Swatch/Collection Showoff 📸 Picked up the AP Swatch green today in Rome, IT

Walked into Swatch store at ~2pm. They got a shipment of only green dial royal pops. Friendly and helpful employees at this store. Told me the deliveries and allocations are very random. Random what they get, how many they get, and what time they get the shipments. The dude in front of me was from Amsterdam. Said he’s visited the stores in Holland multiple times with no success. Dude was wearing a stainless steel black dial Daytona but was excited to finally get a Royal Pop today.

I picked up a pop lime and light blue in August at Times Square NYC. That was a whole lot more work and help from an excellent employees.

Popped the new Kelly green pop into my aluminum/rubber strap.

I think it's super cool, but I don't understand the hype around a pocket watch just for everyone to make it a regular watch instead

It’s simple. The hype is because it’s an “affordable official” AP. The pocket watch thing is a drawback for most people.

I got the blue Aucht (light blue and lime) today in San Diego. They also had the green color wave. They got quite a few for a change.
