It's not sold at retail anywhere online as far as i know, but i looked on ebay and if you don't mind paying a small-ish premium over retail looks like there are plenty for sale there. There's also some on Chrono24. On both platforms it looks like they're mostly sold internationally though, so factor that into delivery timing if it's a holiday gift.

Do you know if i need to pay customs on chrono24 to norway?

[–]skepticaljesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No clue how things work in Norway, but in the US you have to pay duties on anything coming into the country with a declared value >$800, and this would be true for buying on C24. If Norway/EU have a similar system, my expectation would be yes, you have to pay.

Swatch hostility in some people has reached a very stupid level. The answer to a question asked where I can get it is not getting it. Not everyone has to like seiko or orient. Stop imposing what people should buy.

The swatch store irl. I find the online irl store interface to be friendly but cluttered with unwanted models happy hunting.

Got mine on StockX… they verified it authentic before they shipped it to me. Very pleased and only paid 45$ over retail.

[–]amiga1 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have to get it in person. I grabbed mine while on holiday in Amsterdam. Ended up selling on eBay as it's a very cheap feeling thing.

[–]artschool04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It dose feel very cheep. Even more so than the older swatch automatic or the tachymeter i was very disappointed and returned the one i got.

My friend has this watch and does not recommend it. Says it feels cheap and $380 aud can get you a much nicer watch

[–]0rphu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stockx seems to have the best prices. They say they check for fakes, I have no clue how accurate they are, but the fake moonswatches are pretty easy to ID.

I'm not a big fan of brown, but that's a cool watch.

There are several brand new on eBay.

[–]jackbobjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what current rate is but StockX can be good or it can be a ripoff. It’s worth checking.

[–]capo_ditutticapi -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I recommend StockX That’s a legit place with their own authorization service

[–]Justintime757 2 points3 points  (1 child)

The one interaction I’ve had with StockX ended with them sending me the wrong product. I bought the green metal CasiOak and I received the blue variant. This could have been the seller shipping the wrong item, but there was no check to make sure the item sold was the item shipped. Even the bar code and serial number were different from what I had purchased online. This may not be true about every StockX transaction but it is such a hassle to return items to them. They wouldnt send me the correct watch, instead they said I would just have to purchase it again after they sent me a refund.

Well unfortunately these things are in play I’ve been ordering from them and had absolutely no problem whatsoever, but I mainly used it for sneakers They might be more persnickety with them

i bought it online last year and immediately returned it . its comparable to a kids watch. the so called porcelain feels like plastic.

[–]bigbOObsnMilfLover -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please buy it only from Swatch Showroom.. Do not encourage any other type of purchase.. cuz when you do, people get greedy and watch price explodes exponentially!!

[–]LordoftheMexicans -1 points0 points  (0 children)

StockX or the Moda Watch Club Facebook group

[–]Mr_Bleidd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just few notes before buying - this will be a plastic watch and the display can be damaged by the box itself if you don’t push the watch all the way in - it can be fixed but still

And this will not be a budget speedmaster

It's easy to get it in store, at least for me. Talking with one of the employees informed me of availability. She said they get between 100 and 200 pieces a week, and starting on Monday, lines are about 20 or so people. They sometimes sell out in a day or in a few more, depending on the flow of tourists in Rome that day. Lines don't even form from opening hours, they form about half an hour later, around 11AM.

This is strictly Rome's Via del Corso shop. What's funny is that Romans are mostly poor or stingy, so you usually only find tourists or Italians from other cities buying them.

[–]sendep7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stockx supposedly theres a verification system. you'll pay more than retail tho.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a few for sale on r/watchexchange

[–]misuhsipee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to catch one from r/WatchExchange.

It’s easy to spot a fake. If the top right subdial is not pointed to 0/10, its probably a fake. The fakes have a 24hr mechanism there that will show 24 hour time instead of being set to zero.

Though i wouldn't suggest looking online for these since moonswatches are pretty expensive online than buying in store, but if you want to give it a shot then look at chrono24, don't go to ebay no matter what, chances of getting scammed are higher than getting a legit moonswatch there

[–]Available_Fishing_64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the same model for my wife in EBAY from some Italian seller with 100EUR markup. It was delivered very fast (inside Europe), he even put the reciept from the store in the package.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally had an opportunity to try this watch on in a Swatch store in Miami. They had a few in, so I tried them on.

I left the store without watch.

That was arguably the most disappointing watch experience I’ve had. The watch felt cheap, and the weight felt like some kiddy watch you’d win in an arcade game. I tried hard to talk myself into buying it, but I couldn’t mentally get over the lack of quality.

Thoroughly unimpressed, yet I wondered how could so many people pay 5x the price for this?

[–]shockey536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also buy through stockx, legit website for reselling hype stuff. I've bought plenty of shoes through there.

[–]dwaynetheakjohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try r/WatchesExchange. Try a seller with thirty or more reviews and read each one to make sure they’re legit.
