The wait is not helping in the case and the fact that I have 10k tied to something that may come late in 21 or 22 is definitely working as there are opportunity costs associated with the purchase since FEB 2020 when I left my initial deposit of 5k. Just venting. Great to see some of you are enjoying your piece.

Lots of folks in the same boat. Not that I plan on selling, but knowing that the demand is so hot, gives me some consolation for waiting.

Did you order yours from the OB in VAN? One of my colleagues there has been told he's looking at early 2022. Not sure if any have arrived in Canada yet.

Yes Scapa my deposit is down at the Van OB. Any ideas wherebouts your colleague is on the deposit list? After reading some of the comments on here, even early 2022 is starting to sound like a generous estimate!

Was hoping to get mine in '21 to commemorate my son's birth year.

Fingers crossed for you @Pipes McGee! The Snoopy would be a great piece to hand down some day to your son too 😉

Thanks for the info -- he's somewhere in the first 10, supposedly, but not sure he'd bet on that number or early 2022... 😉

We missed the birth year of our youngest already, but his brother scored the 2018 SMP diver, so a FOIS may play better anyway long-term, lest sibling rivalry Succession-style break out....

Shopping mall at Tysons Corner, Virginia ( 20 minutes from Washington, DC ) OB yesterday . . . " It will probably take us all 4 years just to fulfill all our orders with deposits. If you really want one sooner best to look at the secondary market. "
I can confirm this. I go to the same boutique! 😀 Luckily I am on the list with this OB. It is just a waiting game.....

+1 Not sure if/when I will ask for my deposit back if this keeps getting delayed. I was told Q1 2021 when I put my deposit down before launch...now no idea. I may give it 1 year from launch to show up as I don't like my money tied up and the novelty/excitement will probably wear off by then I think at this rate of radio silence.

Has anyone tried fitting the newer moonwatch bracelet onto their snoopy? I'm guessing it should fit, and would like to order the sapphire sandwich version of the bracelet if so.

There's a person on instagram that did this. If you do a search for #canopusgold, you will see his Snoopy 50 with the bracelet.

Aim high I guess and settle on something more reasonable.

When you put out such a ridiculous price, you deserve all the ridiculous counter offers.

What always cracks me up is when someone does something like this (offer an item for sale at multiples of a fair/market price) and their counter argument is "Well, SOMEONE might buy it at that price, and then I'll make a lot of money." Those kinds of people usually have rationalizations for the lack of sales.

On the other hand, if I owned a Silver Snoopy, I might actually offer it for an absurd amount like that just because, well, everything has its price...

Nice to know these are ending up in the hands of ‘genuine’ Omega enthusiast...😒
