Come on!  You gotta complete the collection!!!

·

Ouch, man.  1 as a novelty?  Yes, maybe.  But 6 at $260 each?  Hell, no...not when you could have taken that same $1,560.00 and gotten a really nice Swiss-made automatic chronograph like a Hamilton Intramatic or Tissot PRX Chrono.

EDIT: Not intended as a criticism, merely expressing my own viewpoint on the issue.  Props to OP for picking up watches that are to his taste.

Each to their own! 
I like the look of them and despite the "Its a Swatch not an Omega" lark, i would happily own one...But i wont be buying one thanks to the scalpers. Some of these are going for insane amounts. Way to ruin everything you money hungry fools.

Agreed the scalpers are out of control. I have gotten all from the swatch store.   It’s a shame that can’t figure out how to stop the flippers.

You've got to commit to getting the whole collection! I am jealous, I still can't get one. 

·

That’s awesome! Love it when collectors are focused

·

Cool!

Are they recent releases. I haven't seen them before?

·

I would love to get the whole collection and mount it on the wall behind some Plexi. No interest in wearing them 😋

·

I want the suitcase with the full set - it would be great if we could convince Swatch to sell a collectors' verion of the complete set with special display suitcase. One can dream...

·

I don’t know how you managed to get that many, but cheers to you.

I happened to be in NJ just outside NYC and was going to get one when they came out, but seeing the craziness put me off. I don’t do standing in line. My loss o guess.

I’d settle for them just letting me buy one or two online

  • fair play , I was really into them on release but like others, the fad wore off quickly . Not being able to get them has diminished any  interest in buying one. perhaps if they were like £100. Im not sure they will be very with sitting in the future either , unless you're going to get the set and never wear them.

I’ve been wearing a few of them. The bands need to be replaced with a nato bad though.

I think they originally were going to sell the briefcase. I doubt that’s the case anymore given the craziness.

They're like Pokemon, you gotta get em all.

LOL, it would be great if we can get Swatch to release any of them.

·

Couldn't get one. Got a sweater instead 😂

If you get more than 2, you are basically committed to getting the entire set. The full set would actually be very cool to display...

Curious how you are even getting any given the demand.

I was just about to say this 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent!

Once you have all of them, you should take a picture wearing them all on your wrists.

Yeah the velcro OEM straps are a bit weird and don't sit right on the wrist 👎
