I bought a Blancpain three years ago, nobody told me you bought a Blancpain and that's what I like about it. Now everybody will tell me : oh! you bougth a Swatch!!!
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.
Yay!! My favorite everyday watch, my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms titanium will finally gain some notoriety! I think it’s cool and smart for Blancpain to do this. I don’t see a downside to this at all.
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.
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
The AP is badass imo. These watches are a waste of money but then again, it allows watch people with a tight budget to enjoy the look of that watch minus the quality
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Hey Eric ' Rumors Floating Around The U.K. That Swatch And Rolex Are Also Going To Collaborate , I Think Their Premier Model Is The Swolex 730 ⌚⬅️ 😹😹😹😹😹💣💥
Love the collab. Brings attention to Blancpain. I am sure they will do another with a brand within the Swatch group. IWC is Richemont.
$400 for a disposable plastic toy watch with a non-serviceable movement = major cash grab for Swatch.
Totally agree with you about this. Disposable junk

Next : Swatch Type XX

@@MAELOB Thank you for your reply, appreciate it 🙏🏾
Were you rocking a yellow gold royal oak man? We need an updated “state of the collection” vid! 🙌
It’s junk ! Nice video mate 🥃
Most underrated watch brand of all time

No, its bc they sell all their watches online till this releases.

Yeah, it's sometimes hard to remember that some watches are for fun.
In my opinion Swatch did the best advertisement to the Omega and Blancpain.
I 100% Approve Eric’s message!!
Always a treat to see your videos
I like the green one.
Eric, awesome video as usual

Good vibes! 👊🏻 please, make a video of your Porsche.
Keep up the good work Eric
I thought you were a fan of colorful dials…. John Mayor vs 5168Green your thought is appreciated
When is the hublow swatch coming out?
Still be better than a hublot.
The AP is badass imo. These watches are a waste of money but then again, it allows watch people with a tight budget to enjoy the look of that watch minus the quality
First colab was way better with Omega. I’m not rocking either but I like seeing new things coming out
Problem is they are glued down so no servicing so won't last working well
I feel like the man is 2 weeks behind the news cycle 😅
Swatch X Breguet up next 😂
Loco, de nuevo un poquito tarde tu video, ya todo Mundo lo sabe.
IWC Richemont
RM will be nervous with a new plastic watch in town 😂😂😂
Lets all remember what this hobby its about, we are collectors dont take this too serious.
next is Brequet
If Swatch does an AP collab you guys can have my Jumbo and 43 offshore.
😂
I love Watch Eric but man he is always weeks late on topics so his videos become irrelevant
Because he’s busy doing business making money 💰 💵 I can understand the non dealers first to drop a video but the real deal dealers …….
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!!

But it’s not stupid to pay over retail for the stuff you push?
Love the Blue one
I think it appeals to a certain audience and i find it bold as well. Why not. I won’t buy one though.
This is a Win-Win for everybody..... for Swatch and the end user

No love for Blancpain.
It was not the first dive watch. There is no discussion about it.
Blancpain started a campaign several years back claiming they were the first. Although there has been many controversies surrounding it
Why would you go to a 3rd world country in vacation?
Plenty of watches "for fun" are cheaper and better quality than this garbage!!
