Swatch x AP Collab

[N4E.SI]

Looks like cannot blame boomers this time. Mostly youngsters. How much are the watches going?

Boomers no energy to queue for so long

 

[N4E.SI]

What if they are unable to flip it for profit?

Need to sell lower price is it? Haha sure hope it's this case

That is why it is weird got people here keep justifying such behaviour

 

[noahexe]

Just for the HYPE...

Too free with nothing better to do than faking a hype...

I don't understand why this is $500 at all. Was prepared to pay $200 for it.

It won't be damaged no matter how hard I throw it on the floor?

 

[ridiculous?]

-Incomes opportunities.
-Tiagong if sg doing well, no need to gib bouchers liao.

 

[Flexamoria]

So many like to waste their time

I used to have some of these plasticky watches from Swatch like 2 decades ago

They generally quite durable, anyhow drop or throw also won't spoil one

But their quality now I dunno

It is all about Values. 價值觀
And Timing.

Values: To them, they see the values in this watch. That bag. That phone.
Timing: Some want to be the first in everything.
When these two combined together, wah 不得了

It is same as iPhone. You can buy it later also. The phones will be there. But people still go and queue.

For me ish if I see the value in something, I will get it later. No need to be the first to buy, use, show, tell. I really don’t care if I’m the first or last. But if I like and want, I will get it.

economy bad. for many is income opportunity

Deni, 24, from Myanmar said he started queuing at MBS on Friday, 2pm. Once he got one, he sold it immediately for an extra S$500.

 

[alex22]

It doesn’t matter. There are people who hire Banglas to queue. There are students who are not working happy to queue to resell. Your view is narrow and limited.

Lol wao

 

[Krabs.]

how these people calculate the risk/reward ratio ? if too many people have the same thing then it's possible the resale value is lower than the price they paid ?

 

[boyinhersense]

Your view even more narrow and limited to think this is a good way to earn money. This is not even earning to be exact. They are scalpers, basically parasite of the economy who adds no real actual value

To now pivot to talk about “value” creation in a job really demonstrates your ignorance about economics and reality.

Why do you despise how people make money? You attribute value to what jobs they do? What value does an influencer add? How about commodities/currency trader? Arent they basically scalping?

 

[Ayuready?]

When society values material goods more than humans, it doesn’t bode well

 

[helloicanseeu]

siao lang ... loh, sinkapore a lot lah ...

 

[ksapple]

Ppl that are watch collectors will wait for retail price since they know their value of this type of toy.

Those that buy from carousel usually will nv be afford real ap anyway

 

[Techno Pride]

For the same money, I rather get a tissot. Basically the same watch as AP with different logo.

Never heard of this brand before so went take a look. Oooooooo I like the Chrono XL and XL Classic. Everything else is too expensive

[Techno Pride]

I feel is ok if this is a traditional wrist watch.
But this is a pocket watch.... buy for what?

You're always injured and not playing. Buy you for what?

 

[songboh9696]
