路Well, a simple answer is you will at least realise the differences between 321 and a normal speedy lol...it's all about the history, the legacy behind the movement and maybe even the brand. I am not saying that you can't only have 321 in your speedy collection. But the price tag could be an issue if you are just looking for one "normal" speedy-look watch. More importantly, I was only saying that you would appreciate 321 more if you have already collected a few speedy. If you are not a die-hard speedy fan, you won't collect a few speedy, just my little cents.
Let me try to get this right, ..
So, you have to realize the differences between the 321 and a normal speedy.
You know about the history, the legacy and the brand.
The price tag could be an issue.
You need a collection of Speedmasters to appreciate the 321.
And, if you are not a die-hard speedy fan, you won't collect a few Speedmasters.
You're making it even more difficult for those who are interested in a 321. 馃榾

路Gave up my deposit/place in line today, which I was told was near top of the list - the watch just wasn鈥檛 growing on me and instead of flipping it for a profit felt it best to (hopefully) have it go to someone that will give it a good home. Hope I鈥檓 not kicking myself!

路Thinking of doing the same. Mostly because of frustration. There has been NO news since launch and no update on delivery timeline. Texted my SA 2 weeks ago, no response.
This feels too Rolex-y but atleast they don鈥檛 ask for a deposit. I really hate paying for something not knowing when you鈥檒l get what you paid for. Feels like $5k being held hostage. Honestly, I鈥檝e decided, if there is no news on delivery timeline by thanksgiving, I鈥檓 pulling the deposit.

路I hear the frustration but it is only Nov 18. I know a month or 2 in 2020 feels like 2 years but I鈥檓 sure they鈥檒l start coming through in Q1. In Japan, no deposits can be taken and I鈥檓 on a list at 2 places, no idea where I am on either so I鈥檓 happy to wait and see if I get the message to collect my snoopy next year. But yeah, if I had $5k in it and didn鈥檛 love the watch I鈥檇 put it to better use.

路I鈥檓 also considering pulling my pre-payment. I can鈥檛 use the word deposit since my US OB required I pay in full up front including sales tax. The watch is still interesting to me, but so are other watches that I can actually receive immediately after paying for them. I鈥檓 going to stick it out for a few more week and see if we start to get clarification on realistic delivery timeframes.

I was never interested in this piece but since its release last month and the many pictures and videos released it just seems too cartoonish and unserious. For those that are enchanted by the concept, looks and the Snoopy attraction I'm sure you'll enjoy the piece. But I don't think this one is ever going to be 'off the hook' collectible like the last one.

路But with interest in the US running at almost 0% it is basically just letting Omega hold on to your money, you can always get it back with a phone call.

路From an information stand point, things are not much better here in Asia.
Went to the OB in Singapore over the weekend, was told that they "do not have any information on the shipment date etc."

路Well I'm still interested in the Snoopy and expectations were set by my AD here in the UK to expect delivery towards the end of Q1 2021.
As I managed to pickup the A11 50th, for me at least, it seems obvious to also get the Silver Snoopy 50th and I'm really excited by the possibility to have both in my small but growing stable of pieces.

路Does make you wonder what they鈥檝e been doing all year. All trade shows closed down. This major release and no customer pieces shipped. You would have thought at least a few units made it out in month 1.

You would have to also take into account a couple of major things this year... COVID did shut HQ down for a period and as @Archer has previously pointed out, Omega have suffered some sort of cyber attack. To what affect these have had won't be known to us mortals but these alone with other updated models and various new releases, I don't think Omega have been idle.
I'm by no means defending, I agree that a large quantity should have be ready to be shipped upon launch date back on 5/10/2020 but it is what it is.

路I鈥檝e been considering the same. I鈥檝e been watching for news on concrete deliveries but nothing. Could be a bit of frustration mounting. This will be my first speedmaster and I was really excited at the launch. But as the days pass my excitement is waning.
I鈥檓 told I am close to the top of the list for Canada too.

I'm holding out until we hit Q1 2021, and will then make a call.
My deposit here in Canada wasn't too steep, and I'm fine letting it sit with the AD making nothing instead of in my account making roughly the same amount of nothing for a few months more.
