Misison to Neptune

I do like that blue I’ve got to admit! I was one of the suckers that waited in line for hours when these first launched and I’ve got to admit it left a rather sour taste in my mouth but who knows maybe it’s time I get over it?! 😂

That is a very good looking design, I love the color scheme. I'm a sucker for blue dial watches. My reservation with the Swatch Omega watches is when you get them in hand. They seem to me to be of a way lower quality than a $250 price tag should get you. They would be more reasonable at $129 or so IMHO.

I see you are a new collector. Before you buy one I'd challenge you to do some research and see what cool pieces you could score in the same price range.

Could be tied to this…

It's not a bad looking color scheme to be honest. But I would never pay this kind of money for a disposable plastic watch toy just to have Omega printed on the dial, when I can get a great steel watch for half that price. 🤷

I had a chance to handle one at a meet-up and it felt incredibly cheap and flimsy. They probably cost $15 to make.

Are they finally going online?

No, this is just their latest moonshine gold variant release for this month.

I like the look of it but will it survive or turn my arm blue? Still might just get one for the cool looks of it.

I think this watch looks great. I wish Omega would release something similar… blue ceramic case with a dark blue enamel dial, using standard speedy guts. I am sure it would cost me 2-3 of my limbs and quite possibly a vital organ as well - but still worth it?

Hopefully it makes it out of the shop intact😂

I've seen the blue case rubs off the most and stains your wrist.

This is the same as the Mission to Neptune but with an added gold seconds hand. The Mission to Neptune has been out of stock for some time due to a paint issue, and remains the rarest of all the Moonswatches. They are all a bit expensive for what you get, and there is a unique and polarizing novelty with them.

Not for that price tag. It's just not worth it.

It looks nice, i like the blue. Thats about it, way too expensive for what you get.

My thoughts on the Moonswatch remain the same as they've always been - they're way overpriced for what is, at the end of the day, a cheap Swatch. Related to that, I feel sorry for people buying these, thinking they're getting an Omega - you're not. You're getting a Swatch homage to an Omega. Better to take that money and buy a real watch in the price band. It'll last longer, and look better for longer, for starters.

Meh

Did they fix the Neptune version? I know the early versions would bleed the blue color onto your wrist.

Looks excellent though. The contrasting second hand really looks nice on the blue background.

Then you've totally misunderstood my point. There are absolutely the 'right people' out there, in terms of people who kick on to become watch collectors. That was the whole point I was making; that originally there was a buzz that people would get interested in the Moonswatch and that would translate to people getting into the hobby. My conjecture is that doesn't really happen, on the whole, as the people who are mesmerised by the Moonswatch, by and large, aren't interested in becoming watch collectors. It's just about getting a cheap watch with Omega on the dial. So not sure why you're bringing the views of the companies into this? My point was to do with the attitudes of the individuals who buy Moonswatch.

Anyone else spend a minute swiping right coz of the three dots in the pic 😂

I do like the mission to watches and would love the entire collection (dark side of the moon is my fav). But. and a very big but, I don't think they're worth the money that's being asked for them, so sadly I won't have any 😪

Yawwwwwn.

No idea what it is but it’ll probably turn your wrist blue and fall to bits in a year..

I bought a mission on Earth and will most likely buy mission to Neptune given the chance. They are fun watches, yes they are probably over priced for what they are but so are most watches 🙊

Welcome a blue circle of ink on your wrist 😂

Perhaps the distinction is lost on you and you don't mind others telling you how to think. It's your right to roll that way but for many others that's a Big Fat Nope.

Telling me what I shouldn't like especially in something as arbitrary as watches assumes that someone could convince me that I really don't like let's say ice cream because they are lactose intolerant and poop themselves at the very thought of Rocky Road. Their situation isn't my situation.

Invalidating someone else's choices to elevate one's own is a boundary issue. Healthy boundaries make healthy relationships. I often ask myself what is the psychological goal of someone crapping on someone else's choices? Especially choices that have already been made.

Am I supposed to sell my MoonSwatch, Rolex, quartz etc because someone slid into the thread unasked telling me that I wasted my money? Nope. Did the poster pathetically high five himself because he "owned" me? Perhaps.

After over three decades in the mental health field I'm pretty adept at spotting and calling out unhealthy dynamics though I get that others often fall prey to them or use them to dominate others.

I also get that some people can't function without others telling them how and what to think but that's not me. Narcissists call these people breakfast. If that dynamic works best for you then do you.

I waited in line today. I was number 75 in the line.

After an hour, a lady came out and said there are only 25 watches to sell.

We left.

Worst waste of time ever.

LOL, you've jumped to a lot of condescending conclusions about me there and, rather than rebut them, I think the simplest thing will be to simply block you. You're playing the man, not the ball. Bye now.

Imagine wanting to gatekeep a hobby to "the right people" and claiming someone else is condescending.

Edit: No one's missed your point. I'd go back through your posts to enumerate them as I understand them, but I'm guessing you've blocked me since I no longer see them. I'd rather have an honest discussion, but I understand if you need to feel better about yourself.

Another person who clearly doesn't understand the comment I made.

I suggest you're caught up on the phrasing, and not the actual meaning. Read it again. But honestly, I've really got no time for this. If you're just wanting to have a crack, you can be blocked, too. See ya.

Did I earn a "Blocked" badge?Narcissists will often ghost you if they can't hammer you into agreement and/or adulation. I never mourn someone bailing because I've asserted my boundaries. Better sooner rather than later.

@complication buddy, because you (I assume) blocked me after my one innocuous response, I didn’t even get to read your reply, now I have an orphaned notification in my inbox 😂. What’s the point of ‘community’ if all you want is an echo-chamber and to gatekeep? More power to you brother, was going to make a point about narcissism but others have beaten me to the punch. 🙃

Nice blue, but am I willing to go through the whole MoonSwatch thing again?
