Snoopy 50th fun fact
If you shine a UV light on the back of the Snoopy 50th, the globe illuminates like Ultraman does at the 9 position on that reference. It requires UV and won't illuminate under other light. This may be old news, but I didn't know.

Super cool; now I just need $30k to drop on a grey market example since I’m sure I’ll never get one at an AD. I recently found this reference and really really like it, so it bummed me out a bit when I found out how hard they are to get and thus how much the secondary market price is…super fun reference though and congrats to everyone that has one!

Common TRFer: That's so lame. Omega should stop making gimmicks and make a solid watch that holds value.

</end sarcasm>

That is super cool, did not know and thanks for sharing.
