Calling all chippers. If anyone can get their hands on one of these ($250usd from a swatch boutique) I will pay them $350usd for it (please not baby blue pink or yellow lol)

Of course there are no swatch boutiques in Australia. Stupid Australia. I badly need a moonswatch to go with my moonwatch.

I'll pay $355 USD

You've got a store nearby you dirty flipper lol you can march yourself down there and get one for both of us.

Also, you've had quite enough luck for one day lol

What exactly are these? I feel like a piece of paper with Omega's name on it wouldn't sell for less than a grand.

It's a swatch chrono basically, but they've made it look like a moonwatch. Seems an odd way to dilute the omega brand, but that's what they've done.

If I'm near one of the boutiques in NY and there is no line (har!), I'll see what I can do.

Got another one, guess I've got the watch bug again...

My first Rolex, and one I knew I had to have.

After being told it could take years, I got the call just 3 weeks after visiting the AD.

I'm thrilled to say the least

Looks like you’ll need to sell some chips for that

I don’t normally wear a watch, but I have this nonchalant hand-winding mechanical for special occasions. It’s a modern take of the classic 70’s Shanghai watches, with a 34mm case. Kinda wish the Chinese characters were in gold, but can’t have it all I guess… I did upgrade the wristband to crocodile leather for a bit more extravagance. IIRC the band cost more than the watch!

Swatch posted on IG that these are NOT limited edition and eventually they will be available to purchase online.

This came in the mail today, been a good week. I might like this more than the Explorer…

False alarm. My friend just messaged to tell me that the local dealer has agreed to order a blue op 36 for him and a silver one for me.

Going down there today to pay a deposit to initiate the order. Should get it in 1-3 months. View attachment 618771

My other friend is going to buy an omega Aqua Terra, which is his first real purchase. The three of us are going to go collect them on the same day. Looking forward to that day.

How did your friend like his Aqua Terra? I've seen a couple the WOW me!!

One of my biggest regrets was selling my Aquaterra, looking back it was a mistake. I had the same issues I had with poker chips back in the day, it was all about the hunt. Once I had it I bored of it quickly and my eyes wandered to the next conquest. Now I wish I still had it in the repertoire.

This is the model I had. I might find another one someday.

He really likes it. You can't go wrong with an aqua terra. I think I will be getting myself one soon.

Tried this new small seconds on and was surprised how much I loved it.

I’m checking out a 15703 tomorrow. I hope it’s legit

I had to google 15703, so that tells you it's out of my price range...LOL. Good luck!!

Alrigh, the suspense is killing me. Are you sporting a new watch?

Wearing this one for the weekend. Used to wearing larger watches but this is too nice not to wear. Think I may put in a bracelet.

 

[Darson]

Anyone else wondering what to do with all their watches? After getting an Apple Watch, these have just been sitting in the box. Seems like a waste to me. Does anyone have any ideas on how they can come out to play? Weekend watches? Watch Wednesday? We used to have tie Tuesday when going to the office (pre-pandemic)...

I had the same conundrum. Really loved to sport my watches but since starting my clinical years in the hospital just wear my Apple Watch. I’ve committed to wearing a watch out Friday night and Saturday!

You could send them all to me and I'll keep them in my safe....as long as I get to wear them.
But seriously, you could look at selling them. Watchuseek.com has a huge classifieds section. There's also a subreddit r/watchexchange. Those are pretty much the two biggest "marketplaces."

I have a thing for 24hr watches - where the hour hand makes a single revolution each day.

My prize is a Breitling Cosmonaut

New pickup!

Gotta tell you,.I have really been gravitating toward the Breitlings, especially the Cosmonaut; and the IWCs.

Just saw this. Gtfo you heathen. That's basically like saying you like RHC gloss inlays more than leaded THC with textured shaped inlays.

My graduation present.

Not up to the standards on here but did buy this for my son for his 18th a couple of years ago. Don't know how the watch community view the swissmatic movement but he loves it and the quality for the price was great

 

[kmccormick100]

Ugh. Do I want this or a bunch of Grand chips?

I almost wrote Grand chips before realizing this was a Mercedes team watch. My Tag Formula 1 is actually my every day watch and has been for over a decade. Tough call. I tend to only wear my F1 merch (besides my watch) at the track or for related events.

Do you see yourself wearing this regularly? It seems almost too nice to wear casually and too loud/different to wear at anything formal, but I don't know your watch habits or rotation.
