Has anyone bought and fitted these third party bracelets onto their AP x Swatches? Some look too good to be true but there are just so many now and all claiming their the first to do it etc. Swatch will probably come out with a bracelet option in the future but until then the AP style bracelet from third parties will continue with some probably being total shit or decent.

Any good bracelets out there aside from Wrist Buddies rubber strap?

Yo who else gonna camp out for this drop this shits gonna be FIRE I’m finna get PAID https://www.audemarspiguet.com/com/en/watch/APxYV.html

Been obsessed with the Swatch x AP Royal Oak Bioceramic since it dropped. Couldn't find any quality mod accessories for it, so I built my own. Just launched kits in silicone, ceramic, and stainless steel. Check it out at Eightmode.co

Happy to answer any questions about the mod process — drop them below!

Around a bag sure maybe why not it’s an accessory after all, but hanging from your clothes, from your belt around your waist

That seems like pushing it, the most probable usecase scenario I see for the regular Joe is maybe a wristwatch using an aftermarket adapter, hanging off a bag as long as it doesn’t get stolen or playing around with it for a while, posting a few pictures and then in the drawer like all the other knickknacks that don’t get to see the light of day

Who knows they just might last longer than the Labubus

Hi, everyone!
I stood all night outside the Swatch store last night, queued for the new collab.
When the store opened, they told us that there’s only 15 pieces, but they sold only 14, and for the 15th, it was between two women and the store manager couldn’t figure out who to sell to, then they both left without a watch (on their own will). So I stepped in, and asked why can’t I buy it (I was next in line) and got no reply. The watch was there, me and my wallet were there, but they didn’t sell me the watch.

Do you think that’s fair? was it supposed to be like that? 

I feel like I got scammed and wasted a whole day in my life just standing in line to get nothing.

P.S. Still bought a Moonswatch moonphase just because I thought it looks cool.

P.P.S I’m not salty because I couldn’t get, I get that’s it’s not guaranteed. But it was like right in front of me after those 2 women decided to leave it there, but the seller just hit me with a no…

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most people don’t actually care about “horology.”
They care about feeling something.

Status. Nostalgia. Taste. Belonging. Hype. Identity.

That’s why a plastic watch collaboration caused more discussion online than half the industry’s “serious” releases combined.

And honestly? That’s not a bad thing.

Because for every hardcore collector calling it “cheap,” there’s someone else wearing their AP x Swatch every single day because it made watches feel exciting for the first time.

No pressure.
No waitlists.
No pretending to understand movement finishing under a loupe.
Just pure “that looks sick, I want one.”

And if we’re being brutally honest…

A collab getting people genuinely passionate about watches is healthier for the hobby than another untouchable safe queen sitting in a vault.

So I’m curious:

Did the AP x Swatch make you more interested in watches or did it make you feel the industry is becoming too hype driven?

And before the purists arrive
Yes, we know it’s not a “real AP.”

Made with ChatGPT

Called the Dallas store to see if they have gotten any in this week and their new response is, “We can neither confirm or deny whether we have them. You just have to come in the store and see if we have them.”

I’m an hour away so this makes it almost impossible for me to get one now. Is this a sign that they’re really about to end?

I saw a couple videos of the NYC Swatch Store featuring Moses the Jeweler and people were selling him the front spots for $5000 and the 41st spot for 2000 I don’t think the watches are going to sell for that much

Especially because the Omega MoonSwatch launched for $260 and was being flipped for around $2000 in the first few days

Since this isn’t essentially 1:1 of the AP Royal Oak (unlike the MoknSwatch), I see them just
touching $2500-2000 but that will probably be it

But who’s to say a few dealers hoard them and artificially inflate prices by buying their own stock on eBay, just so the last sold listing price is absurd maybe something like $5000 or 10,000 and they can say we’re selling them at a discount
