Original Cocktail Time while in the office today
…again
Did I get the crystal fixed on my watch today? Yes I did. Was it the largest of 6 total crystals I ordered? Yes it was. Is the movement on the left working? Yes it is. Is the movement on the right working? Heck no because of course it doesn’t even take the same size battery as the other one and it’s not one of the 6 sizes I have.
Well done @NurseDave .
nicely done

Highly tempting…maybe even enough to pacify my want for the real thing but ultimately…it’s just not the real thing…but still pretty fun! Great variety of available colors as well, in true Swatch style! And yes, these are official Omega/Swatch offerings!

Honestly pretty cool stuff, and totally makes sense seeing how Omega is under the Swatch umbrella.
As someone with a sapphire sandwich Speedy Pro, though, I can promise there is nothing that will pacify that itch if you desire the real deal!!
That’s a great deal on a swatch as a quality watch but also as one who owns the original with a hesalite Crystal And the Gemini speedy save your cash until you can get the real one
Also heard on a YouTuber's comment that it will be hard to get. Limited edition, only sold in certain stores and limit 2 each.

Will I probably buy one however….. yep! LOL. Still think it is a great idea and will send the watch “elitists” into a hissy-fit. Even having the originals. I can appreciate the fact it will open up the Speedy to those that have always wanted one. I for one applaud it
I’m going to get the Pluto Watch out of respect
Though I really want the Uranus watch for endless giggles from @Majorrich

I'm just having fun. It's all good. Omega/Swatch manufactures all sorts of Speedy variations to appeal to a wide audience. This one will hopefully bring more watch nuts into the fold.
I guess we will be going to the Swatch store at the New York Casino while in Vegas LOL
