As someone pointed out they're not stated anywhere to be limited edition - is there anything saying otherwise? You'd think they must be though right?

People already bidding 2x retail on something the seller does not own :roll: :roll: :roll:

From the time they've sold out at 9.01am on Saturday, it'll be cheaper to buy a proper Moonwatch. So I'd have one of those instead :D

I do like the idea, and some of the colours are great, but I think it would be disappointing in the flesh because that bioceramic (plastic) won't be great. It's not completely new - Swatch launched it last year and I've seen some reviews.

Can someone please get a “Mission To Uranus” version.

Go on.

You’d expect it to be a bit more brown wouldn’t you.

Looks like a fun watch for when I don't want to wear something more expensive and I love that Omega aren't taking themselves too seriously. Think I might end up buying one or two on Saturday.

Blimey, I like that - the fact they are going to be in such demand kind of highlights how pointless fancy mechanisms are to me though! Give me a good reliable quartz any day!

I wonder if the strap is going to be swappable? Most Swatch straps aren’t but this doesn’t look the same as most Swatches.

It’ll be available online soon, there’s only a bit of a limited supply for release. Might get one myself later once I’ve seen the reviews.

Hopefully - would look great on a standard NATO strap.

Yeah I don't think I'll try to buy one this morning :o


And Swatch have pretty much confirmed it will be available to buy online in a few weeks.

Lol at the queues. How much are they retail price?

£200 or so. I like that a lot as an everyday watch.

That queue is insane

Surely they won't have anywhere near enough for all those people

I wonder if the big watch YouTubers are just standing by the exit and offering way over asking price (rather then queuing), knowing they'll likely make the money back on ad revenue from all the views they'll get on this one?

Sod waiting, it's all about getting the content out quickly IMO

(It's what I'd do!)

Must expensive on eBay earlier was £64,000 with 40 bids (obviously not genuine, never really sure how these things work when it's obviously not real like this?)

There are loads of more genuine looking ones in the £1000 take

As my old Nan used to say: a fool and their money see easily parted

At that price I’d rather have a Renault Clio.
