Omega x Swatch watches Saga

Guest Omega x Swatch

Most queuing are looking to resell these watches.

Just like those Swatch limited edition during the 90s. So annoying that I can't get one at listed price but they are available on the black market for higher.

But then, this omega x swatch isn't limited ed.

there value for the watch if resell.

Generally only Patek and Rolex have high resale value though AP too in the recent years. You buy a watch not for investment but the joy of wearing it. The satisfaction of wearing surpasses its investment value as for me. 

The Omega - Swatch watches are not limited edition. I find them too colorful for my liking.

Can emphatize with the angry, frustrated and disappointed crowd who heckled the brand mgr.

 

Same thing happened in 1992. Queued up for my dream chrono called Sirio, only to see it sold out. But managed to buy a scuba Jelly Bubbles. Lucky I went when the store just opened, so no wait. Was damn disappointed cannot get my chrono. The store people were rather curt and did not entertain queries on when stocks will arrive.  Months later, managed to get one when more stocks came. 

 

I must say they are very good at making people gian for their watches. And in this way demand exceeds supply. But the downside is making lots of people unhappy.

 

Looking at the brighter side, collectors are still searching for some models I collected during the 90s. So it's a fun hobby and you might make some money for the sought after models that are no longer available in stores.

For God's Heaven!   All this trouble just for a watch!

 

Eight years ago I bought a Timex Indiglo for $42.25.   It runs fine, it looks great,  no winding required, it has the precision of a quartz watch.

Now it's a matter of buying if it's available. It's not as though there's a lack of nice things.

 

Years ago I was browsing in a CD shop. I commented that the prices were high. The Malay girl got angry and said :"You don't have to buy!" I thought it pretty sensible advice and took it up. But from a business point of view, she's being stupid.

The watches are named named after planets. There is some association with astrology.

 

Anyway, those normal models on sale are even nicer.

So much drama.  It's hard to manage if there's a sudden surge in crowds. There were some reports of queue cutting.

At least, mentioned "while stock last".   Keeping silence is a poor marketing gimmick, because its main intention is to draw crowds to buy other things if they can't get what they initially wanted.  It happens in all sort of warehouse sales too.

Dun really understand the craze for whatever merchandise for resale or any other reasons. I dont really see ppl making a fortune queueing up n re sell at first instance, be it iphone or what. The newly open uniqlo also i dont understand. Queueing is really a favorite national past time. N complaint. So combine the two u got this saga.

 

So what if they're frustrated? Nobody forced them to queue, n somore can hav face to ask for reimbursement, no food no toilet. U want queue go fully prepared la, diaper, food, bread, fan, chair the whole nine yards. Expect the swatch manajer to take care ur poo poo n mum mum a? Faint

I will promote him instead of sacking him.

 

Look, because of this more people got to know about the new watch. Comparing missing out that few angry customers and gain 99% more interested buyers, I will compromise that 1% angry customers to gain 99% more unknown or new buyers who got to know about this after the recent saga 😂 the more you cook the more curious buyers.

 

Do people stop going to KB or Hook after all those bad mouthing? Do people stop eating Macdonald’s after the Hello Kitty saga? Curiosity bring opportunities.

I rather safe the money and get the Omega speed master than the collabration as there is few factor it doesnt attract me is the strap and casing and overall is still Swatch is the watch i wear during my teens.

With a girth like that, you could wear a watch around that too.
