Incoming Moonswatches :)

Having a 3186 Speedy there is certainly no comparison, but I happened to walk by Swatch today in Miami and they had just got a shipment. All 10 sold in 5 minutes. I picked up Mars and Uranus, best of the remaining Choices. One for my young son and one for me.

Was literally just thinking of driving down there to see how the stock is, that answers that..
congratulations to you though.. Talk about perfect timing!
Can’t believe these things are still so hard to get

So they said they are getting shipments 2-3 times a week now via FedEx. and one on Saturday, just not very much quantity.

The replica of a speedy goes fastest. I wish they would get the Neptune purple, it is really cool, but that is EU exclusive.

So if you are in the neighborhood stop in, or call them. FedEx usually comes there around 1:30pm.

I just got a Mission to Moon (in Las Vegas).

The Moon and the Mercury were my top choices as they look most like the real Moonwatch.

Now that I have the Moon, the watch is so whimsical (cheap), I think I now see the appeal of the more colorful ones.

Neptune, Uranus, and Venus are now on my list.

I went to go see one(Mars) really thinking I would love it, but I left without it. Im not 100% sure why. I love ANYTHING so its not "I'm too good for it". Have a bunch of odd watches + a ton of G-shocks. I guess the thing for me was from a value perspective it didn't feel better than a G-Shock and was double or triple the price, I didn't see the value. I thought they were so fun in pictures etc. but on the wrist I didn't bite. Who knows what the future brings I really wanted to like me a Moonswatch!

I would even call Neptune an EU exclusive. I was in Lyon, third largest city in FR and they said they have seen only 2 of the Neptune since the release.

Picked up a mission to Mars during a Spain trip back in Nov, stores there had pretty good stock. Fun tip, swap the strap around (so the buckle side is out), wears much better in my opinion.

went to Dallas over the weekend and popped into Northpark store. They had a decent amount. Wife got Earth and I got Mars. Admittedly like them more than I thought I would.

Looks good. I'll probably never be able to get one of these. The closest SWATCH location is over an hour from me so I rarely get there. Guess it's ebay or nothing

I'd like to get one of these as a mess around beater beach watch. I wonder if it would survive the water. I know the WR rating is pretty low but I've read that folks have been swimming with them with no issue.
