16k for a watch you can’t service is wild. They look nice, I’ll probably pick one up at some point. Should have had online sales though.

Completely embarassing behaviour.
I guess at least they’re taking a break from buying every packet of Pokemon card in the store. Maybe some kids can actually get them this weekend.

I didn’t even realise Swatch watches were still a thing! They were popular when I was school, but I haven’t seen any or heard about them for years!

This is obviously for resale but is the market there on this item? Who needs one that badly? What clout does it give you?
It’s a plastic pocketwatch that anyone who would recognise it would know it costs £400. Basically I don’t get why people are going this crazy over it?
That £16k figure can’t be true surely

It’s a fucking watch. And not even a very nice looking one at that.
Greed / selfishness in this country is a huge problem.

What’s the deal with this watch? I looked at it online and thought it looked very meh?

It’s all scalpers and you can’t blame them.. if you look up sold prices on eBay and StockX there are morons buying these plastic watches at 3x the retail price.

why is this sort of thing so attractive to “urban” youths?

A pocket watch that costs about £10 to make, sold for £300+, only bought by people who hope to sell it on on the Bay for £10k+ (of course, most of them will be stuck with their purchase).. I’m a sucker for the colourways but come on, who even uses a pocketwatch this century? This whole thing is the epitome of online hype.

Scalpers selling a few hundred quid watch for over 1.5k. People were camping outside the store the day before when I saw the shop.
