    I wouldn't pay $24.00 for that butt ugly green thing with the childish nickname. I find it odd that the well off people who crave these watches are determined to assign them kindergarten corny, trite, and hackneyed nicknames.

    Nobody will buy it. It might just be a seller who wants to artificially bump up the perceived price of this model so his other advert at £19k seems like a bargain in comparison. And if someone does happen to buy it, bonus!

    No one knows. It's just there to feed the hype.

    If I’m going green, give me 4 of these bad boys straight from the OB no discount. And still some money left over.

    But putting a cartoon beagle on a watch and calling it a Snoopy is somehow grownup? Righteo.

    And no comment on your handle and avatar.

    Play nice...
    Source: https://www.pbssocal.org/science/snoopy-has-been-working-with-nasa-since-the-late-1950s/

    Snoopy has been associated with NASA for over 50 years... a lot of grownups in NASA and three astronauts proud to wear a snoopy mission patch. I also prefer the silver snoopy Speedmaster with the cartoon character on the watch over the hulk anytime.

    Unknown to many, Snoopy has been working with NASA since the late 1950s, even before man first stepped on the moon. Space, as it turns out, is the final frontier — even for beagles.

    On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 launched from Cape Kennedy on a Saturn V rocket. The mission served as the “dress rehearsal” for Apollo 11, and its payload included a lunar module dubbed by the crew as “Snoopy” and a command module called “Charlie Brown.”

    [​IMG]

    The name “Snoopy” was chosen because the lunar module was sent to “snoop around” the surface of the moon looking for a safe landing place for the Apollo 11 mission. Snoopy flew within 50,000 feet (roughly 9 miles) of the moon’s surface searching for the place where Apollo 11’s Eagle lander would touch down shortly thereafter in the Sea of Tranquility.

    Apollo 10 was crewed by commander Thomas P. Stafford, command module pilot John W. Young and lunar module pilot Eugene A. Cernan, and Snoopy was the mission’s mascot. In this photo, you can see Stafford petting the nose of a Snoopy stuffed animal as he heads to the launch pad. Holding Snoopy is Jayme Flowers Coplin, who served as secretary for L. Gordon Cooper, a Mercury-Atlas 9 and Gemini 5 astronaut who was also part of the backup crew for Apollo 10.

    I made no comment about Omega. Regarding my screen name and avatar perhaps you would be happier on a forum to which I don't belong. Feel free to exercise that option.

    Frankly, I'll remember your opinion in the highly unlikely event that it ever matters to me. Methinks I don't give a crap what you think.

    @Evitzee & Marsimaxam

    Well seeing as you both brought up the Snoopy Speedmaster and you think the Rolex Hulk is expensive how about a Snoopy for the awesome price of just £34,250 and no I'm not making it up it's from a well known company specialising in the secondary market here in the UK. Which means whoever sold it to them would of picked up a little shy of £25,000 not a bad return on investment for sure.

    A friend of mine bought one of these for his 40th for £5200 retail new. 3 years later goldsmiths offered him a straight swap for a new GMT, he took them up on the offer. This was roughly 6 years ago and it's like they knew something then...

    He will be kicking himself now!!

    Has no one noticed that the listing image itself is a screenshot? The OP’s image shows 1 of 5 but the listing image shows 2 of 10. It’s a scam.

    It’s a screenshot of a different eBay listing and they didn’t even bother cropping it to hide that fact.
