If you don’t mind me asking, what was your purchase history at the omega boutique to be offered the snoopy?
Thanks so much for all the well wishes from the friends here!

I would say this. I am certainly not a big spender (4-5 watches from both Omega boutique and my AD). But, I have a long term relationship with them, committed early, put down my deposit and waited just like everyone else.

Most important, I really enjoy and value my friendships with both places and they valued mine.

Wishing all here a great 4th weekend ahead

Contentment is a amazing feeling when you finally get “the” watch that has such a unmistakable attraction.

Great question. I think for us ole timers.. we have gone through the highs and lows of collecting from Patek to AP and many brands across. At this time, I think the collection has all the basis covered. Content.. happy .. good state of mind

Thanks Bri, Richie and friends!

Black version of the ceramic Daytona is completely chocolate sexy.. just loving it and I prefer the black over white. Snoopy so far just has so many amazing details… special piece in a league of its own.

AD/Boutiques alike are profit focused entities and while some have gone off rails, some have remained fair, outstanding, transparent and absolutely stand-up. In my quest to remain patient, I have to admit I almost gave it up despite a reasonable purchase history. Still, being positive and keeping the eyes on the stars... prevailed after all!

Well, after a 4+ years wait for one and 2+ year wait for the other, somehow the stars were aligned and the waiting journey finally ended this week. Any 1 of these birds can be a collector's blessing or curse since it is hard to get better than this.. 2 of these beauts in one week is just hard to express in words.. out of this world!

Just super thankful to my AD/boutique for being such great chaps and kudos to them for helping me end this journey right here.. this is IT!

For all of you still waiting, keep the optimism and hope going













Congrats Fred !!!
