And this is the reason why Omega will produce considerably more SS versions of the watch compared to the 1970 watches produced for the 45th anniversary.
The beer virus-wrecked part of my logical brain is wary about putting down a 5k deposit. I told them I would stop by next week and ask more questions regarding their deposit process. Do they actually charge your credit card at the time of the deposit or just have your information down and then will charge you once the watch is released/in stock? Does anyone have experience with this process?

Jeez....there's still 4 days left.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this go for like $33-$35k. That’s what they’re being listed for on chrono24 before the 7.5% tax that just got implemented yesterday.

🤔
I believe the 2003 " Eyes on the Stars " subdial Snoopy and the 2015 Silver Snoopy came in a special smaller box... so fingers crossed !
Jeez.... ruins it for us all that want to own one lol.
Not sure if you’re going through an AD or OB...
As mentioned before, my OB required a $7k refundable deposit. That meant my credit card was charge and I’m paying that bill. If I were you, just call and get all the info you so you can decide. If you’re set on this watch and you have the means, $5k isn’t too bad for 2 months.
Good luck!
I'm going through an OB, as I've heard there's a better chance at obtaining one through them versus an AD. I spoke to the manager yesterday regarding the process and he patiently explained it. He said so far there are only 2 people who have posted up a $5k deposit because no matter what the watch looks like, they want one. He said that despite not having a deposit, that I still have a good chance at obtaining a piece. I told him the closer we get to October and more info comes to light/the reveal, would determine whether I'd be in or not. It seems like I'm not the only one.
Yep with the rumored 7000 units, I think I'm going to wait to see it (and what the package w/extras is) before going in on it. Should be interesting.
Yeah, I've heard both rumors 7000 units and limited release, like the Ed White. I suppose time will tell. 😉
I still hope for an LE vs limited release but who knows.
I guess with 7k units, waiting might be ok. I’d make sure you check in regularly to see if their procedures hasn’t change. You might want to let the OB know to contact you if they change their wait to a deposit. That’s what happened to me. I received an email on 6/5 to be on a waitlist. I had to put a deposit down on 6/26 to keep my spot.
I'll keep you all posted.
In the meantime at Christie, there is the continued and lingering price frenzy with snoopy 2. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/...ster-silver-snoopy-award-apollo-xiii-17/92857
you have to add the following:
buyer premium (25% to the auction house) of the final hammer price
1% for loss insurance
taxes
shipment.
at the current bid, this is in excess of US$35K ex taxes
If you add all of the above, it’s going to close to $50k! That’s bonkers on a watch originally listed at $7k.
