I’ve never sold any of my watches. While I’ve been fortunate to acquire a few desirable pieces, I don’t buy with investment in mind. My 45th snoopy was purchased for my wife for Mother’s Day. She’s a huge snoopy fan and didn’t like wearing watches any more. It was serendipitous when I saw that watch and showed her. Her reaction was enough to go and get it. She loves wearing that watch. I had no idea at the time of its FUTURE value since the 1st snoopy was only selling for a slight premium in 2015.
Today, we’re at a different place with the snoopy. There is a lot of hype around the new watch. I put a deposit down knowing nothing other than it’s coming. But by having a deposit, it ensures that we will get the chance to decide if we like the watch. We will be free from the stress of chasing it with all those other people hoping to flip it. If we don’t like it, we’ll pass because owning it is not the same as keeping it for an investment.
On a side note for anyone planning to buy it from an OB. If you plan being able to acquire desirable Omega pieces from an OB, do not buy to flip this watch. I was told by my OB that they banned people who flipped the 45th snoopy. Those individuals will not be allowed to by this or any limited/desirable pieces.
