    As the site clearly states they make watches from parts and aren't associated with Omega. So it is thing but not a thing.

    They take a regular Speedmaster, apply DLC coating to the stainless steel parts, put a service LE dial and hands and market it as whatever black edition. For sure don't forget to make only a few since only limited editions are considered for investments. ::rimshot::

    But if you like it, it might be a thing.

    I just feel like that black coating is going to get all scratch up, and look like crap in 6 months.

    It was funny when somebody started to make DLC Rolex but now it is boring, to many companies and it is easy to burn your money with such "limited editions"

    I thought it was kind of wild..

    I have DLC coating on one of my pistols.. it's nice looking, but does have wear, but it's being drawn from a holster a good bit. (USPSA stuff) Not sure how'd it make out on a watch.

    The only black coating I've never heard of wearing on a watch is Damasko's "Damast" coating. Not sure how it differs from regular DLC.

    I don't think they touched the dial, just put the Snoopy dial on a modded watch.

    This is what happens when you have a lot of new money and you meet a guy with the ability to do DLC. Sadly a story that has repeated itself multiple times.

    Forget the Snoopy. This is what I want for Valentine's.

    You have to vape and be a UFC fan to own one.

    They even make you fill out a questionnaire before purchase.

    This was/is somewhat of a fad the last ten years or so. I know Rolex service centers won't touch these types of bastardized watches so you have to have independents work on them, Omega may be the same. Certainly not my cup of tea.

    DLC coatings, and others, are strong but depends on how well they are applied. I have a couple of Alain Silberstein watches who was one of the first to put PVD coatings on cases and bracelets and after 25 years they still look clean and fresh.

    could be worse. it could be a knockoff snoop.

    if black venom products catch on it could go up in value..but your paying 2k for dlc and a dial....and wut...only 5 made

    Considering the other 5 or so companies that have done this did not have increased value on the secondary market, I’d doubt they go up.
