I'm one who frankly....
doesn't see an issue here. Had an 'OG' SM, will have one again. Will also have, unless they sell them all out, a couple of these pretty quartz 'pretenders'.

. . . for a future crop of Professional owners. A shopkeeper in Malaysia who can't afford a Speedy Pro now gets a Speedy Swatch which whets his appetite for the real deal down the road. A brilliant bit of marketing, if I may say so.
Yes I hear that and get your point..
My wife and I run a marketing consultancy for luxury beauty and lifestyle so this is not a new discussion the devil is in the details…again would Rolex do this?…I think if this were a “kids” watch it would be a little easier to swallow but I do think you ...
