VII · The Rarity Premium Power law · hover for detail
Headline resale numbers hide a power law. Standard MoonSwatches trade near retail. The Mission-to-Moonshine Gold Snoopy clears $9,000. Huit Blanc's randomised screws set up the same dynamic.

VIII · Read the Tape Five live signals · 30-day watchlist
We are not going to refresh this page hourly. You can. Here is the dashboard we'd watch over the next thirty days to figure out whether Royal Pop tracks MoonSwatch, Blancpain, or something new.
Sold filter, not asking listings.Filter to sold-only and watch the median. Above $1,000 for a standard Lépine on day three = MoonSwatch territory. Under $700 by day seven = Blancpain or worse.
New listings per day is the supply read. MoonSwatch hit ~400 on day one and stayed above 100/day for a month. Royal Pop under 50/day for week one means the queue cap is working.
Walk a Swatch boutique on day seven. Stock back in the case = bull case dead. Empty velvet card = flipper pricing power compounds.
Randomised screws create thousands of variants. Configurations matching a known palette (Mondrian, Lichtenstein, Royal Oak factory colourway) trade at a premium. The rest are normal Huit Blancs.
About three weeks in, expect a flood of "is anyone actually wearing this" posts. Answer = yes, prices hold. Answer = "I sold mine", floor caves overnight.
