Seems to have vanished off of Chrono?

 

its gone from chrono24. Bogus listings?

 

Can anyone share any thoughts, the significance and the collectability of the Baby Snoopy / Snoopy Reduced - came across some on C24 and the like and seem to be quite interesting - also they quote 39mm is that FOIS 39.7 size or smaller?

 

Baby Snoopy? Are you referring to the blue and white panda dial CK2998?

 

No - its seems to be a name used on multiple listing so I imagine (may be wrong) that it isnt the seller just making up the name.

the ref is 3510.20 I think

 

They also disappear when they get sold though, don't they?

 

The eBay post is down now too.

 

I had bookmarked the ad and instead of showing „sold“ it‘s now listed as unavailable.... So most probably not sold and also most probably never been available...

 

I finally paid a visit my local OB. The manager informed me that Omega HQ decided who would receive the first allocations. I am assuming it would have to do with purchase history, etc. Additionally, she informed me that all that have confirmed deposits will receive their watch. This is all second hand information (of course), but thought I would pass along info that I was told. . Happy to see the first customers receiving theirs though!

 

I heard something similar. So looks like VIPs will get them first. Sucks that those who put in their deposits first will now have to wait even longer.

 

I really believe their motivation is to try and keep them out of the hands of flippers. Most enthusiasts with large OB purchase history are likely to have also placed their deposits immediately. I can understand “first deposit, first watch” approach, but if you have a large group of people who placed deposits immediately within a few hours of the announcement ... how do you decide order of delivery? They can identify people with a large purchase history that have built relationships and been loyal to the brand for years. These people are least likely to flip. I wouldn’t be surprised if length of relationship is also part of the equation.

 

Here in Portugal they didn't accepted deposits. I've tried and neither OB or ad's were allowed to.

 

Might be a local law prohibiting it.

I know here in the US, deposits don't mean much to either party other than an intent to purchase by me and intent to sell by the OB. My receipt for my deposit to the OB even says deposit does not guarantee delivery. The OB can in theory refund my deposit at any time and I can request a refund at any time.
