I’ve heard horror stories about the last snoopy release and sounds like we may be in for a replay if the OBs are all doing something different. Also, not sure how you can make a snoopy a “limited production” watch. It sort of defeats the point of the watch and would create headaches around royalties and such. But who knows what omega is thinking. |

Not really strange depending on how Omega corporate set up their Boutiques. It's always been set up in a way such that Boutique management decides how to run the show in their respective stores.
"Limited Production" would be like the 321 Steel. Not numbered, but simply limited in terms of how many they crank out. Honestly, I doubt they'd do this. For most (if not all) of their special editions, they've always made them numbered. Even if the number is really high (i.e., 6969). |

So when the release of a new “hot” watch is announced, there would be a standardized rollout so that all customers would know what to expect. Again, the net effect would be to reinforce the positive “omega” experience, not have conflicting threads like this online. An analogy would be walking into an Apple store and having every store handle the launch of an iPhone in a different way. Let’s say we would not have the apple of today. |

I wish that were the case, but honestly, in my experience in the watch industry, there's limited (if any) consistency. Even with multiple stores owned by the same AD, for instance.

The whole reason I made those comments stemmed from the fact I had a conversation regarding this exact problem elsewhere. I guess Swiss watch companies either don’t have the margins to invest in customer experience or don’t feel the need to. |
