New Incoming: Snoopy Time
No unfortunately not the new one, but since we are on the dawn on seeing the latest incarnation of the Snoopy Speedmaster released into the wild I thought it a good time to pick up one of the old versions. Introduced at Basel in 2003, the reference 3578.51 was originally an incredibly poor seller, sitting in shop windows gathering dust and often changing hands for a fraction of the RRP. It's hard to imagine it now, given how sought after these have become over the years amongst collectors and fans. It is for all intents and purposes a standard Speedie 3570.50 but with a Snoopy patch on the dial, updated caseback and different packaging. Inside it still runs an 1861 cal manual wind chronograph movement and sports a hesalite crystal - thankfully.
1 of only 3 of the many limited edition Speedmaster's that I like (Alaska and Souyez being the other 2), i've had my eye out for one of these for ages. When this one popped up on Chrono24 at a frankly daft price I jumped on it quickly. In fact I cringe just thinking about that deal, sending money abroad with no cover, to a no name establishment for a highly sought after watch at an unbelievable price what could possibly go wrong? Anyways, they came through, I got this checked out by Omega who gave it the stamp of approval, and the rest is history. The only thing left to do is add the latest version to collection when they finally arrive.

Congrats. Very cool. Both of them old and new. I just picked up a new pre moon the other day. Should be delivered via Fed Ex today and I am excited. Wish it had the hesalite crystal, but oh well.
