It's Not All Gloom For The MoonSwatch

I imagine a number of us were somewhat underwhelmed by the release of the MoonSwatch Mission To Moonshine Gold. I know I was. However, on the plus sid...

Did you see the Adrian Barker video of the Mission to Moonshine? Some lads bought the watch and then tried to sell it to others in the que!

I just hate the fact that the only shops in the UK are at different ends of the country! So I do get annoyed because I cba to go to London or Edinburgh to a swatch shop as the staff are sick of it all now. Therefore, it's not a fun experience. But I am down in London in April so I will try.

It is a cash grab as that is what all businesses do, they're there to make money. They don't care about you or I. That's a fact, and this latest iteration of the MoonSwatch was lazy I don't disagree.

However, I still think it's fun! The watch world is so snobby and elitists. But this was (supposed) to be open and at a price point open to basically all. The issue is that like all "hype" pieces the resellers came in droves. I also think it was stupid to not sell them online as a swatch boutique experience isn't the same as a luxury one. Additionally, I've been to Edinburgh, Rome, Warsaw, and Bangkok, but still unable to get one but I don't harbour any ill will to it. It's just like the other hype brands. But that's just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️ and like you say if you're not a fan you hit them where it hurts, in their wallets and don't purchase them.

I suppose not everyone has the money to buy an Omega, especially a Speedy with their recent price hikes. I think it is a cool thing tbh. I agree with @JP142470 be that the execution has been poor and back peddling on the online release was frustrating. But I do like the concept.

Very nice, unfortunately I am still yet to get one but I do want to pick one up at some point.

This first time I came across the a top 3 dealer was 4 hours by flight in another country. I just wanted to see what's all the hype about and appreciate them in person as it's different compared to all the Insta posts.
