That's a pretty damn solid pair, how hard was it to get both new though a boutique? Did you have to make a lot of previous purchases or just wait a while?

I got them through the same Boutique and I was at the right place and right time.

Perhaps OP is extremely handsome. Lord knows the boutique sees my mug approaching and they lock the door and turn off the lights. 😉

I had purchased the white 3861 and FOIS from the same boutique in 2024, but I wanted them, not with the idea of generating purchase history. But it helped me get my Snoopy early in 2025. They have offered me an Ed White a couple times, but I'm not ready to spend that much money.....

My wife got me the white 3861 in late summer 2025 as an anniversary gift. She wouldn’t have understood or appreciated the process if the boutique had tried to play the waiting list game with her, so I phoned ahead to inquire what they had in stock and played the “wife wants to come in to buy me a gift” violins. I was initially surprised when they said they had the watch available and set an appointment for us to come in, but I think by this time the white dial speedy was becoming more available.

I got my white Speedy about 2 years ago when they were difficult to find, the AD where I've done business for about 40 years, got me one in 5 weeks. I've since added the Omega black calfskin strap and deployant clasp. I believe it was about $525, they have always treated me fairly.

Got lucky with mine two years ago, i clicked contact a boutique, and she called me right away and said they had two coming in that week, and one would be mine if I gave her my card. I did, and drove 200 miles to get it 3 days later. First purchase there.
