Some of them will wait too if the demand is as some say it is. Will depend on your location and the demand there

you could have got your deposit in then and be quite a way down the list.

 

For those, I understand frustration.
For others trying to get one now after realising of the hype (because they weren't sure about not limited edition or they were waiting for discounts after first releases), not.

 

Or maybe they didn't have the money in October, but had it in December or January.

 

If someone didn't have the money in October, neither should they buy it now.

 

Without being disrespectful I don't think it's up to you to decide how people should spend their money. Live and let live.

 

I'm not deciding, I'm giving my opinion.

 

Uh...I hate to point this out to you, but there are some people who didn't have the money in October, but have the money now. Or will have the money in March or April.

 

Ok maybe, what I really mean is that someone can regret not having pulling the trigger at the moment, but at least there was a choice and they shouldn't feel frustrated now if they were in doubt about placing an order, in my opinion.

 

I agree. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is a big motivator for me, and has resulting in many mistakes and many successes. I chose to not buy a Speedmaster 10 years ago because there was no "urgency." I know that they'll be making Speedys as long as they continue to make watches. So there was always some new watch with a narrow "purchasing window." With the benefit of hindsight, I should have gotten a 3570.50 back then and skipped the Tourneau TNY Chronograph. The TNY is a really nice watch, IMHO, but it cost about the same as a used moon watch when I got it, and now can be had for $600.

However, I'm a good example here regarding ordering a Snoopy. If the watch came out a year ago, I'd gaze at it wistfully (like I did the 2015 model) because it was out of my price range. I was laid off due to COVID last year, so in October, I wouldn't have even gazed at it wistfully. I would have just grunted and moved on. Also, the closest OB is about a five hour drive. NOW, though, I'm starting a new job, making more money. So realistically, I shouldn't be thinking about a 2020 Snoopy for at least another six months. But if an OB called me and said "We have an extra, and it's $10,000 including tax and shipping." I'd whip out my credit card so fast that I'd fracture my wrist. That wouldn't have happened any time in the last few years, for me. And if they do, in fact, keep manufacturing them for years, as long as people keep ordering them, I'll probably get one. Although if they jump the price $5000 in 2023, I won't...

 

That's the way life goes. I wanted a white Patek 5711 and those were readily available in 2015. I didn't have the money then. By the time I made enough to afford one at MSRP, I was SOL because the hype was too much. I missed out on a bunch of watches I wanted back in the day that I couldn't afford then but can now.

 

I got into watches in late 2009 (ironically by walking into the Omega Boutique on 5th Avenue) and there are a few "expensive" watches that I was eyeing that I didn't pull the trigger on back then, like the 2003 Snoopy and the Alaska Project. Both were around $5000-6000 at the time. So unless the price collapses I will probably never buy one. Even if I was looking for something in that price range. Speaking of which, one my grail watches is the Nardin Le Freak, and you can get a "Freak Out" for less than any Snoopy on Chrono24 right now.

 

Mine arrived last Sunday.
Been wearing all week and the strap has softened up nicely.
It will not be getting a bracelet.
Looks great the way it left Omega.

 

Has anybody in the UK received a snoopy yet

I wonder how all the flippers for a few thousand all those years ago of the Snoopy 2 feel now it’s worth 50k nearly.

 

My motto is. There’s never a bad time to take a profit.

 

Years ago I bought some stuff from the US Mint that I flipped. Then I made the mistake of buying some stuff that I thought would be "hot," and held onto it for too long...

And, I'm sure those Snoopy flippers are all kicking themselves

 

I actually did emailed the omega through their email at the website. Surprisingly, they did noticed and tried their best to accomodate my email. A day or two after they replied me, my local OB called me, saying that the principal asked them to contact me. After they "write" my name on what they called "waiting list", i have not hear anything again. I mean, how do i know if they really put my name there? How do i know if the list is even exist?

 

The “waiting list” exist. It’s something they are doing to organize customers that might jump on the “official” list, when they will reopen it.
Being on the waiting list doesn’t guarantee you a watch, and doesn’t mean you will be transferred to the official waiting list.
You should try to have a sale associate name that can work with you. If you have history with Omega, that helps in making your case.
