What do Rolex fans think of the Snoopy 50?

Let’s see how long it takes to actually get a call for one.

So if the watch is available from Tourneau then it's not exclusively available from the Omega Boutique.

I like if, wish it wasn’t manual wind

It's how I feel. What kills it for me is the blue and that is my favorite color. If it were black I would have liked it for sure, but this industry wide adoption of the blue color this year doesn't go with every watch, and certainly not this one. It may look better on the wrist and it will make many happy, pass for me.

I don't like Peanuts so I wouldn't consider any watch with Peanuts characters on the dial personally. Extraordinarily overrated comic.

I love everything about it! Best Snoopy yet and coolest Speedmaster yet!

Agree 100%. Omega is riding the blue-trend. And trends come and go.

If it were black, I would be plonking down my cash without hesitation.

Admire Snoopy, yet it's a pass.
Love the 50th Buzz big time!

I am not quite sure it was stated to be an OB piece only. I called a few places in the area on the dealer list provided on the Omega site. Some were taking names, some were not.

Might be that OB gets it first, then ADs soon after. Who knows.

Love it.

Hard to call yourself a watch lover and not find something about any new watch that you don’t at least appreciate. For this one in particular, the case back should draw some applause.

I would have preferred something useful like a power reserve.

Not my cup of tea, to each their own

another omega overpriced, desperate cash grab. are they going to release pointless snoopy anniversary editions every 5 year now?

Dislikes:

-cliché navy blue and white colors, just to make sure they can reel in the customers to place an order.
-cheap strap that will wear down after a year of daily use, charging 10k USD for a nylon strap is quite insulting as far as I'm concerned.
-gimmicky snoopy animation that looks like a middle school science project with that obvious stick attached to the snoopy module.

for that price, I would go for a 50th anniversary speedmaster on the pre-owned market. at least you get a steel bracelet and some tasteful gold for your buck.

I love simple to the point watches. The plain Jane speedy never sang to me. Also not a fan of gimmicky things on watches....

With all that being said, I freaking love this watch! Love the colours, love the connection between snoopy and NASA. Love the strap and how the they purposely made it a tang buckle so you can stare at that cool working caseback.

This is definitely not a watch for your 1 or 2 watch guys. This watch is fun and not afraid to buck the norm. Hopefully I can get my paws on one, put down a deposit with a OB but who knows what the allocations will look like.

I enjoy looking at them, wouldn't be a buyer though. Not a collector, just a wearer.

[Thanos]

I like the watch but cant get past the fact Omega does include a speedy steel bracelet. Beyond unacceptable.

[Rollieo]

Haha interesting and pretty cool to see all the reactions. Seems like it’s a love it or hate it

Asking for our Opinions on Omega? Hmmm.

IDK... wearing a watch with a cartoon name is one thing but... I really like Speedmasters however I couldn't do this one. Not crazy about a white dialed Speedy anyway.

Hmmm, I like it yet not my thing. No 'love or hate'. They really do need to include a metal bracelet tho imho.

I get the childlike back, it's Peanuts Snoppy and that's cool, but I'm a Tron generation kind of geek.

[BNA/LION]

I'll pass...

I Love everything about it & called my local AD on Monday for one.

[sgwatchguy]

Pass. Too big. Too fat.

And... looks like a watch half that price.

[ACZman15]

Beautiful piece! ��. Looking forward to adding to my humble collection.

[Watchamatician]

I saw the Snoopy3 in the morning after the release, and put in my deposit 5 hours later! I love it! (I have three Rollies, two Pam, a VC and a Seamaster)

[Phooi]

I like it. I know blue is a little obvious given the current blue watch hype but when I look at the 3 watches together, you can see a theme. Snoopy 1 was classic with the blue snoopy at 9 subdial. Snoopy 2 was black and white. With snoopy 3, I think that they took the white of the snoopy 2 and the blue from snoopy 1. At least, that is my opinion. My question is how much the blue matches the Ck2998 blue.

Finally, I liked the surprise animation on the case back. I was thinking how many watches have this at this price point. That ultimately sealed the deal for me.

[joe240]

Gorgeous!

Originally was in the Rolex general topics... i guess a mod moved the thread.

[Andad]

I like the dial.

I quite like the case back feature but can’t see it while wearing the watch.

Price in Oz is around $14700?

Availability is supposed to be ok but I haven’t enquired yet.

I think I am happy with my Speedy sandwich.
