Thinking about trading a daytona ceramic black for a omega snoopy silver

[GoingPlaces]

No. I really like the Snoopy but I don't think of it as even with the Daytona. Do we know how much Snoopy's actually trade for? Not ask but trade.

AND you are considering trading a Rolex Daytona for a watch with Snoopy on the dial.

Gents, perhaps check a bit of history and the connection Omega, Snoopy and NASA will make sense after all.

The Omega is a much more rare and interesting watch imho. Very tastefully done and much nicer compared to the original.
Hand wound movement in a chrono is the way to go.

Make that trade and get a much better box as well

I'm a massive, massive Snoopy fan. For decades my mother and I have only sent each other Snoopy cards and we've bought countless Snoopy items. For that reason, this is the one watch I would trade a Rolex for (for that sentimental value). I would trade a SS Daytona for it, but I wouldn't trade a full YG Submariner for it. I think to make this trade you have to love Speedies, Snoopy (a lot!), and NASA's space history. For me, Snoopy alone would do it, and the fact that unworn this watch is going to keep climbing in value.

I would not get this watch to wear daily - I consider this one a collector's piece. I would not trade my only daily Rolex for a piece that I won't wear (the Snoopy). I think this has to be a "I have the Rolexes I really like, and I can get the Snoopy I want with this trade" kind of deal. Then, yes.

Yes, hand wound movement is the way to go when it's a fully blown cal. 321, not a watered down version with column wheel taken out.

As far as the connection between snoopy and NASA it is well documented. A re-edition of speedmaster with a snoopy slapped on the dial means very little.

Apparently it means approx 3.5x multiple above MSRP on the secondary market. So your interpretation of very little is different than most

Omega knocked it out of the park with this reference and the broader collector market agrees. This is not your run of the mill Speedy LE

[CoveWatch]

Personally its not a trade I'd even consider.. but of course it comes down to what you will want to put on your wrist. I would try to buy the Snoopy and test drive it first and see where it goes.. you can always sell the daytona after that and still get what you were offered.. if you sell the daytona too early, getting it back is not going to be fun.

[thepress83]

Absolutely no way would I make that trade. I've tried on the snoopy and the Daytona is on another level. The snoopy bubble will burst like every other Omega LE when they re-release it with a minor tweak.

[MichelleP]

I have both Snoopy and Daytona ceramic. I was able to get snoopy when it was released for retail. Prices are insane right now. Although I do love snoopy I much prefer Daytona.

Just saw this watch on watchbox studios. Around the 8:45 mark

[denmanproject]

No way Jose

[rollee1]

I assume this is a serious post and OP had done all his home work completely.

These 2 watches are completely different animals, a manual winding movement is always a novelty for me, ie a weekend watch at the barbe.

[GsurgBM]

No way I’d consider it. Daytona and speedy not in the same category to me. ESP with a cartoon dog on the dial. Nope nope nope.

Unless u love all things snoopy-related, I would not pay extra $4k
Even trade at best

Watch to watch, Daytona is a better overall piece imho (and I don’t even like the Daytona. Lol)
But this omega snoopy speedy has a cult-like following that’s hard to compare, even considering the super-popular Daytona.
Hence the value increase.

Do u really like the snoopy watch? Hard to believe that since u didn’t even realize it was a manual. Lol

Sounds to me like u are not happy with black Daytona... and u still want the white dial Daytona.
Go trade ur Daytona for a white one, even if u pay little extra.

[AJMarcus]

Is this serious? No way!!! Buy a gently used Speedy Pro and keep the Daytona. Lotta hype around the Snoopy. In fact, no one really knows why. But it’s just hype. It’s otherwise no better than the Speedy Pro imo.

[F1polesitter]

So many replies, yet few even know about the significance of the Silver Snoopy.

There's no right answer.
Regret? Why?

If you you've had your fun with the Daytona and like the Snoopy, go for it.
But from a value perspective, I would make the trade straight up with no cash. That would be a fair trade.

[EP32k2]

Get the snoopy. Nothing special about the Daytona. Snoopy speedys are only going up in value.

[MP5]

There is no significance. It's another LE by Omega. Want significant? Go buy some real speedmasters from the period. I bet it's cheaper than picking up one of the 1000+ unused Snoopies flippers are sitting on for a few years waiting to fleece. These are the 80s emu egg craze. A false market of speculations with no mind for the actual product.

Like i said, you can get a Royal Oak Chrono for this price, let that sink in

Thanks, your opinion is very valuable for me

I would get the Snoopy, it's hard to find an unworn one and you can pick another Daytona later on.

I wouldn't say most, if that's the case it'd be trading at 100k and none would come up in the secondary market.

Just a slightly over hyped run of the mill speedy LE, and this is coming from someone has extensive experience with them. My good friend has 2 in his safe for investment purposes.

[Vaxe]

No way

[Tulsa_WIS_88]

I would have a hard time with tying $25k of watch in a Speedy. While it's hard to find..we're still talking about a piece with nearly 2k units. Is it really that limited?

Personally - I would want to feel like I upgraded if I were to flip the Daytona. AP chrono, gold Rolex, etc. would be on my radar.

[ppalasthira]

If you like the Omega, why not?

I still don’t get why the snoopy is so popular. It doesn’t look like a the classic speedy at all. The majority of the value from the snoopy is from it being in mint/bnib condition. If you plan on wearing it then you’ll lose a decent amount of the value.

The beauty of the Daytona ceramic beyond its actual physical beauty is the fact that you can also wear it and it won’t lose much value. I wouldn’t trade a Daytona c for a snoopy. Feels like you’re trading down.

Starting to look at APs as well given the Daytona price range...

You should always get what you like even though a watch is over valued to others. To most folks the white snoopy is over valued.

Wow, the Silver Snoopy, that's a new one for me! The Speedy is Omega's crown jewel in their professional line and they often seem to have a LE version. IMHO, Snoopy aside, it's not in the same class as the Daytona in terms of case and movement. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Peanuts and Snoopy fan for many years, but it seems out of place on a professional watch. Though in today's market the Silver Snoopy may continue to appreciate. LE's of luxury goods is a great trick to push sales. Good luck in your decision and own what gives you pleasure. Cheers!

[StoryTime]

Please don’t, keep the Daytona and buy the snoopy separately if you have to!

[nick c]

Please don’t do it.

Typical Omega, with all of their "limited editions". I understand the history of the moonwatch, but I just cannot get behind the brand and their blah-like watches.

Just my opinion, so don't kill me.

[1Daytona]

I wouldn't do it. Not worth it even though Snoopy is limited. Rolex Daytona ceramic much more valuable and will appreciate more due to limited availability. You will always get your money back on your Daytona and you won't ever have trouble selling the Daytona in the future if you had to. Selling the Snoopy down the road would be more difficult IMO. You can get the same basic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch chrono for around $5000 new with a white or a black dial. Omega has many variations, check them out.

I had an Omega Apollo 11 35th Anniversary Moonwatch with Panda dial. Went up in value. After a while, the novelty wore off and I felt the watch was "gimmicky" and it was just another Omega Moonwatch with a different dial, nothing that special. Sold it and never looked back. I believe Rolex makes a better watch due to their movements and 904L stainless steel.

As we all know, watch purchases are very subjective-what might attract you may not be anything special for someone else. The bottom line is that if you really like it better than the Rolex, get it...although be prepared to miss your ceramic Daytona when you see it on someone else's wrist. Seller's remorse is not fun, been there, done that :)
