what graphic will they use on the sub dial? Snoopy's butt?

 

Badass snoopy, badass speedy, some butt, some ass

 

lol

 

IMHO this time Omega will move to higher grounds and I would not be surprised if LE is around 6970 pcs. Or even more 9970 pcs. Silver Snoopy was 1970 pcs and they saw what happened, so this time in line with the latest LE releases figure I presume will be much higher. Most likely there will be a lot of speculators attending the show but if figure is such a high one they will at the end be left with no profit. Call it wishful thinking you may, but still I believe this is what will happen.

 

My guess as well. Probably a high SS number like Apollo 11 50th, because it's also going to be a major 50th anniv. Also being 50th anniv, maybe there'll be a precious metal version (golden snoopy?) produced in a much smaller number.
Golden snoopy designed tastefully like the platinum 321... That'll be desirable.

 

Depending on your definition of "space" ( USAF astronaut wings = 80 Km or the official FAI Karman line = 100 Km ), the Apollo 13 anniversary will be the 50th anniversary of " Rolex in space " ...

 

I hope it is a snoopy but will be hard to Top the 45th Snoopy. I keep asking my local OB but nothing yet.

 

Is the 50th Apollo 11 already sold out?

 

Don't think any OB/AD will have any left without having run down their waiting list and get cancellations for the few allocated to them. I'm afraid only available at grey market with markup prices. Some think waiting a few months or a year might get you one at retail price of lower (not me).

 

I'd be shocked to see all 6969 of them truly sold out and commanding premiums in the secondary market.

 

Sold in not sold out. Not yet at least.

 

I just don’t see a whole of ppl, including myself paying over $10k MSRP for any special edition omega

 

That is interesting that the OB has feedback "sources" for people who buy in the OB but flip. I am of the opinion that once you buy a watch from the OB what happens to it after you own it should not be a concern for Omega OB's or Omega SA.

 

Don't start that again

 

Sorry Martin, but when someone claims having an info coverage of whole world I am tempted to have that corrected. My AD for example did not get even one, but has in order 5 pcs. There is a list of 5 people and I am the first one. I would get a look when it arrives and as of now my chances of buying it are not more than 10%. When I see it that might change but .... and there are some other people on the list that are hesitant. So what does it mean? Are these 5 pcs sold in or sold out? IMHO they are sold in to my AD, and when they will be sold out is yet to be understood.

 

We are just never going to agree on this are we?

 

If you say so.....

 

I originally had a deposit on the 50th, but changed my mind when I saw pictures of it. About a few weeks ago, I went to the OB and they showed me the piece in person. It looked incredible and definitely more premium than any other speedy I have held.

Today, I went in and picked up the piece and had it sized on the wrist. It feels and look amazing! But I also understand people’s hesitance of paying $10K for an omega.

 

I would love to have the XIII 50. But in truth, I would probably prefer a (dare I say plain-old) SS 321. The problem I foresee with the inevitable SS 321 is this: which reference will they choose to "reissue?"

My hope is for the originally flight-qualified 105.003

I believe they'll stay away from the 2998 having just done a similar broad arrow in the trilogy in an indirect nod to Ed White.

They may cave and just do the Aldrin ref.

The deal sealer for me will be if they bring back the 7912 bracelet. I would make some sacrifices to obtain such a watch...

 

According to my AD (in Paris) : reveal April 2020 - Deliveries June 2020 / 1970 pieces with 321 cal. He will know more by the end of this month (I really hope they won't release 7070 pieces ...
