What's my take on the Swatch x Audemars Piguet drop?
First off, that pocket watch is a hard pass. If I absolutely had to choose one, it’s the black and white model all day. The rest of the colourways honestly look like they belong in a Happy Meal.
Let’s be real: 99% of the hype is just people losing their minds over seeing "Audemars Piguet" on a plastic dial. It's a great shortcut for anyone desperate to flex an ultra-luxury name without spending much. That’s the main reason we saw insane crowds and stores shutting down on release day.
It’s wild how a non-limited edition plastic watch is going for more than retail on the secondary market. It just proves how desperate people are for luxury tags.
For the cash people are dropping on resale, you could buy a genuinely fantastic, durable watch that you can actually WEAR.
That being said, you have to give Swatch their flowers. Their marketing team deserves a raise. They pulled in billions of views and sold out in minutes. Plus, it’s undeniably bringing millions of new eyes to the hobby and getting a younger generation into watches, which is always a win.
Ultimately, Swatch just pulled off the biggest release ever.
The only collab that could ever top this level of hype is if they somehow convince Rolex to join the circus.
@MarioHunti42406@TheSiteSupply@cvlager You will have to wait until wristbands release for this watch, but usually watches look too big rather than too small on skinny wrists. Probably will fit well.
@TheSiteSupply@MarioHunti42406@cvlager My apologies, I see a lot of twitter accounts just sharing others' pictures without credit or recycling posts. Which indeed does not seem to be the case with this page.
@airborneMBG@MarioHunti42406@cvlager Couldn't find the original owner of the photos. We've gladly (as we always have if you took the time to scroll through our page) tagged them.
@InsiderWN Well yall better get figured out. I can assure you people will absolutely lose their shit if you think we are going to lock down again. Trust me lol people are over it.
Hands-on with Nomos Glashutte’s Club Sport Worldtimer in white.
Now the third core reference alongside the silver and blue, this crisp white dial keeps the same DUW 3202 worldtimer movement, with 100m of water resistance in a 40mm x 9.9mm case.
@BaileyDad86@GlobalWatchClub The Pepsi is the original GMT rolex watch made with Panam, rich of history and a real pilot's watch. Doesn't matter if it’s ugly or not, it should always be an option
@kehindekolawole@EdisonDave2@Truthful_ast There were also parts of manual flight throughout the mission, and autopilot isn't just turning something on and doing nothing lmao
