    $400 for a disposable plastic toy watch with a non-serviceable movement = major cash grab for Swatch.

    Love the collab. Brings attention to Blancpain. I am sure they will do another with a brand within the Swatch group. IWC is Richemont.

    I got the Indian Ocean in Miami no wait, and first day I wore it at work received numerous compliments from non watch enthusiasts , I had to explain what it was. But some people like the strap and others the dial. I don’t care if it’s a toy, I really had fun wearing it, that what counts in my book plus I can’t afford 15k for a real one

      I'm aiming to get the Atlantic or Antarctic at the Miami store. Do you think lining up half an hour before opening should be enough or do I need to be there even earlier?

      @@zakisarker I literally went around 1pm no wait time, walked right in and they had 2 Indian oceans. Either nobody want the watches or they learned their lesson and have more stock. Either way is good

    A happy meal watch on steroids. Swatch benefits the most. Their Boutiques were empty before the MoonSwatch. Nobody waited in line for a cheap Swatch. Now they do. These collabs saved Swatch Watch from oblivion. Seriously 😎

      Saved them? Only people scooping them up are resellers. These collaborations are only good so many times before people are fed up with it. Omega/Blancpain lol two brands ill never consider purchasing in the future now that they’ve associated themselves with a kids toys.

    I think it’s cool and smart for Blancpain to do this. I don’t see a downside to this at all.

    • @realalexmackenzie
      @realalexmackenzie Год назад +1

      You don't think it devalues the BP brand? I was keen to add a FF later this year, but this collab has given me pause. I don't like the close link that now exists between it and what is a piece of cheap plastic. Just my two cents.

    • @boeing700
      @boeing700 Год назад

      No, I don’t think so. Quite the contrary, I think it places a light on the brand which is much needed.
      Blancpain is not your social media collector type of watch. Only people that have been in the game for a while will notice a Blancpain. It’s sort of sad, because my Blancpain keeps better time and feels just as rugged as any my Rolex pieces.

      Well I strongly doubt the one's who drop 400$ on a Swatch Fifty fathoms is going to go dish out 15k for a real Blancpain fifty fathoms. The gap is way too big it's unrealistic the only one's I see making $ on this deal is Swatch

    This is good for the watch industry as a whole. It draws in big interest and gives entry level collectors a chance to get a decent piece. Before this collab NO ONE would talk about Blancpain let alone see wearing one, so it’s a win for everyone. I’d say it’s better than hearing about some ultra exclusive Patek or Rolex that 99.9% of people won’t even get to see.

    Im happy if even just 10 Americans buy it in cash, instead use their funking debit card to buy anything they cannot afford, like a real Blancpain, , and so, creates a funking debt, that the entire world has to pay for!!

  • @underdog5081
    @underdog5081 Год назад

    I bought mine in Dallas. I had gotten up early to see all the hype and any potential chaos. I had no intentions of buying one. When I got there, I realized I was one of the first 50 so I said “why not?” Why not be part of the experience. When you are a watch enthusiast/collector, why would I get a conservative color like blue or white? Swatch is about fun and colors. So I picked the green Indian Ocean. Are the watches overpriced? Yes, however it’s a better watch than the moonswatch. Breguet maybe the next collab. All the best.

  • @WestCoastAce27
    @WestCoastAce27 Год назад

    Allegedly Speedy sales did benefit from the collab; I don’t see that with this offering. I respect Blancpain’s contribution to the watch game back in the day - but actually thought you might say this Eric - their 50 fathoms pricing today is sadly just out of whack with their place in the Diver game. If most watch guys bought a 50 and 2 weeks later got ‘the call’ for. Sub, they’re selling the 50, getting the Sub and pocketing the difference.
