I called the Swatch store in Austin. All he would tell me is they drop tomorrow, the price is $310, and if you are not the first 30-40 in line, don't bother.
I will wait this one out.

Can someone explain the moonswatch demand to me? Whats the appeal that would get you camping out or paying multiple times retail? If you go with a swatch, don't you want something quirky like the Simpson collection and not a knock off speedy?

I don't know about the appeal to others, but I wanted the Mission to Pluto MoonSwatch because I though it would be a great, cheap Aggie game day watch. I own a real Speedmaster Professional and I thought on an appropriate maroon band it would do well for gameday. It does, but unfortunately it didn't give us any luck last year.

I bought it at retail, without waiting on lines after the hype settled though.

same, it's really the only one that's ever appealed to me and only for the colorway

In my case, on this one specifically, its something a family member really wants because it is Snoopy. But its not important enough for me to use two hours of a Tuesday morning on so I am passing on it.

It's not a limited edition. This is just the initial drop. There will be more. I'll just wait until the next drop, and see if I am still interested.

FTAC is your man for exact pricing. I got mine below retail but I also went with the 1st gen 116660 reference because the extended power reserve and minor cosmetic tweaks of the later versions didn't justify the price difference for me. The newer references with the updated movement were trading much closer to retail.

Anyone an Inter Miami fan? Or just really like pink?



I actually kind of like it. And it looks like it will be a limited release.

Beckham is part owner of Inter Miami, and he's a brand ambassador for Tudor. Tudor announced a couple of days ago they are going to be sponsors of Inter Miami, then the pink Chrono dropped two days later. Note the bracelet on it, too.

So def a solid connection there.

I was reading more on this watch, and apparently one of the Tudor brand ambassadors in Asia is known for wearing pink, so this watch can work for two brand ambassadors.

Derail: if you want a prime example of the continued inferiority of MLS vs other pro leagues his arrival to Inter Miami is your gold standard case. They literally reversed their cellar status on day 1 of him being there and then win the whole league his first season.

Pretty amazing by a guy in his twilight.

Messi is the goat but Miami won the "league's cup" which is something different than winning their league. Columbus won their league last year. /pedantic post

Uncle Mike in the booth for the Astros game. Looked like a royal oak Chrono on his wrist.
