Figured why get a swatch that looks like the real omega (moon and mercury) and rather pickup something more playful

I have been trying to find out when they have stock.
I was told they get random drops that sell out in 30 minutes.

I knew there was a drop this week and planned to check this morning but work didn't allow.
Will have to try next time.
First choice is mercury but also like the Saturn with the ring on the bottom dial

How are you guys getting word on release day and time? And is there a violent scalper called Pablo always in line at the store?

 

[Deep Thought]

Haven't worn a chronograph in any form for over 30 years.
I'm not a slave to time.

I called the store last Friday they told me they expecting a drop this week.
I don't know about Pablo I didn't make it to the store.

I can get Moonswatches no problem. More than one. You must just be prepared to pay $600-700 for one. Farking scalpers.

There’s some serious FOMO on watches still. Old Speedy Dates (not even proper no date ones) with pushers and crowns missing (and obvious internal water damage as a result) sell for $1k all day long. Stupid farks don’t know they’re gonna cry to get those pieces working again after a visit to their friendly Omega service centre.

I need to find one of those - mine needs a new crystal and a good polish.

If crystal is uncracked (hard for me to see) the scratches can be polished out. The case, though, looks like gold plated brass and looks like the plating has rubbed off at the lugs already. Polishing it further will just expose more of the brass underneath. Unfortunately it'll have to be re-plated again. Or you can just leave the plating, sort the crystal and you have a really cool looking piece with character - it'll probably be worth more (if that's important to you). It'll for sure need a proper service though - I doubt any certified service centre would touch it though. You welcome to PM me so I can have a look for you.
