Tried my luck...

Tried my luck this morning to get the Mission to Moonphase. Managed to join the queue, and waited for about 2 hrs. But the watch quickly ran out and we were turned away soon after sales started. Oh well... not really a big deal. Just tried for fun.

If you befriended the flippers in front of you, you could have had an opportunity to pay too much for it. To the sharks in line your just another fish to catch. On the upside you got fresh air and conversation.

Absolutely ridicolous what swatch does there marketing- and saleswise. They know the demand on their New releases and give so less watches in sale.

Wonder how many of these went directly on to eBay....

Stupid Swatch, open up another line in the factory and sell them online 🤯

Man, if someone gave me a patek for 200usd but asked me to stand in a line, I wouldn't do it.

Same here my friend 😥 there were only 15 pieces at the zurich airport swatch store

I think this is why I have no interest in the Moonswatch. Marketing and how many in that line up are there to buy and not flip it.

I find it so ridiculous that they allocate so few pieces to each store. They know demand is there. They have had plenty of time to produce. This false scarcity crap is so annoying!

At this point it would be stupid not to.

I am so annoyed about this that I feel like not even buying from swatch group ever again 😅 waited there 3 hours and the lady came and said you should probably get one like 10 min before they opened the store and I waited 40 min longer after that
