The hysteria, just calm down everybody you will all get your watches. Just like everybody who ordered a NTTD got theirs, it was scarce for the first few months of release and then all of sudden its availability got better.

I'm assuming its going to be the same for snoopy3, tight for first 6 months and better at 8 to 12 months. Even if demand is astronomical everybody will get a watch and will be happy.

 

This is market and customer abuse report their practices to omega and record their conversation next time.

 

Which OB was this? Would be useful to report to Omega HQ, and to know which locations to be cautious of going forward.

 

Good luck reporting to HQ! They don't respond to emails and their chat service has been down for several days now.

 

there is no such regulation in our country.

 

In this video the Omega head of product development is asked at 17:05 "so the watch is limited through production but not limited as a watch itself?" with the response "exactly"

 

Exactly, so everybody who wants one will get one in due course.

 

But how is that any different than a Rolex Daytona?

 

It isn't but some contributors are having issues grasping that fairly simple fact. This is no Apollo 8, much, much broader appeal and the
Snoopy 45th halo effect in full swing.

The clue is in the phrase "limited through production"

The complexity of the casebook will naturally limit the total numbers and Omega will certainly not want their canine icon gathering dust amongst the two tone Globemasters and Constellations at the back of the display cabinets.

Omega are desperate to adopt the Rolex "allocation" model and this piece and the Speedy 321 are it's tentative steps in that direction although they seem to have goofed up with the 321 by not actually producing any at all yet

 

Thanks for the suggestion. The economy is bad and i do not want to cause any issue that might affect the employment of the salesperson. It is just a watch.

 

I wonder how many 321's are actually out there at this point. I've seen less than 10 (probably less than 5 at this point) and it's been like 4-5 months or close to that.

 

The blue one was released only last year though...

 

looking at the amount of reply here seems like the interest has dwindled down quite a bit

 

Now first stage of conversation is nearly over.

Next and more important stage of discussion will commence when the initial deliveries will start and we'll have the watch in hand.

Then only it's fate will be decided...

 

Yep...there will be a new thread showing the unboxing, and tons of photos. Next, will be the where in the world are you...how many were allocated where...who is getting theirs first discussion. People will complain about being on a list, but having to wait...questions about buying history with the OB, etc etc. It's coming....

 

IDK. It's OF, after all, and not elsewhere, so there will also be authentic delight in the watch and its intricacies, useful technical explainers and some top-end detailed reviews with superb photos that will serve as benchmarks for years to come. Gotta allow for some genuine magic amid all the cynicism and carping. And, IMO, this release brings the magic, whatever the omissions and downsides, the etcs, the on-and-ons.

I was in the AD yesterday and the manager was screening the video that has done the rounds here, of the watch and dial and case-back, and there were several people watching, some watch-lovers and some clearly not, and their interest and pleasure were really something. When it was done the manager said: "It's amazing. It just never gets old," and he may even be right.

 

Yes this thread certainly has a lot of mileage left in it yet!

In my opinion, the back is much more beautiful, in front it would not be one of my favorites
