Is it too late to give an opinion on this? A few thoughts…
1. The 3861 Sapphire is a great watch! I have one and also an 1861 and an Ed White, too. The 3861 stepped dial, Omega symbol and the movement— It works for me! But you have to really like the Moonwatch. It’s not a watch that has the oh-wow allure of your Aquanaut or even the Daytona. It’s like having a Japanese Market Casio G-Shock, you know it’s cool…but no one else does. 2. Re the OB. It just depends. A sales associate who is straight with you will tell you how it’s going to go down, or at least share what they have seen and know. You’re in Malaysia…not sure how that will work for you. I didn’t put my name down on day 1 for a Snoopy, wanting an Ed White 321 instead. With 5 OB purchases behind me I was told that I “should” be able to get a Snoopy in 2022 (1861, ST1, 50th Apollo, 3861, Ed White 321). What does that mean to you? Well, I think Omega is trying to fulfill demand. Historically, though they like the secondary market demand, they also do try to make the sale directly with the customer…because that leads to more purchases. 3. The Snoopy value prop. I doubt they will drop much in value, but unless you are ok with paying the premium for grey, then it’s really up to you. I hate the whole grey market thing and just avoid it always. If it doesn’t bother you and you want the watch now, it solves a lot of problems for you. I’ve seen it in the flesh and it’s great looking. Best of luck!!! |
