·Just caught a glimpse of this piece for the second time. Even better than the first impression. Cannot wait for the call from my OB!

·Is it just me that thinks the full white dial looks a little 'cheap'?
I feel like this dial needs a bit more contrast, personally.

Have you seen it in person? It’s fantastic.

·It’s exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero.
I think my Santos might have found it’s mirror. 20 people in line already, I’ll wait until the hype cools.

·Just picked mine up from the boutique and what a killer piece and should complement any Speedy collection very well. I also bought the rubber moon strap and will try it out in the summer.

·Stopped by the OB on 5th in Manhatten to check it out. HUGE fan of the dial and bracelet in person. Didnt put my name on the waitlist... still considering what would be better... building purchase history at an OB or my local AD. Im not sure there is a right or wrong answer. Also struck out getting a Snoopy moonphase at the Swatch stores.

Here’s my opinion. I would try to buy regular production pieces at the Omega boutique that are not often seen at an AD. … If, those appeal to you. It can only help. I wouldn’t buy a regular production piece. It will eventually be available everywhere else. So I would hold off on buying the white speedy for now, too.
It’s been a while since Omega put out a real genuine, easy to complain about limited edition. There is hype about those pieces before they are released and the OB will take deposits. Even with the regular production silver Snoopy 50, they took deposits. Or the recent Bond Seamaster. This is for the US audience.
So, you do stand a good chance of getting a special edition piece in most cases. It’s too late now probably for the silver snoopy 50 for you. It isn’t too late for a c321 Ed White. They have a list and it just takes forever to get through it. You’re probably more likely to get pushed up on the list if you bought a lot more stuff from the boutique, but then again that would only be worth it if you want to buy a lot of stuff at the boutique retail.
Knowing that those pieces depreciate instantly given that they are often 20% less expensive at an AD and then you have to lose another 20% to sell to somebody else easily.
The last thing that I will mention is that it does help when you have a sales associate that you work with throughout the years. You know them. They know you. They will reach out to you with all sorts of opportunities. You might pass on most of them, but they will also understand which pieces you care most about.

·I’ve just been offered one of these from my boutique and just today before I set off he’s told me there’s a snoopy with my name on it. Now the dilemma, I think the white is a better every day wear and compliments my black Hesalite well.. however can I really turn the snoopy down? It will hold value much better but not sure if I’ll wear it as much. And it’s an extra 2.5k on top at retail. I also might need to sell the black Hesalite to part fund the snoopy also..

Congrats- you must have quite the spend history at the OB.

·Grab the Snoopy now, sell what you have to, and buy the white dial much later if you still want it. No brainer!

I agree, grab first the snoopy.
