Agreed 100%. I like the hand wind movements and hesalite. There's something special about hand winding a movement. It's a more personal connection and experience with the time piece. I am also a vintage 4 digit Rolex lover.

I’ve spent a couple weeks in Vegas this summer, have stopped by the swatch store about 8 different times, as it was along the route I was taking. They had the mission to Venus, but I passed. Last time they had Mars, Uranus, and Pluto so I picked up the Pluto. It’s a fun watch for sure, but doesn’t compare at all to the speedy other then the design.

Since my Daytona is in the shop I picked up the Saturn on Sunday at NYC Swatch store.
I am looking forward to getting my Daytona back on Friday. Nice watch, but I'll let my son wear it if he wants. |

I pasty the shop next to station every morning on way to work and there are at least 10 people standing in queue every day. Same people and certainly flippers! Apparently both stores in Geneva as I hear have had people coming back to return the watches and guess what they were fake! Plenty of fakes floating around...

It will run its course like beanie babies, cabbage patch dolls, and other toys. It's not a serious watch. I do understand the attraction for some, but ultimately it damages the fine Omega brand IMHO. But to each his/her own.

I stopped by the Munich store this morning before heading back to the States. It was pretty crazy. People were lined up before I got there at 10 AM, when the store was supposed to open. I guess shipments come in daily and the store doesn’t know when the shipment will come in or what will be in the shipment. At one point, one of the employees came out and said which versions were going to be available that day, but I still had to wait a while to actually get into buy one. I was literally about one minute away from leaving when they started letting people in. I waited over two hours before going in but considering it was the first time I’ve been able to go to a retailer, I feel lucky.
I guess people lineup hoping for a certain model, so when the guy came out and said which models would be available, a bunch of people left. According to the guy next to me, That’s common. Apparently, the dark blue version is the most difficult to get. I went with Jupiter, which is pretty cool. In short, the craze is alive and well. |
