For 30K you get a watch with a strap, not PM, not even a bracelet.

:)

Crazy world we live in.

Hey, I know what Snoopy 50 is.

David's pic is the first time I can really see the silver dial. Looks sharp

It's only $35,875.00. Just 30,000 more than I can afford for a Speedmaster!

I wonder how many of these will actually be worn. The hype is so much that they will end up being safe queen for most buyers. Unless someone gets two, 1 to wear and and 1 save.

I plan on wearing mine whenever I get the call. I'll probably change out the strap though to fit a deployant buckle instead of the pin buckle.

Planning to wear 100%. Probably won't sell it unless I am truly not enjoying it, regardless of price being high or low.

I plan to wear mine whenever the call comes - nothing on a speedy that can't be addressed down the road (scratches, etc..).

That is ABSURD. I want to be friends with those people that will buy these at that price. They have more money than sense so maybe they will waste some money on me. I need a bottle of Pappy please.

Patience is a virtue. God bless those who can plunk down $35,875 for any watch let alone this one. But why not wait a year or 2 before going gray? You never know.

There are many people making assumptions. We still don't know how many Snoopy's will be cranked out after COVID. We still don't know what the real demand is.

Don't count your chicks before they're hatched.

After COVID? You speak as if we have an end in sight. Tens of thousands are still dying, virus is rapidly mutating. Who knows how long this will last and what life after will be like.

Heck, this may even be a trial run.

I don't see but I def notice the chrono hand is mis aligned. You'd think the hand would line up.

Hard to say, could be the watch tilting to the right. Who knows.

If was tilted the reflections wouldn't be uniform...it's def off to the right IMO.

It’s definitely off. Saw another one that looked exactly the same. Not very good QC IMHO. Calibration was off obviously.

It's great to see the first examples being delivered to the market and it looks great in the metal. Congratulations to all who have received their piece.

Given all of the speculation and rumors about ADs refunding deposits, I'm getting less confident by the day that I will actually receive 'the' call from my AD (I was told I'm 7th on my AD's list).

8 o'clock marker is def off. It is not centered between the 1/4 second marks like the others. Too close to the lower 1/4 second mark.

I think 7-10 are off, now that I look at them closely. I usually don't pay mcuh attention to these photos.

Terrible QC .

I do agree with you, a slight deviation in angle can change the entire prespective. Taking proper macro shots is a very advanced and underrated skill.

Good luck with yours and we await the pictures.

Same watch with actually a perceived tilt in opposite direction. It’s off.

Those will soon be called "error" dials and they will bring an additional premium!!!

Parallax (from Ancient Greek παράλλαξις (parallaxis) 'alternation') is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.
