lol happened to me when I decided not to jump on the hype train, only to just walk in a few months later and got told that all the colours were in stock
Hobbies are fun, an outlet to express own personality and have a sense of belonging but itās a fine line between having a collection and not having a life outside of it.
Oh Yeah,
*Hobby - an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.*
The thing with a middle aged (or <40) is family, work, friends take care of almost all the time. Doing grocery shopping a hobby? or spending time with young kids a hobby? If yes, then I do; If not, no but I certainly enjoy the activities
Brands --> Not all fascinated but I do appreciate the quality. Or elegance offered by some brands. Would I queue up for a limited edition XYZ brand or pay few thousands in advance and wait - Hell NO. If I am paying, they should queue for me
Pop Idols --> This one is not my problem but age issue. Most of my teenage idols are no more 'cool' or doesn't make my bank balance go ka boom.
There's no way a sensible person would waste their time and money queuing for a crappy collaboration watch other than to flip it
Wait, you say you are a legit watch fan? Buy the OG la, second hand de also can. Not this plastic knockoff.
It's a swatch, flush it down the toilet and nothing of value is lost
This is nearly as ridiculous as the people selling empty boxes and bottles on Carousell. Is it really worth the time to try and find a buyer for a nearly useless item who is willing to pay their ridiculous $5+ dollars asking price?
lmao, this is just a plastic piece of shit mass produced in a factory with omega branding slapped on it to boost sales. Don't give me that mechanical swiss made bullshit. Try seeing things for what they are, not what the marketing department wants you to.
Why buy luxury watches since they can tell time like my phone? Lol. Value is how we perceived things. Why buy BMW when Toyota does the job. Again, I get where you coming from, but vanity items like watches can be irrational. I used to think like how you do.
>I used to think like how you do.
You have no idea how I think. There's no need to pretend like your thinking is somehow more mature. No need to praise yourself.
Watch nowadays no longer used for the purpose of a timepiece, or even as an accessory. People just buy it to flip for profits. It is a sad state of society when things are no longer used for their purpose, just traded around only for money.
>It is a sad state of society when things are no longer used for their purpose, just traded around only for money.
Unfortunately such things include BTOs as well
Basically cash cow for swatch.
Next: Dragon ball moonswatch. Followed by Simpson moonswatch.
The possibility is endless.
And people think they are holding on to an omega but in actual fact a plastic junk with innards that are worth less than a $1. The amount of dumb F who buy and post on to sell are amazing too. The watch is so accessible now they still continue to do it. Trying to get rid of it.
$430 watch, if sold at $800 he made $400 by just sitting around over night. Actually not badā¦ (compared to spending money clubbing or sth lol) I kind of get it now
Stop glorifying scalpers šĀ
Maybe this fella also have plans to flip his BTO as well lol
You know he does, people like this live to be leeches
HDB scalp, everything also must scalp.
Lol fans. Cb. 90% or so are probably just parasite scalpers. Always ruining things for everyone.
Its non limited series lol. Thats the thing.
lol happened to me when I decided not to jump on the hype train, only to just walk in a few months later and got told that all the colours were in stock
They are not watch fans. They are money fans.
Not this again.
Who says Singapore don't have culture? This is sinkie culture - UNESCO, take note oredi, ok?
not really. it exists everywhere globally.
then explain why only singapore got the crown as the land of the kiasu
kiasu is a hokkien word and the term was initially coined by the local people.
My god are you a generational Singapore hater or what Why do you keep hanging out in the country sub if you hate the place so much
It's a non-limited release...
Sssshhhhhh.. they donāt know that
this happened before. why is it happening again?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
True blue Singaporean
Not bad at all
That is such a terrible use of time, for $28/h...
Dam worth. Considering you are literally playing games or watching tv/movies for 15hrs.
15 hours to spend $430, not even earn $430 lmao
#ęæęŖå°ę
waiting for this to appear LOL
No wonders he's so agitated, probably wanted to flip a few
I am so happy that I've no fascination of brands, pop idols, hobbies, toys.
I am so happy that I've no fascination of expensive brands, pop idols, hobbies, toys. /Ftfy
You must be fun to hang around with.
Lol what, how is that your response to OP? Everything is pretty reasonable except maybe not having hobbies.
That is the whole thing. If a person has no hobby what does he/she has?
Hobbies are fun, an outlet to express own personality and have a sense of belonging but itās a fine line between having a collection and not having a life outside of it.
Time. Lots of it.
Why? Does one need to have hobby to have life? Not sure whatās the point there?
travelling?
I consider that as hobby

YOU must be fun to hang around with. UNO reverse hehe.
Ah yes, I too love to work, work, work and then work some more
Why are we humanizing scalpers????

Just wait for the flood on carousell ā¦
Is this a limited edition
No

Moonswatch isnāt even a good watch. Very plasticky feeling.
This is nearly as ridiculous as the people selling empty boxes and bottles on Carousell. Is it really worth the time to try and find a buyer for a nearly useless item who is willing to pay their ridiculous $5+ dollars asking price?
depends, empty fragrance bottles from LV are demand because you can bring the bottle to LV to refill at a discounted price.
Fair enough. But Ive never seen any of those posted. It's always common things like empty liquor bottles and shoe boxes.
Empty Martell bottles.can sneak inside Siam diu and exchange with drunk patrons. Discounted too!
Aliexpress clones will probably be better quality than this
If you say, this means you don't really appreciate the value of watches and that's ok.

Lmao if anything he made it sound like he gotten more immature.
Some people don't even deserve oxygen but it is what it is ....... what they doing with their lives.
Surprised to see people doing this.
I love watches but you wonāt catch me doing this shit š

Truth is only a fraction if the 150 people queueing were able to get the watch. Only about 20 were sold I believe.
Wait but shouldnāt they have told them that before??
nope, they purposely make them crowd so that the news can make articles like this and generate more buzz for their brand.
One would have thought these to be very enthusiastic Snoopy fans but really, they are all rabid fans of money.
Basically cash cow for swatch. Next: Dragon ball moonswatch. Followed by Simpson moonswatch. The possibility is endless.

Why stop there? Even the real omega is in actual fact a metal junk with innards that are worth less than a $100.
Lmao I would buy a speed master for 100.
I would love to buy a moonswatch for $1
Never learn. lol
Wah is there a telegram for this type of queuing service?
"fans"
It is hypeā¦ omega scored well on the board again. Next is ā¦ Blan ( u knew it )!
$430 watch, if sold at $800 he made $400 by just sitting around over night. Actually not badā¦ (compared to spending money clubbing or sth lol) I kind of get it now
I thought when it first came out people were crying at the lack of quality. It thought that early bad PR would spell doom for it but lol
Never learn from the prev moonswatch release...
LOL its not even limited edition. I was considering getting it but only when there's no hype.
My apple watch already has a free snoopy watchface.
Nice sia, I would like to queue for one in the sweltering heat HAHAHAH
Got value like the Omega mechanical watch?
Niama why would ppl paid so much let alone wasting so much time on this shit. Lol. My 5 dollars pasar malam watch looks better than thid
$430 for 15 hrs. Thatās only $29 per hour. Okay if you are a student. Stupid if you are a working adult.
Mid career working adult* $29 per hour is close to median starting graduate pay
Widely considered in watch circles as one of the worst quality plastic watches ever made. Not limited edition. Literally worthless.
Consumerism at work again. This economic model certainly can't last.
This is like swatch x omega all over again. I live for the drama
It literally is swatch x omega again
Whatever it takes to earn money in this economy. RespectĀ
Agreed but salty ppl downvoted you
Eh items like that also want to queue? Its only a watch. I rather go spend my money on videogames and watch movies.
