It’s a fun piece. I wore a Swatch in high school and I’m a big Omega fan. I wear it maybe once a week. I’d like to add the Pluto or Mercury if and when they become available.

Have there been any additional drops since these were first introduced?

I was in NYC last month and no one had any (Oculus and Village).

When will more supply hit the market?

I don’t know when they will be available
Probably won’t buy one, I read they are cheap looking, people hate the strap.

When taken as a fun collectable, these are enjoyable, little watches. [IMG][/IMG]

I am out on buying this watch. For so many reasons but most of all for the game playing regarding the release.

I have stopped into the Edinburgh store a few times and they get one delivery every week. Problem is the store is an hours drive for me and every time they sell out right away still. I would like the earth one as a beater watch.

I would like both the Earth and Pluto as a fun summer watch but I don't live near one of the specific boutiques. We have a large Swatch store here but it's not on their list of stores carrying these. I was out in Las Vegas during the release but the people at the store told me they hardly got any in and they all sold out right away. We'll see what happens this summer with these. I'm not holding my breath.

Last week I headed to the Swatch store in Covent Garden, London. As I was working nearby. I’ve visited the store about 4 times over different days of the week.

In front of me was a woman moaning cause she can’t find “those watches” anywhere! Huffing a puffing. She was talking to the manager of the store. I heard him say “cause they aren’t available, we sell out as soon as they arrive”. After she left in a strop, I asked the same bloke (who recognised me I think), when did they have some in last?

His reply, what one are you after? So I’m happy to report, I got my favourite one. It really does show, no need to be rude to the staff of a shop that you’re trying to purchase something from!

I love this Mission To Mars, I haven’t taken it off since I got it. I love that it’s white and red. It sits well next to my Seamaster and I now can’t wait to get a 3861 Sapphire as my next big purchase!

Cheers

Something with the Omega logo under $500. Seems to be what the hype is about.

Look at the picture of the red one in this thread, it is a plastic toy. I will spend my money on other things.

It’s the possibility to get a red, blue or yellow watch with the exact dimensions and dial layout as a Speedmaster. Red is my favourite colour so I love mine. Let me be clear though, other than the Omega text on the dial. The watch is 99% Swatch. The build quality, the Velcro strap. It’s a fun watch. Nothing more. Don’t pay a penny over retail. Wait for them to be available online.

No problem. Here’s some more pictures.

To answer your question. It’s a plastic Swatch watch. Don’t be fooled by the fact it’s got Omega on the dial. I recently bought the new metal Green Casioak. This is a toy compared to that. However, if you’re fine with that (as I am), it’s a great watch to strap on. When I open my watch box and this bright red and white thing is screaming “pick me!” It makes me chuckle.

Cheers.

Thank you for the photos.

I've never had a doubt about it not being an Omega :-). Im just wondering if the quality is decent for a plastic watch? I've got a metal swatch but it's not plastic. Held up for about 2 decades.

Many are calling the Moonswatch a 'disposable' watch. I'm not keen to spend $300+ on something that won't last. If the quality is as good as my steel swatch - I'd consider the Mercury.
