This watch is a homerun. It's the best looking snoopy.

There's 3 issues people have with it.

1. It's not limited - this is actually good for the masses and good for the company because there's already a snoopy out there that is a legend, serving as a halo product. Omega needed to make a snoopy that is easier to purchase. All the flippers and enthusiasts who were only into the new snoopy with expectation of the same jump in market price are now weeping. This is a distant first. If everyone wanted this to be "limited" would stop crying about it, it would be next to the mesh bracelet James Bond Seamaster as their best releases of the year.

2. Pricing - i don't really understand the hate on pricing. It's based on market forces. ALL of these watches are over-priced. literally, anything omega makes, anything rolex makes, grand seiko, patek... the only watches that aren't over priced are $20 casios, apple watches, and any other industry specific niche watch. As it has been shown many watches before, if people don't want it, dealers will give discounts on them. Omega's pricing is pretty transparent. If it flows down to the authorized dealers, you'll likely get one 25% off.

3. Looks - this is a distant distant 3rd. It's a great looking watch, panda style with every brand's best-selling tri compax design. some people don't care for snoopy, some people don't care for blue... but come on, it's absolutely better looking than the silver snoopy.

agree with points 2 & 3 but I don’t think it will be as easy to get as you make out

Well it has certainly inspired you to post enough and add to the internet chatter.

Yes, to say that it looks better in live photos than renders or marketing shots. Which to me is an important distinction
