If someone is looking for a deal I have this for 46k.

A couple grand more than you would pay at AD and it's a rare watch. Also a couple grand cheaper than comps.

Brand new

Maaaan, that is a good deal and it's a beautiful watch.

Here is actual watch

Please…no more pics.

Looks 10x better in person than the stock Rolex website photo... unbelievable.

It is truly amazing when you consider the amount of money that Rolex spends on marketing.

Here is a video on it I enjoyed watching a couple weeks ago:

That video....I don't think I would have the nerve to put a borrowed $40,000 watch, unsecured, on top of a railing over the ocean.

Hey it's a dive watch, gives him a good excuse to finally use another one of his dive watches to go search for the first dive watch.

I would think they would wait for a long time before putting them online and push more releases to their stores instead. They have a halo product that will get people in their stores and I'd think they'd want to milk that for all it's worth before just putting them online for bots to grab.

I'm curious to hear the different reasons why this watch is so heavily desired. This has been the most heavily discussed and pursued watch by far I've seen on this thread.

Really I'm wondering if there is any sort of particular Swatch nostalgia driving this (I'm not really familiar with the history or "legacy" of Swatch), or if it's really all about having something with the Omega name or that looks kind of like a Speedmaster for a cheap price.

I think it has everything to do with omega branding on a watch less than $300

100%

Omega is a luxury brand. It's something you aspire to. When you put a watch that says "Omega" on your wrist, especially the Moonwatch, it shows that you've accomplished something. Watches are like title belts along the path of life.

So making that available at under $300. Yeah, people are going to be all over it.

Which is why I still contest this is a horrible branding disaster fro Omega. Anyone that knows anything knows its under $300 because that's all its worth. How does that match with "Luxury watch" and Omega. It doesn't. It literally devalues real Omega watches.

It's going to bring great revenue in the short term, but Rolex, Tudor, Breitling, etc. and other brands in that segment have to to be loving this. It literally brings down the prestige of Omega.

Since Swatch owns Omega, any argument that Omega's value is diminished would also mean that the Swatch brand increases. Nothing wrong, IMO, with making a great design attainable to more people. They're different enough that nobody is going to mistake a $300 collaboration for a real speed master. I think it's a good thing that will attract a whole new market segment. My guess is a lot of the people buying these know very little about Omega, they just know these collaborations are something that are both desirable and affordable.
