8️⃣2️⃣ sold out of 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ (that figure was shared here in the 📍conversation) that represents 16.40% of the planned sales figure. And this drop was live for a full month 👎🏽

Since the very beginning I raised the concern that the price was totally wrong: https://drop.com/buy/drop-invicta-1960-chronograph-watch/talk/2615399?utm_source=linkshare&referer=9958VR and conclusions here https://drop.com/buy/drop-invicta-1960-chronograph-watch/talk/2616610?utm_source=linkshare&referer=9958VR This big failure is not because Drop has never created a great bronze limited edition ⌚ We got one, with a good price, that was sold out (2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣⌚) in 2️⃣ weeks or less (it was also planned to 🏃🏻‍♂️ a full month): https://drop.com/buy/glycine-combat-sub-bronze-automatic-watch-m2 I 💭 someone here believed that after a successful bronze ⌚ they can just jack 🆙️ the price and nobody will notice 🤦🏻‍♂️ Well it's clear that didn't happen. How can you sell a ⌚ for just 💲💯 less but simultaneously you're seriously downgrading the final product: - Not made in 🇨🇭 but likely made in 🇨🇳 - Cheap (but good) 🇯🇵 quartz movement instead of a 🇨🇭 automatic movement. And I don't just mean price, but recognition. - Complicated legibility (tiny #️⃣) and no lume. - Made by Invicta, which doesn't get much appreciation compared to Glycline. But of course they could not use Glycine because this is not 🇨🇭 made. And that without considering we've got here https://drop.com/buy/88596 almost the same ⌚ but for 💲1️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ which is 💲💯➕ less! Oh and that ⌚ is made in 🇩🇪 But the collaboration team was quick to respond (and then 🔒 and hide the thread) trying to justify the outrageous price increase because: - This has sapphire domed crystal. I showed the price difference in Glycine ⌚ is negligible. - This has bronze case instead of stainless steel. I showed the price difference in a Glycine ⌚ is negligible. - This one is funny: because of the two previous facts, the cost of production increases like crazy, but without sharing any facts, like if anyone can believe that one just because someone come here and 🗣 so. And I really hope that was a lie 🙏🏻 Otherwise it's better for the collaboration team to learn how to design a product to a realistic (interesting) price point here, even if that price increases. - The funniest one: because the other 🇩🇪⌚ is under clearance and this 🇨🇳⌚ is 🆕️ (you know 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ model 0️⃣ km) then the rip-off is totally valid. As if that matters and magically makes the other 🆕️🇩🇪⌚ inferior 🙄 So I really hope the next collaborations will keep great prices instead of rip-offs because this ⌚ is indeed interesting and seems good. But by no means it is worth 💲2️⃣9️⃣9️⃣ here. And I 🗣 here because maybe that is a good "killer sale of the Invicta's MSRP" or also a good price for someone that finds the ⌚ nice (it is) but has no ℹ or comparison data with other ⌚ that provide a huge better value and appreciation for the 💸 I believe the collaboration team forgot that in Drop we make concessions to get great prices. For example: - Getting ⌚ under liquidation/clearance. - Getting previous, 🆕️ old stock models, usually no longer produced. - Buying ⌚ from gray market, that is ⌚ with no manufacturer's warranty. - Waiting weeks to get the ⌚ Finally, no matter what anyone can come to argue here, the fact is that this ⌚ got lackluster sales. Only 8️⃣2️⃣ sold. There's a reason for that... and I'm confident that many of us didn't find a ⌚ that matched the price 🤷🏻‍♂️
