I have mixed feelings on this whole shitaree. On a list, with modest deposit, based on my initial reaction to the piece and some of the boxes it ticked for me as a longtime fan of the white-dialled 1861 variants.
But it's true that as time goes by, and other watches catch the eye, I find myself looking at my FOIS and asking myself whether I recall want or need a Speedy with applied indices (nice, but not a deal-breaker for a chrono) a ceramic bezel (I don't) and magic-hand complication (love it, but don't need it), and it comes down to the more accurate movement with hacking and antimagnetic features (important, but I have several other watches that can do that job, including Omegas).
My feeling now is that I'll give it a few more months, get a clearer sense of the Snoopy in the wild, and then maybe look elsewhere. I'm not a speculator and I hate the hassle of selling watches, and there's a few other pieces I suspect I'd enjoy as much or more. But it's hard to make a call in the absence of seeing it in the metal, and there's no chance of that atm.
