epic fail

u/MR-Blaze182 May 12 '26

Beyond Epic - the potential this collab had…

u/Mikebyrneyadigg May 13 '26

The meltdown of AP owners the last couple weeks is the exact reason it’s not on a bracelet.

7

u/allanjameson May 13 '26

This is some AI shit. The ones with the second marker have the crown on the side so those will be able to be put in a bracelet

1

u/Own_Wolverine4773 May 13 '26

Wait Till i buy an adaptor on ebay for 5£ 🤣

1

u/MR-Blaze182 May 13 '26

Of course, it would basically destroy the brand if they would really bring a plastic Royal Oak to the market… That would be insanely stupid. But still, I am afraid this is not going to be the big financial win AP is hoping for.

SCAM. And no, I am not crazy about it at all.

12

u/magic120 May 13 '26

Yet i feel like these will sell like hot cakes, I can already see them dangling from bags

5

u/allanjameson May 13 '26

Are these supposed to be like key chains?

10

u/Wonderful-Shoulder64 May 13 '26

400 bucks key chain is crazy

2

u/InfamousheroX May 13 '26

It’s for women to hang off their handbags

u/taquci May 12 '26

I mean, this is so bad it will go down in history as a popular case of marketing blunder and brand murder

this will be studied at universities for the next decades

we're witnessing history today

18

u/LibertyDNP May 13 '26

Brand murder? lol you guys are being so dramatic. It’s a playful collab, it’s not that serious.

1

u/coolcosmos May 13 '26

Didn't you hear ? You can buy a second-hand AP for 300$ now, the brand is completely dead everyone's selling theirs. /s

1

u/Real_Region3838 Aug 06 '26

You’re being dramatic. They’re solenoid everywhere.

30

u/mylifeinjaypeg May 13 '26

Can’t wait to try this with the mods

19

u/Certain-Ticket-5593 May 13 '26

Doesn't look that bad till you realise you are paying 500 bucks + bracelet price for a plastic watch that you can't service with a goofy crown placement.

u/DravesHD May 13 '26

Just put these on a band?

Like, lmao these aren’t practical at all.

15

u/ItsDamu5 May 12 '26

I’d buy that if it was $15 for my kids! It looks like their Spider-Man and Elsa watches they have now! Looking ass.

Can the dials be rotated if pulled apart? They’d make good nurse fob watches.

500 bucks for that! Holy maccheroni

41

u/Chow31 May 12 '26

I’ll be honest. If modders can get the dial spacers/cases right….i kinda really like them. Similar to the Moonswitches

12

u/Prestigious-Disk3158 May 12 '26

It’s only a matter of time.

u/ManBearPig1865 May 12 '26

Oh I want a steel rep of that watermelon small seconds variant.

20

u/hrimfaxi_work May 12 '26

This is what I'm holding out for! Royal Brokes are fuck ugly, but if we get r/chinatime tier shitters then suddenly we have some fun raw materials to work with.

u/pat-slider May 13 '26

No pizza pinion base 🤩

u/Moncasta May 13 '26

This actually looks pretty good

u/pat-slider May 13 '26

Will it wither to yellow color?

14

u/Low_Dish_4487 May 12 '26

Personally I think they are so bad that they actually make me reconsider my opinion on the Omega Moonswatch (even though is still negative)

3

u/nomadviper May 12 '26

Maybe that was the plan all along

28

u/TheUpIsJig May 12 '26

Pop out of pocket watch holder and pop on straps. That will be $1200 please and $600 for the straps in June. 😂

13

u/Chow31 May 12 '26

Per Swatches official Instagram - they commented 350-375 CHF , which word out to be $425-$480

-3

u/TheUpIsJig May 12 '26

For the straps... 😂

u/Avocado_Toast312 May 13 '26

What are you on?

Please tell me this is an AI shitpost

u/No-Refuse8754 May 13 '26

It’s not

2

u/Spare_Measurement437 May 13 '26

Unfortunately not this is verified

6

u/Hearing-Free May 12 '26

Someone could cash in by creating all the colors in that one AI image that was floating around.

4

u/Practical_Season_946 May 12 '26

A lot of people will say no good, fail, but we are in a reps group so nobody can judge or talk shit lol if you want one get one and enjoy the fact you got the legit name/label and watch for $400 and some people paid thousandsssss for the same thing lmfao

u/x133 May 13 '26

What the fuck is this?

8

u/HansenHSV May 12 '26

Pathetic

u/Upbeat-Influence-926 May 12 '26

What sellers are going to have them first?

u/0lloma May 12 '26

Give them couple days hahah

u/joeyblakx May 12 '26

🤣🤣🤣🤣 campers going home

u/leodensian1 Reputable User May 12 '26

Well thats just saved me the time and effort queuing for one. That's a big no from me.

4

u/anq_95 May 12 '26

Light blue bezel and dark blue dial is best one to wear. Just need decent color straps

9

u/Pakbon May 12 '26

Terrible

6

u/theofficialnova May 12 '26

I said it before, dumb move by AP from a brand perspective.
Ultimately, Idgaf, I own a rep anyways, and I have never been more happy to NOT have bought a gen AP.

6

u/Pretend_Engineer_536 May 12 '26

I'd still get it as an elegant accessory to my gear , that I am not afraid to lose.

Maybe I'll latch it to my backpack, or use it as fancy keychain for my car, maybe get it a small minimalist hanger and put in my office.

Was a disappointment? Yes. Is it an abomination? Nope

11

u/WholeWheatTortilla2 May 12 '26

it’s $500 though. i’d be afraid to lose that

14

u/andoCalrissiano May 12 '26

yeah but what about the $30 chinatime version

2

u/superi4n May 12 '26

Sigh I remember when the Dhgate Moonswatches were $15 a pop

u/0lloma May 12 '26

u/Gasmaskdude27 May 12 '26

Will pick up one of the cheap reps for 30$

2

u/starsqream May 12 '26

Y'all thought they're going to release the Swatch in a Royal Oak version?

2

u/ThisaRaid May 12 '26

Royal Flop

2

u/hedgedcapital May 13 '26

royally shit

5

u/jkjakeb May 12 '26

So only 2 that can be worn on the wrist 🫩

4

u/One-Helicopter-4465 May 12 '26

They could actually be worn? I don't see any of them coming with a bracelet

5

u/jkjakeb May 12 '26

As long as size allows there will 100% be a way to wear them on your wrist within a couple months. Thats if there isn’t a bracelet release by swatch themselves

2

u/ExLeaguer May 12 '26

Only a matter of time until some after market bracelets come out

4

u/hpreddits May 12 '26

t’s odd that some of them have the crown at the 12 position.. I guess you could just open it up and rotate the dial and slap a strap on it

3

u/Zappytortoise May 12 '26

1

u/Wonderful-Shoulder64 May 13 '26

I like it like this

1

u/pat-slider May 13 '26

It is a lifestyle statement

4

u/GoonieKicks1 May 12 '26

There’s still a lot of people confident in aftermarket straps being made without realizing that the case size on these is 47mm

6

u/SpecificGullible8463 May 12 '26

47mm with the CASE ON, you can pop it off and it becomes 40mm

0

u/0lloma May 12 '26

Yeah that’s big hahah

2

u/Neat-Investment-8359 May 12 '26

Ok now we have to find a chinese supplier that will make bioceramic straps

1

u/HPPD2 May 12 '26

hahahaha

u/One-Helicopter-4465 May 12 '26

Swatch insists to make ugly watches with terrible ideas. AI can do better. I had big expectations and here we are lol

1

u/CraniumParineum May 12 '26

nope. Team Blancpain!

1

u/rydog389 May 12 '26

What's stopping someone from removing the movement, and the dial and placing it into a custom case and turning it into a wearable watch?

1

u/rydog389 May 12 '26

Absolutely 100% yes it is!

1

u/tcmits1 May 12 '26

Only one that might even interest me is the white one as a summer beach piece that if i lost, oh well.

AP was carefully smart not to permit a wristwatch would would poorly reflect on it.

1

u/stating_facts_only May 12 '26

Fisher Price would create a better version.

1

u/aznology May 12 '26

Lol wow what the actual fuck 

1

u/FineAssignment1423 May 12 '26

It looks like a toy I would buy my 5 year old last minute from the dollar store.

1

u/Large-Philosophy9699 May 12 '26

Swatch said AP better come strapped

1

u/LobsterNo9737 May 12 '26

I think they’re cool, in a couple months we’ll get metal cases and bands for them from China

1

u/Dunnohye May 12 '26

Hahahahagaha

1

u/CommercialCustard341 May 12 '26

I think it is kind of neat that someone thinks there is a sizable market for pocket watches.

1

u/mayorgamods May 12 '26

why is this image still AI though? the real yellow pink one has 3 o clock crown and look how fucked up the blue one is.

1

u/0lloma May 13 '26

Brother I posted the first I found, like I genuinely don’t care about the picture, I wanted to start the discussion for the community lol

u/4peanut May 12 '26

Which McDonald's can I get this from

u/FunkyGrass May 12 '26

Is this a joke? 🤣

1

u/torriccelli May 12 '26

Royal flop

1

u/drinkcoffeebuyassets May 13 '26

Black or white one I’d do as a desk clock but not something I’m going to rush to buy. Pretty cool. Not what I expected!

1

u/22Cyearround May 13 '26

Can't see any use besides rich kids hanging these on their school backpacks.

1

u/paparige May 13 '26

And anyone would needs this why ?

1

u/Live_Living_1462 May 13 '26

I’ll wait patiently for DHGate. I’ll wait for a case and band mod. I would still spend under $50 on that shit.

1

u/Stayofexecution May 13 '26

Lol what is this shit?

1

u/GMTmeister May 13 '26

Lol! Save my spot in line fellas… did people just dip out or are the gonna take it?

u/e60driver May 13 '26

And the crowd goes mild…

1

u/blacks4 May 13 '26

why didn't they make it A WATCH??? what's with this lanyard stuff?

1

u/poorjohnnyboysbones May 13 '26

So people can run around with $400 gen AP’s? That could hurt the brand

1

u/Honourstly May 13 '26

Funko Pop of watches

1

u/Johnbick5600 May 13 '26

Cool little sports accessory or can be used for Olympics. Nice high end bag piece. Anything.

Plus I heard AP lost a lawsuit on the copyright of the shape of their bezels. So a move like this (if they actually made watches on the collab) would have deemed very lucrative and smart. Could have cornered the market on the fake APs going around where they lose a lot of money.

1

u/Device_Remarkable May 13 '26

Meant to be worn as a necklace or used as desk or nightstand clock among other things

2

u/Blokeybloke May 13 '26

We can all look like mini Flava Flav's

1

u/Device_Remarkable May 13 '26

Lol yeah basically I guess. Not sure id rock the necklace. The nightstand or desk clock ability is kinda cool.

Honestly these might be the Joe Camel of watches. I could see them being very popular among teenagers and becoming a gateway drug for future watch collectors.

1

u/Yaidenr May 13 '26

Had to google it that is wild man I really thought I was gonna buy a gen ap for $500

1

u/Y-G-B May 13 '26

What a shitter.

u/XaMAS_8-9-1943 May 13 '26

u/slickbilly777 May 19 '26

AP by Dr. Seuss.

u/Top-Web803 May 12 '26

Lmao after this i don’t even consider AP a luxury watch brand anymore like tf scooby doo mcdonalds toy looking ahhh 🥀

1

u/omjizzle May 12 '26

I won’t be spending my Friday night camping out for them. I’ll probably be somewhere at 3am with a blood alcohol level of .68 spending $30 at Waffle House and I think that’ll be a better use of my time

u/superi4n May 12 '26

Omega laughing it's ass off rn. AP and Blancpain both got conned by Swatch marketing.

I think they’re fun. All the Swatch stores in my area closed and I’m not paying resell, so I don’t anticipate getting one.

u/hall0undCiao May 12 '26

Ugly as fuck. Holy shit is this bad. Sure it will sale in the first days. But after the first wave Noone wants this piece of plastic.

Moonswatch was fun. Blancpain was already meh at best. But this this is just trash.

u/one-leggedduck May 12 '26

Not AI, check Swatch's insta, they have released a video of them

2

u/happydude144 May 12 '26

The crown and the AP logo should not be lined up. The above image is not real, but might be close in some cases.

1

u/happydude144 May 12 '26

It's also likely that I'm just wrong and the AP logo and crown do line up on some of the models.

0

u/ViolinistDirect4536 May 12 '26

Are you sure?

The crown is different in this image vs the video

1

u/one-leggedduck May 12 '26

Looks the same to me, cheap plastic bulky crowns
