That’s the largest UK deposit I’ve heard of to date - congrats on getting the allocation.

I'll stick my neck out and say that for those that are patient, Omega will make enough for many to take delivery. The challenge will be managing the professional flippers / vultures looking to make a few bucks.

I think the non-committal "limited production" just means they're not a main line piece and they'll churn them out for a few years.

Indeed interesting. Feels like a turning point for me opportunity wise they can hold back production and come closer to the Rolex 'unobtainable' model which is something they've always strived I feel in terms of playing field position.
As someone else mentioned by making it non LE it means people are constantly walking in asking for the snoopy, adding to a 'list' and possibly checking out other pieces while there

Bang on

That's what happened with Rolex. People would walk-in and can't get a Daytona then buy a GMT. People would walk in try and buy a GMT, can't and get a Submariner.....this trickled down all the way down to Explorers, Air Kings, DJ41s and now OPs.

Consider that the waiting list for the reference is now 4-5 years in different countries.
The production is so limited that the highest allocation expected is max 20 watches for big OB in the first year.
Other OB will receive less, and large AD chains have very limited supply as well.
It’s very unlikely that this will go on Joma with a discount.
That can be only caused by poor Omega HQ strategy in production and distribution, or if a huge amount of the early buyers are actually flippers.
It might be... but it doesn’t look we are going in this direction.

The dreaded...."people really like these, let's make more"!!!

We shall see if Omega has their wits about them in regards to the market.

There’s 0% chance Omega will mess it up where this ends up on Jomashop for 30% off. A standard moonwatch goes for 15% off on Jomashop, you think there’s even a remote possibility that Omegas hottest watch in the last decade is going to show up there for 30% off?

I completely agree that the snoopy floats all Speedmaster boats, and this is exactly what Omega will do.

The absolute worst Omega will do with Snoopy is they produce just a little more than demand and a very small handful starts to sit at the OBs or ADs, and I doubt even this will happen. And in the small chance it does, I don’t think they will even discount as they know their allocations will be limited.

Except for the Speedmaster Apollo 17 40th. Those can still be found BNIB at OB’s. Nothing is lifting that boat.

That was a pretty ugly boat :)

The Snoopy 50th is actually a pretty nice piece and visually appealing.
