      @Graeme Isn’t $400 USD pretty steep or is it right for what it is?

          @goosehd the Swatch Sistem51 watches sell for between $165 and $270, so sit at a similar price point to the MoonSwatch.

          Are they overpriced? Probably. But that's also true for most Swiss watches. 😁

          Will I get one? Probably not. I suspect that others will make their own call based on price, brand equity, and whether they like the look of the watches.

          It'll be interesting to see how these sell. I don't expect there to be the same frenzy as there was with the MoonSwatch. It's a more insider brand, and the price is quite a bit higher.

            I think they will sell out instantly with resellers taking the glut of them.

                @goosehd It's nice that they've used the automatic movement in this one, whether that's worth 150 extra bucks more than the Moonswatch I'm not sure...

                I'm a little torn on this one. I think it's cool that BP gets some love and that'll help others find the brand. But the design of the watch doesn't get me super excited. Maybe the blue or white one will look good in the plastic...

                  @Giles that Fifty Fathoms is a lovely piece.

                  @Mr-Linz you could always save up for an original! 😁

                    @Giles I agree, it is tightrope act they are walking in my opinion, they could easily start cheapening / diminishing their own brands if not careful with these kind of releases.

                    I hope this is not the thin end of the wedge.

                      @Graeme Definitely better to go with the original! It's a lovely watch but it doesn't speak to me that much. Maybe a vintage one...

                            I disliked the omega Swatch a lot because it was a quartz movement. but now that this is an automatic movement (albeit, nothing to scream about), I don't know how I feel about it. kinda like it, kinda don't

                                            Been wearing this Seiko Mod, that I bought a few years back, the last few Days.
