·From what I understand re: deposits at OB; watches under $10k require a full deposit and watches over $10k require a 50% deposit.

·I'm in the US so the deposit I'm referring to is a US OB and he was guessing that $5k. He said he will have more information in a few weeks. Given the steel 321 EW was over $14k I expect this to be over $10k, but that is speculation on my part and when he gets back to me in a few weeks I'll update this thread.

·I heard a rumour that the watch will be a celebration of Snoopy not necessarily Apollo 13th.

·Because a Snoopy Speedmaster will sell much better... even in white Gold ... while in 2003 nobody gave a damn !

·Anyone have any idea what is happening in U.S. states where all boutiques and ADs are closed? For instance, those of us in California or New York? Are you all planning to call them once they reopen, or are you trying other routes to get on a "list"?

·I always hear deposits, is really strange, I never had to do a deposite here in Germany. Other countries different manners.
Here he would have to deliver me an Apollo 13 if I had made a deposit on it.
My statements to Bond were correct that I had gotten from my dealer, so I believe him, the next statement was no Snoopy but a new Speedy Thuesday.
Same in UK you can't deposit

·Makes sense. Apollo XIII is not really something to celebrate as they failed to land on the moon and we do not see Omega celebrating Apollo XII or Apollo XIV that were full success
Though, your point on not celebrating subsequent missions is well taken. There's money at play, which is why I'm surprised they didn't capitalize on XIII for its unique place in Apollo history

·Yes, no reason to celebrate the outstanding leadership, engineering prowess, and team efforts that ensured the successful return of three crewmen after a catastrophic explosion 200,000 miles from home. RME

That’s why it will be really interesting what they will show in October

·Because who cares about the 2nd mission that landed on the moon?
- Apollo 8: 1st time a human being saw the dark side of the Moon
- Apollo 11 : first man on the moon
- Apollo 13 : human miracle
- Apollo 17 : last man of the moon
The other missions... the general public does not really care. Eventually some people would like to add Apollo 15 because of the lunar rover but that's it. Tintin's comics about the Moon probably have a bigger impact on population than any Apollo mission expect 11 and 13.
edit: any space mission expect those 2 above, Sputnik, Laika and Gagarin in fact...

·Boutiques and ADs closed so no one to contact. I suppose if you are well connected via past purchases there may be some communication going on regarding deposits, getting on 'the list', etc. This puts Omega USA in a ticklish situation because some people are getting information or getting advised as to how the system will work for getting this watch which puts non-connected people at a disadvantage. I'm sure they are trying to minimize this but business always goes on.
Not really as they preallocate how many are going to different regions so only the 'US allocation' would be affected

·Omega's announcement about the Apollo 13 is at https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17885389972549369/. I understand from my OB that it will not be a limited edition, but no other information is available to the public yet. October 5, 2020, is the date to look for Omega's further annoucement according to the Instagram post.
