    I'm now the proud father of Snoopy! It's #1204/1970 45th Anniversary Silver Snoopy Award to be exact...

    This is my 54th birthday present, so I can't have it until tomorrow and wife made me stick it in the safe, but not before I snuck a couple of photos! I blanked out the serial number, but didn't feel the need to blank out the LE number.

    It's a full set with warranty starting last Friday when it shipped, except that the AD is at Basel and doesn't know why his store shipped it to me without the little tan or beige colored hanging tag. Everything else is there, and it included a little white Omega velveteen-material tie-bag that I didn't know it came with.

    I might be afraid to actually wear this outside for a while, until things cool down and the Red Barron is defeated. I also want to try to find an accidental damage protection plan, more than just having a rider on my Metlife home and auto policy so that if I file a claim my rates won't all go up. My watchmaker took photos and the serial number and is writing up an appraisal for me, so I can add it to my policy.

    @larryganz -- regarding the beige hang tag: I know that Omega Botiques will not let you take the tag home with you. It may be a way of maintaining a physical record of units that were not released into the grey market. Oddly, the one watch that I personally have purchased from a grey market seller did come with the hang tag (but no Omega warranty, of course).

    Congrats. Greta watch. Glad to hear that you plan on wearing it. Get to Jewelers Mutual and get a policy that covers just the watch. Because your concern about a claim driving up HO rates is valid. And in my experience JM is about the same price range as my HO.

    Both the middleman and the AD that shipped it directly to me said it should have the tag in the box, but it's missing. The AD is at Basel and communicated to the middleman via text - he was gruff and when I insisted on them finding the tag he told the middleman, "then have him return it". I'm not returning it, I just want the tag.

    I got the tag with all my other new Omegas except one from Jared (notorious for losing the tags and warranty cards), and they gave me a free service on another watch when I vociferously complained about them losing the tag. Even my Omega from Jomashop had the tag and everything else, just no warranty card.

    Congrats ! Beautiful :) It sometimes happens that the AD delivers the watch without a hangtag. It would annoy me as well. As far as I can tell you can order it from the AD. I stumbled upon that kind of problem on WUS but cant find a thread now. The guys there were saying that it cost them $30-40 to order it from AD.

    Anyway, wear in good health :)

    My snoopy from my ad came with the tag. May be its just each dealer doing different things.
