car then charging more but it’s still made by Kia.
Break it all down this all comes down to dam ceramic plastic and a big name Omega stamp on it. I still think they would of made a lot of sale if they would of made enough and kept production going and sell online. I really liked swatch at one point they let a lot of people down who waited long hours for nothing.
