I got one after 8 months with no deposit from the Omega Boutique in London, had previously bought an Ed White 321 from during the pandemic (only had to wait 5 days for that one). I think you can get one if you strike up a rapport with the boutique owner and are obviously a watch lover and not a dealer.

17 months and a 10% deposit here with the OB in Manchester (Trafford Centre)
Had a few watches from them previously and ended up second on their list which was a strong result. London dominated the early deliveries so had quite a wait but well worth it in the end. I have just put in an EOI with the same Omega Boutique for the Bond Blue Seamaster. |

I went in to my boutique to look at a regular moonwatch and the salesman mentioned he had a snoopy out back (obviously already spoken for). He took it out so I could have a look and it was glorious. I loved the back so much, just fun. Wish I could have bought it. Oh well. Guess I'll wait for that recession that people have been talking about for... yeah, forever. haha.

That was my experience here in Canada as well. Mind you, my wait was 7 months for the 321 |

I've spoken to several ADs and they've just said no chance

Saw a couple of while back from trusted sellers for about 19-20k. Far cry from when they were at >30k.

Got mine in 3 months, but knew the boutique manager well and purchased a SS world timer, Seamaster diver SS black on a rubber strap and an Aquaterra Beijing

I was on a Snoopy waitlist through a local AD since April 2020. They contacted me this week to tell me they were returning everyone’s deposit as they haven’t received a single Snoopy to-date.

I went grey.... I saw one for sub $20k from a very reputable dealer and just went for it. It's mint. Had it in a day. So happy I did it.
First time I've gone grey for a watch...but got sick of waiting and I have this fear they'll stop production sooner rather than later. Mostly just happy I can enjoy the watch which I've wanted for years...and can stop overthinking the whole situation. I walked over the the 5th Ave boutique and they outfitted it with a new strap and deployant. It's perfect now. Crappy pics but you get the idea : ) |

What strap is that? I was told it’s not possible to fit a deployant on the OEM strap |

Deployant is: 094521833 It doesn't show up in their system as compatible - but it looks nice and maintains the texture/look of the original. I actually sort of lucked out, because the strap/deployant combo was in a strap display case on the second floor of the boutique and the associate helping me was like "want to try it and see how it looks?" There is a bit more material/bolstering close to the lugs for this strap compared to the original and it doesn't taper as much - but for me it was well worth it to swap it to the deployant. |

Thanks this is perfect. Probably a bit softer than the OG strap too… What watch was the strap originally on? |
