8οΈβ£2οΈβ£ sold out of 5οΈβ£0οΈβ£0οΈβ£ (that figure was shared here in the πconversation) that represents 16.40% of the planned sales figure. And this drop was live for a full month ππ½
search
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 β We got one, with a good price, that was sold out (2οΈβ£5οΈβ£0οΈβ£β) in 2οΈβ£ weeks or less (it was also planned to ππ»ββοΈ a full month):
https://drop.com/buy/glycine-combat-sub-bronze-automatic-watch-m2
I π someone here believed that after a successful bronze β they can just jack ποΈ the price and nobody will notice π€¦π»ββοΈ Well it's clear that didn't happen. How can you sell a β for just π²π― less but simultaneously you're
seriously downgrading
the final product: - Not made in π¨π but likely made in π¨π³ - Cheap (but good) π―π΅ quartz movement instead of a π¨π automatic movement. And I don't just mean price, but recognition. - Complicated legibility (tiny #οΈβ£) 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 π¨π made.
And that without considering we've got here
https://drop.com/buy/88596
almost the same β but for π²1οΈβ£7οΈβ£0οΈβ£ which is π²π―β less! Oh and that β is made in π©πͺ But the collaboration team was quick to respond (and then π and hide the thread) trying to justify the outrageous price increase because: - This has sapphire domed crystal. I showed the price difference in Glycine β is negligible. - This has bronze case instead of stainless steel. I showed the price difference in a Glycine β 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 π£ so. And I really hope that was a lie ππ» 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 π©πͺβ is under clearance and this π¨π³β is ποΈ (you know 2οΈβ£0οΈβ£2οΈβ£0οΈβ£ model 0οΈβ£ km) then the rip-off is totally valid. As if that matters and magically makes the other ποΈπ©πͺβ inferior π
So I really hope the next collaborations will keep great prices instead of rip-offs because this β is indeed interesting and seems good. But by no means it is worth π²2οΈβ£9οΈβ£9οΈβ£
here
. And I π£
here
because
maybe
that is a good "killer sale of the
Invicta's
MSRP" or also a good price for someone that finds the β nice (it is) but has no βΉ or comparison data with other β that provide a
huge
better value and appreciation for the πΈ I believe the collaboration team forgot that in Drop we make concessions to get great prices. For example: - Getting β under liquidation/clearance. - Getting previous, ποΈ old stock models, usually no longer produced. - Buying β from gray market, that is β with no manufacturer's warranty. - Waiting weeks to get the β
Finally, no matter what anyone can come to argue here,
the fact is that this
β
got lackluster sales
. Only 8οΈβ£2οΈβ£ sold. There's a reason for that... and I'm confident that many of us didn't find a β that matched the price π€·π»ββοΈ

If the price tag were lower I would have bought in. That was the only sticking point for me.
