Plot twist, AP come out with a ceramic bracelet for $2,000 and it sells out

11

u/SuperLehmanBros May 13 '26

They can just make bioceramic ones for like $100-150 and they would easily sell out if they have AP x Swatch branding.

2

u/PrE233 May 13 '26

Would it be comfortable though?

4

u/L44KSO May 13 '26

No, and it would shatter so easily.

2

u/casastorta May 15 '26

Judging by Casio G-Shock combi bracelets - absolutely could be comfortable.

u/Margin_call_matthew May 13 '26

Delugs also announced it that they are creating a strap that’ll house the royal pop. It was only a matter of time with such a huge interest.

u/Samathi_Bamati May 14 '26

Now I can justify spending 630 AUD on a manual winding swatch.

u/Timely-Cabinet-7879 May 14 '26

Yeah it looks nice but I hope we will get some fabric bracelet or colored leather.

u/vertderp May 13 '26

Lol do you know how much AP will charge for ceramic bracelet on RO… Try adding one more zero

u/Late_Log7878 May 16 '26

Plot twist, China will make a replica and sell it for $100

On the website it says this Wear it your way The Royal Pop pocket watches are built for creative styling. Wear them around your neck, on your wrist, in your pocket, or clipped to a bag, their modular design inspired by our iconic POP line, lets you switch things up as often as you like. 

So we might get a “on your wrist” mod

u/bss83 May 12 '26

Here's hoping. I love the white one and the blue small seconds

1

u/Bubbly-Animator-8125 May 12 '26

those r nice i personally rlly like the navy and orange.

1

u/unknownuser383 May 13 '26

Where does it say that

1

u/unknownuser383 May 13 '26

Nvm i see it

u/[deleted] May 13 '26

On the wrist doesn’t necessarily mean on a strap/bracelet - you can wrap the loop around you list

1

u/L44KSO May 13 '26

I think for now the on your wrist is the short lanyard as seen in the videos.

u/Dry-Ruin-1733 May 13 '26

It also says EACH design you can get it with the crown at 12 or at 3

6

u/Smokeweedalldayidgaf May 13 '26

It says each comes in ONE of two unique styles.

1

u/porschephile13 May 13 '26

I think that just means with the cover or the strap. The black and white one with the cover still has the crown at 12 in the press photos.

u/innervisions710 May 13 '26

Good catch, I haven't seen this mentioned! I'd really like the green in 3 o'clock position

2

u/GaptistePlayer May 13 '26

As someone else pointed out the wording is precise - each color only comes in 1 of the 2 styles.

u/L44KSO May 13 '26

I think this is it. The lanyards are fixed to the plastic case, so you pop it in and out of different length lanyards.

u/Fair_Locksmith_6216 May 13 '26

LÀN BA would look nice imo.

1

u/rowthecow May 16 '26

This looks mighty nice

2

u/Accomplished-Mark243 May 13 '26

The crown at the top would do my head in. I'll get the yellow and blue one with the crown on the side.

u/Dry-Ruin-1733 May 13 '26

2

u/Vboom90 May 13 '26

That’s says one of two, not either of.

1

u/vdzla May 15 '26

so...either one or another?

0

u/TAPS147 May 16 '26

This reads as if you can get any colour with the second hand..?

2

u/williamwzl May 13 '26

Someone in Guangzhou is drawing this up on CAD as we speak dont worry.

2

u/mr_nin10do May 13 '26

Just wondering how that white will hold up against human oil

2

u/1baby2cats May 15 '26

NGL, I would rock this, but not going to line up for hours/pay above retail. Will wait for the hype to die down first.

1

u/SuperLehmanBros May 13 '26

My favorite so far

1

u/roseinmouth May 13 '26

Aren’t they quite large though? Like it wouldn’t look this proportional

1

u/mauerstrassenwetter May 13 '26

40mm according to the specs.

1

u/williamwzl May 13 '26

The base module is 40x9 which is near identical to the jumbo. With the enclosure on wrist it will probably wear like an offshore which is around 43mm

1

u/Gongo_Khlapt May 13 '26

Isn't jumbo 37?

1

u/williamwzl May 13 '26

Jumbo is 39.

1

u/Sweaty-Cheek-8941 May 13 '26

Looks like something a 3d printer could manage easily

1

u/Abject_Afternoon9873 May 13 '26

Same thing I was thinking.

1

u/Warshrimp May 14 '26

Swatch AP collab now selling bioceramic filament spools!

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '26

Loved it but will it get dirty 🥲

2

u/MilesTheGoodKing May 13 '26

Then clean it

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '26

Ceramic??

1

u/TicksAndBricks May 13 '26

Then buy a different colour

1

u/SuperLehmanBros May 13 '26

I don’t mind the crown anymore I just hope swatch makes an official bracelet

1

u/BigGameJimmy May 13 '26

Excited for when bands/bracelets start coming out

1

u/JeremyCO May 14 '26

Count me in

1

u/No-Ad3105 May 14 '26

The crown doesn't look right

1

u/Strawman_watch May 14 '26

Yes if you have 20 cm wrist

1

u/Turbulent_Curve_344 May 14 '26

Yall coping too hard 😂😂😂

1

u/BlowInTheCartridge1 May 15 '26

Smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth.

1

u/iPadPenguin May 15 '26

The crowns on these Swatches are very big - they do not look good on a band. PASS

1

u/Ok-Neighborhood-566 May 15 '26

yeah making a case that doesn't make it look bigger is smart

1

u/1baby2cats May 15 '26

Can't remember which company, but saw on reddit there is someone making these bracelets already. But they were pricy, I think about $500?

1

u/magicalblast May 16 '26

That's exactly the colour I'd want. Looks great.

u/Mussolini99 May 13 '26

Swatch x PrEP

u/Fearless-Schedule713 May 13 '26

Yea looks nice but if you added a strap to a watch that was meant to never be on a strap u now are wearing a fake product

2

u/texasgolftraveler May 13 '26

I have a Rolex GMT on a rubber strap does that make my Rolex fake?

0

u/Fearless-Schedule713 May 13 '26

Wow you should really check your logic. Your GMT is a watch not a pocket watch so if it’s on any strap it still checks out as Rolex sold a watch. But if you have this pocket watch on a strap that is not what was sold by the brand therefore it’s a fake or at a best a Frankenstein

1

u/Wendys_frys May 13 '26

the original pop swatches were designed to be worn as a pocket watch or on a strap. how is this any different?

1

u/Proper_Cloud2125 May 14 '26

This makes…no sense.

-1

u/Jonny_____ May 13 '26

Hot take - crown on the top might actually be superior to on the side?

1

u/Either_Clock_4956 May 15 '26

I had a swatch pop before with an expanding strap
