not sure if ion allow queing overnight as the mall will be closed.

 

[cyrenic]

Quite a stupid comparison and no relevance for me

Well, I can understand why you feel that way, since you think printing Omega somewhere means the watch is a luxury piece.

It's a collab. It doesn't diminish anything

Low ses watch… meant for 13 years olds

Plastic quartz watch should be easy to produce. Crux is initial wave and the handling of the crowd

So if someone slaps Rolex branding on a hamburger from McDonald's you would queue for 8 hours and pay $15 for it, and then bring it back home to keep in the freezer and take it out to worship every new year, and pass it down to your kids as family heirloom?

Methinks you need to care more about substance, more than branding or hype. Buy what you really like. That will bring you joy.

well said, this basically is something along the lines of a football jersey, championship belt/ring.

There are "replicas" and there are originals, could be from the same company too. Just what goes inside it.

The power of omega x swatch hype aka owning an omega (lookalike) at priced at a swatch (or should it be overpriced)

Swatch announced that limited to 1 purchase per customer.

Scalpers income per effort/queue now reduce by 50% song boh.

saw some ig reviews, the mercury is quite nice despite the plastics.

Yah look like sinn tegimented or damasko ice hardened case. Grey is very neutral also

Yep. That is the nicest one in my book and if I wanted to get one, that would be what I went for. The muted colors are less obviously plastic, and it is different enough from my Moonwatch..

Anyways, why queue? Just get the real deal...
