Post Moon Swatch Apocalypse: Revenge buying

maybe try a different swatch? lol

I love it!  "How dare you not sell me a Swatch!  To get back at you, I'm going to buy the green SMP300!"

Someone just posted about doing this at a Seiko AD down the srreet from the Swatch store

I'm picking up these Gaunqin on the AliExpress anniversary sale March 28th.

I got this on eBay mint condition for 250 last year. 

This is a thing???

Why not save the money for the real Moonwatch or a grail piece?

you could spend the same money on this: 

Tissot PR 100 Powermatic 80 Black Dial Men's Watch T101.407.16.051.00 T101.407.16.051.00 7611608275474 - T-Classic, PR 100 - Jomashop

and have a much better swiss made watch :)

Or, if it's a chrono you want:

Tissot Sailing Touch Men's Watch T056.420.27.031.00 T056.420.27.031.00 758499234580 - T-Touch Collection, Sailing Touch - Jomashop

💯 % Yes!
…planning to get  something completely different, something of good quality .  

BTW - kudos on “revenge buying” term!  Yes, that’s exactly the feeling.

Yes how dare you! I will go buy a Casio Oak! F U Swatch! 😂😂😂

Revenge buying is often bittersweet. 🤣. Looking forward to your next timepiece!

Ok I’m quite a hypocrite. just 2 years ago I sold my swatch watches (more like gave them away because they really have no resale value) because I haven’t been wearing them for years….I can’t believe now I am going to commit to another piece that I might just not wear it after a few days. Maybe it is a good time for me to cool down and realise that personally the Moon Swatch is  watch that I have never wanted….

nice! Love to try this on one day too! 

Thanks for enabling my revenge buying. 🤣

I also heard that apparently some people walked into Omega boutiques and bought themselves the real Speedy instead. Omega X Swatch is really just a click bait 😂

yes almost yesterday i remember i have a swatch somewhere after seeing the hype. after i wearing it im not so sure about moonswatch anymore. 😂

LOL glad your revenge left your credit card unscathed!! 😂

Picked this OMEGA up at the AD yesterday while everyone was having fun at the Swatch Boutiques :)
Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch Sapphire Sammich Steel on Steel (310.30.42.50.01.002). Currently on StrapHabit FKM 20mm

now this is class and definitely worth it! woohoo congrats!🍻

I wasn't... but I am thinking about it now. Any excuse. 😁

👀

I was wishing to myself yesterday that I could go and buy the exact same watch 😆

I'm glad you did 🍻

Considering buying this to fill the void of the moonswatch. its a homage of the tintin, sure, but I can justify getting a homage if its based on something so exorbitantly valuable that I will most likely never get to even see it in person. we will see how it goes.

still angry…

i love your anger! 

yes, most important is to be able to try it. my take is the Moon Swatch will be available after some time. there may be shortage now, but give it a few weeks or months. if you wathc Jenni Elle's latest review of the Moon Swatch, she also mentioned Timex's Pepsi a few years back that went super hype and no stock....but now there's still stock but nobody's buying it anymore. 

I sealed the deal and it’s on it’s way.  Here’s the seller’s pic.  The no-date Legend Diver was discontinued several years ago and are pretty hard to find these days.

I’m so excited for you! 

Revenge bought this just yesterday 😅

Now that's a real speedy 👍

Yes, I ordered an used Seiko 5 Sports (SRPD55) 😬😅😅
