Played with some strap set ups!

Visited the swatch boutique in Paris!
Wife came away with this

After hemming and hawing since they came out my wife fell in love with the Pink Moonphase. What really sealed the deal is the new rubber straps they have for the Moonswatch. I have a Mission to Mars and the strap fits my bigger wrist fine. My wife tried it on and couldn't even get it to Velcro. She tried one on with the new strap, and next thing you know we're walking out of the store with that Pink Bag! Unfortunately the Pink Rubber strap is on back order so she may not get to wear it for a while.

Have the prices for these kind of come back down to earth (lol) ?

Last I checked was when these first came out and were going for something ridiculous like $1000. but now it seems like you could get it on stockx or elsewhere for pretty much MSRP ($300 ish) ?

I'm nowhere close to an official swatch store, so only online purchase for me, and not all are available directly through swatch so... other marketplaces are my only choice.

Some of the originals (moon, earth, sun, mars, I think) are available for online purchase directly from swatch!
Prices for non-limited models are definitely back to normal, but there are still a TON of fakes out there.

Yea I saw! Glad they finally did that.

Do you know how much the mission to moonphases go these days? I see them go for 300-500 depending on the marketplace, but I'm just so unfamiliar with this space that I don't even know where to start looking and what marketplaces are trustworthy.

That sounds about right. I usually trust StockX because of their verification process, but it’s still not perfect (I would say 90% sure you will get a genuine piece if you pay the slight premium, but as always be careful if something seems too good to be true). If you do get a fake they have a solid return policy though since they rely on people suggesting them due to their verification.
