Hope you get yours soon! I wasn’t expecting to get mine so fast and it’s got a permanent spot in my collection!

I thought more modifications were needed.
Congratulations, looks awesome.

Thanks! I can ask more questions if anyone needs to confirm, but it was a straightforward swap as fas as I know.

Congratulations on getting your watch, my wife and I are hoping to get one of these in the near future.

I think it looks good on a bracelet. When you say they used shorter spring bars, do you think they actually meant thinner spring bars?

That would make more sense, lol. I’ll confirm what, if anything, is different.

I like this.

My wife wants to keep one on a strap, but I like the bracelet.

We'll just have to get one each!!

Now that is an amazing pair!
Want a “classic sport” look: got the Daytona.
Want a “unconventional sport” look: got the Snoopy.

Congrats on your new Snoopy, looks stunning on the A11 bracelet.

Let's put it this way: there are more chances of getting a white face Daytona than getting a Snoopy 50th at the moment

I guess Omega’s strategy for getting watches in the hands of real collectors have paid off

I’m at about 11 months since I put my deposit down and there is no news in sight.

Guys today a Snoopy 50th got sold for about 36k at the Sotheby’s auction.
It just entered in full “Daytona” mode.
This means we will have to be patient and wait.
I don’t really care about the huge appreciation, but I like that the reference is holding value.
I think it’s a fair trade for 1-2 years of waiting.
Stay strong, will get there!!

A little bit of an understatement! It's doing way more than holding value at 36k.

Finally got mine yesterday!





Had 2 defects on the watch though. Missing paint on the number 5 (of 65) on the tachymeter bezel. And also a slight gap on the strap at the lugs exposing the spring bar.

Omega boutique is helping me to sort out these issues though.

Otherwise it is an absolutely lovely watch!

I like the watch and have been waiting it for the past 5 years, cause I wanted this to be my first speedy. The OB people and my AD were exhausted about me asking about the potential new Apollo 13 coming.
I would have been happy with just the Snoopy holding the value.
Of course a premium of 20K on top of that, it’s cool!

Gilthoniel,
Congrats, it’s spectacular - what was the waiting time? Would be interesting to know what OB will offer - guess they must replace the watch with a proper one??

Not sure yet as it is a public holiday here the past 2 days.



Will wait till Monday for an answer from Omega



I waited for this since launch (5 October 2020).



I got my 321 last month and now the snoopy. I think that’s enough for the year
