Snoopy vs 321

[FTX I]

Just a quick poll. Which would you choose and why?

[Ringhio]

Snoopy, for the case back complication, gimmicky but never seen before on a Speedy.

321 is awesome, but since this will be my first Speedmaster, I find the Snoopy very unique.

Not the usual choice for a first Speedy. Hope you like it.

I'm getting both having just picked up the 321 and paid the deposit for the snoopy. If forced to pick one it would be the 321, in the metal is clearly special and due the size, bracelet etc it will fit my wrist better than the snoopy.

but I want both.

I vote Snoopy because it means more to me from a personal perspective. When the Eyes on the Stars was released, I loved it but could not even fathom getting it. It was right around when I became interested in watches. Now I have the chance to get a snoopy and to me it’s kind of a “coming full circle” feeling. To be honest, even it wasn’t attractive I’d be interested. But I love it. And it adds something different to my collection. So I’m happy about that.

The 321 is magnificent. But without putting one one, I dont have that bond with it. And that’s what it’s all about to me, really getting to bond with a watch and making sure I want it in my collection.

Snoopy for me because it's so different

I love everything about the 321 ... except the price
Still would be the one I’d choose though

Price is a bummer no doubt...

+1 it’s about as perfect a modern Speedie as I have seen...too bad about the price

[denmanproject]

Ed White FTW

321 but it’s impossible to buy

[Stevec14]

321 for me - but the price is high. I’m on the list for a snoopy, but whether I purchase or not who knows.

321 for me - kinda biased as I was lucky enough to get mine from the OB last week.

Whilst I respect the fun/tribute aspect of the Snoopy's, I have always found them a bit "gimmicky". Don't get me wrong, these are nicely executed watches and highly collectible, yet I don't find them classy - in particular the latest one. I know this is not intended to be a dress watch, but I would not wear this blue thing on a suit at work.

On the other end, the 321 is almost a grail watch to me. Compact size, low thickness, legendary movement, comes with a bracelet, less flashy yet timeless and much more versatile. I own quite a few watches, but strangely since I picked up my 321, now is the first time I am considering selling a few of them, keeping only the ones that truly matter to me, e.g. my father's vintage JLC. And this 321, it is clearly something special.

Both are equally "unobtainium", though I expect much lower numbers of 321 given the manufacturing model (not to mention Switzerland is gradually closing non-essential shops since yesterday).

Did you get a leather strap and buckle with the watch and how much did it cost?

What was included in the box, the typical moonwatch accessories?

Thanks in advance.

The 321 came with the standard box (2 nato straps, loupe, medallion, screwdriver). I got a black alligator strap and deployment clasp extra:
98000316 ALLIG TEC NOIR 19x16 DPL BRIL
94521643 BOUCLE ACIER DPL 16, POLI

321 for the smaller case and the lemania

Thanks a lot, how much was the buckle and the strap, I assume you bought from Omega? The 321 is next on my list, and I think is a stunner on the aligator strap, I saw your photos and fell in love.

Stay save in Geneva, kudos from canton VAUD.

Not a fan of either but chose the 321 as I guess the gimmick of the movement is better than the gimmick of a dog on my watch.

[unknown]

like both but unfortunately both are way overpriced

lol that's the main reason I voted 321

[mmaggi]

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if in 2-3 years we'll see the Ed White 321 selling for under $10k on the used market.

Not only would it not surprise me I expect it. That said would be my choice any day of the week over a watch with peanuts on it.

[samson66]

Snoopy because it's different. The 321 just looks like a moonwatch to me. I realize it's more than that but I just can't get nearly excited enough by looking at it to spend that kind of money. The Snoopy, while overpriced in my view, is still a very cool watch. I don't indent to pick up either however.

[jnalbandyan]

Snoopy. It’s a 50th anniversary.

I bought the Snoopy, waiting for the delivery, but I love Ed White as well. I think long-term I will have both. I was afraid the Snoopy will get away, and always had the feeling that the Ed White will be more available in the future. I hope I am right. The Snoopy is super cool, the Ed White is more discreet and classy. If you know you know kind of watch.

[WAK4]

Snoopy....it's different, and better size for me.

That said, I'm thinking I'm going to want to have both eventually

Interesting result so far: 100 votes, 50 x 50

[texasmade]

Such a close vote.
