@IWillAxeYou999 It’s the same affiliate link Best Buy always uses? Same one that also leaked the switch 2 preorders. Preorders are definitely coming out Monday
i can’t believe i gotta post this and i doubt it’ll go viral but the fact yall believe the affiliate business email is wild for the preorders for gta 6. it’s from busy buy not best buy and also that email doesn’t even look convincing at all. yall hyping tf outta this whole thing
@TheRealGAPeach3@wsbtv You do realize that half the passengers left halfway through the trip and took their own international flights before it was confirmed there was a virus. All the remaining passengers were flown on a special cargo plane straight to Nebraska and Atlanta.
@JDNEngland@outbreakupdates@lunajade No, the mildly positive is the oncologist in Nebraska. He was the only one positive and is being held in the bio containment unit.
@vooforlife@ErinBurnett ICU works quite well for this, as ECMO can keep the body going even though the lungs are filled with fluids. There are about 400 ECMO machines in the US, so make sure to catch the virus early to get one!
Spoke to the only American who tested positive for hantavirus (he’s in biocontainment unit). Of significant note: He & others on ship had illness w/night sweats, chills, & fatigue (fatigue lasted 2.5wks) after interacting only socially w/patient zero.

@Boratwallahi@gemchange_ltd The pics are all renders and fakes. As of right now the final look and colorways aren’t confirmed. It’s just to get your attention that’s why it’s super low quality. Sorry for coming off as a dick
@wmj0401@gemchange_ltd Yea im aware of that. But these guys obviously have them or act like they already have them when they post a pic w the box and watch around their wrist? Just don’t get why, either post the real thing w proper quality or don’t post at all.

swatch x ap "royal pop" drops saturday may 16 and this is the easiest 4-figure week you'll have all year if you're willing to do something that resembles work for 14 hours.
let me lay out exactly what i'll do
retail confirmed $300–500 range based on moonswatch ($260) and blancpain scuba ($400) precedent.
in-store only, no online sales. swatch is officially limiting it to 1 piece per person per store per day, not 2. so your hustle is per-warm-body, not per-pair
historical resale data on the predecessors
- moonswatch launched march 2022 at $260. stockx avg trade $900 (250% over retail), peak Tiffany blue Uranus $1,040 avg, individual eBay listings hit $2,400 / 12x retail. ~2,000 trades in first 6 days
- blancpain scuba launched sept 2023 at $400. chrono24 current asks $600–995 across colorways, two years post-launch. launch week premiums were 2–3x
- snoopy moonphase $430 retail, 2024 - guy in singapore waited 15 hours, watch immediately traded $1,200+
royal pop is the biggest of the three by a country mile.
AP has never done downward extension, ever. entry RO is $60k AUD. this is the first time swatch has used a brand they don't own. the cultural moment is bigger than moonswatch and the supply will be tighter because AP cares about brand dilution.
realistic launch-day flip: $1,200–1,800 per piece on a $400 retail. that's $800–1,400 profit per warm body you put in line. you bring 3 friends, you clear $3k+ in a saturday. you bring 5, count urself
not all stores are equal.
swatch lists US POS: SoHo, Times Square NY, Aventura, Miami Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, Honolulu, King of Prussia, Garden City, Troy MI, Oak Brook IL, Canoga Park, Santa Clara. UK has 13 confirmed stores. global rollout is simultaneous saturday morning
- avoid: SoHo, Times Square, Carnaby Street London, Ginza, Orchard Singapore. these are the moonswatch ground zero stores. snoopy line was 150 deep at 7am at ion orchard, people camped from 7pm previous day. carnaby had 5,000 people for moonswatch launch. you will not get a watch unless you're sleeping on the pavement thursday night
- target: secondary US cities Oak Brook IL, Troy MI, King of Prussia PA, Garden City NY, Canoga Park, Honolulu, Charlotte, Nashville. same allocation as flagship stores in most cases, 5–10x less line pressure. dude in the fratello article literally walked into Salzburg with no line and bought any model he wanted while doha was a war zone. apply same logic
- mall stores > street stores
this is exactly the pirate black yeezy 350 dynamic from 2015. bugis+ in singapore: 1,058 people in line for 52 pairs, ballot system, $329 retail, immediate 3–5x flip. vancouver granville street 2019, dudes camping from noon thursday for friday morning drop.
the tactics that worked then work now:
- 1 watch per person per day is the rule. so you bring people. cousin, gf, gf's roommate, your buddy who owes you money. each warm body = +1 allocation. industry standard kickback is $100–200 cash same-day for them just to stand. that's a 90% margin you keep
- the store rotation. rule is per-store per-day. drive between 2 mall stores 20 min apart, same person can buy at both. nobody enforces a national database. the AP collab will probably tighten this with wristbands or ID logging at flagships, but at troy MI nobody's running a database
- the line audit. show up to your target store thursday at noon. count heads, photograph the line, do the math. if there's 80 people for what you estimate is 40 allocation, you're cooked, drive to your B-tier backup. don't waste sunrise on a dead store
- the early-batch tail. swatch said sealed boxes are already being shipped to stores. some boutiques will get boxes opened tuesday/wednesday for staff display setup. they don't sell early but staff talks. walk in wednesday afternoon, ask politely how many they expect, what time staff arrives saturday. you'll get answers
- the ssense/stockx hedge. list your watch on chrono24 / stockx / eBay literally the moment you walk out of the store at 11am saturday. the entire premium window is the first 72 hours. moonswatch hit peak resale day 3 and was halved by month 3. blancpain scuba premium decayed slower because mechanical movement + lower units. royal pop has both factors so the window is wider, but the parabolic peak is still 48–72 hours. don't be greedy past wednesday
- the consignment dropout. if you can't queue, walk the line at 7am with cash. offer the 40th-in-line guy $300 cash on top of retail to swap places. people in lines that long start doing the math and some will take it. learned this from supreme drops, transfers cleanly to watches
@gemchange_ltd All These pics are so blurry.. makes me think they all not real pics. Every phone has high resolution camera. How come none of these pics clearly show the branding and letters. Just blurry?
@CAEZMEH@KING_FOREHEAD@outbreakupdates Just finished watching the interview.. Nebraska didn't have enough space, they're working in conjunction with Emory University Hospital here in Atlanta since they also have the proper facilities and equipment to handle this. They were the same one to deal with Ebola in 2014.
@KING_FOREHEAD@outbreakupdates Probably 2 native Georgians who were part of the other 15 or who may have had close contact to the 2 who are quarantined in Nebraska

@TheRealGAPeach3@outbreakupdates It’s a federally funded quarantine unit managed by the Nebraska Medical Center. The 20bed facility contains individual negative air pressure systems to safely house individuals exposed to highly hazardous communicable diseases. They’re allowed food delivery, exercise, video calls
Quarantine where? What kind of monitoring are they going to do? What kind of restrictions are going to be placed on these people?
This is a long incubation period that should be taken seriously. This could be nothing and not easily transmissible, or it could be an evolved virus, either naturally or in laboratory, that will not react the same way as previous outbreaks.
We just don’t know yet, and it seems like they’re playing Russian roulette with all of our health.
This shit has a 40% kill rate. I think we should probably be careful with this one. This isn’t the flu.
At the same time, I also want to make sure that these Americans who did nothing wrong are not put in a prison like atmosphere. If we are going to lock them up, it needs to be five star hotel level services. Whatever they want. Literally whatever they want.
BREAKING: U.S. passengers exposed to hantavirus arrive at University of Nebraska Medical Center to begin a 42-day quarantine.
Shuttle buses were seen pulling into a hospital garage, while at least one ambulance continued past the facility to another location down the street.
One of the most important forgotten facts about Andes hantavirus:
Argentina already experienced a real human-to-human outbreak large enough to trigger lockdown-style public health measures.
@SpencerHakimian Can we stop fearmongering. These are the people who were at the cruise ship that were send back to their homes after being asymptomatic
