[Swatch] X Blancpain seems to be a dud (alien.top)

I was walking by the San Francisco Swatch store and dropped in to take a look at the Blancpain collaboration. The Swatch employee said they still only had limited colors of the MoonSwatch available but every color of the Blancpain was in stock. I’m not interested in either but it confirmed my suspicions that the Blancpain isn’t nearly as popular as the MoonSwatch, especially at the higher price point.

The moonswatch in itself is already a really bad value watch tbh

The blancpain is more painful pricing

And completely unserviceable. It’s literally a throw away. Shameful.

its crazy how they got so hyped up.

like u can get a Seiko Speedtimer the solar quarts one for the same price as some grey market moonswatch and people stills buy a plastic toy watch over it.

i just don't get the hype for it. bad value for MSRP awful value for the grey market price.

blancpain one is awful value but atleast its not hyped.

im all for accesibility but i really don't think these watches are it

Thats not true. You can service them, there are people that do and you can swap out the entire movement for less than a service on something higher priced
