Snoopy came to visit

After trying to track down a Snoopy for what seems like years, my wish finally came true a couple of days ago thanks to Kringkily. While there's a massive story that spans a few months, I thought I'd kick off the thread with some photos showing the Snoopy with its fellow moonwatch buddies :).

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm uber pleased that I've been able to rustle up these LE Speedies in pretty much new/excellent condition. Call me crazy but contrary to what I believe most people do, I've actually taken to wearing these LEs quite often.

The Snoopy hasn't been off my wrist since it arrived. I just love the 'Eyes on the stars' sentiment and the picture of one of my all time favourite characters being etched in what I reckon is a very tasteful way on such an iconic watch. I'll admit that I was a little concerned with how the piece might look in person but after having it, there's no doubt about it at all - my grail fully lives up to my expectations.

Too true George, no such thing as too big a collection. A meteorite Speedie next perhaps :).
