My feeling is a firm, hard deposit puts you in a pretty strong position to get the item. Putting your name on a list w/o a deposit may work, or you may never get 'the call'. If you can afford to keep the deposit on the watch I'd stand pat.

Shouldn't Omega just boost production and focus almost solely on this piece to keep up with demand? Especially if it is not a numbered limited release, they should pump them out so they can fulfill orders when the demand is hot. Soon the demand i think will wear down and people probably will take their names off the list. Just my opinion. I was late to the game and just added my name to the waiting list yesterday at a boutique so i am not expecting anything for maybe years haha 😀

I can guarantee that if these were readily available in every country, in every shop and you could walk in and buy one anytime, very few people would be interested. Same applies to a Rolex Daytona and most luxury items.
Yea but Omega operates differently--from what i see. They want people to be able to walk in and get what they want. And this is further proved by this specific watch being non-limited or numbered. So the only thing stopping them now is production. Maybe they will start to boost it though in the coming months and hopefully everyone who wants one will get one by the end of this year. fingers crossed.
They do want to move away from the LE model. I understand they want this to be their Daytona and they will control and massage supply to ensure they achieve this.
It seems they are also allocating the watch for the specific client.
Do you know if your Snoopy was allocated to you by Omega HQ?
Congrats btw... stunning watch 😉
Thanks. Yes that's correct. I was told the allocations are being made by Omega HQ based on past relationship and transactions with the group
Thanks for confirming. This is what I heard from different people in Europe and US.
But from what I understood is not strictly related to the transactions, apparently once the "relationship" is verified the timing of request/deposit is playing a role. Ultimately nobody really knows the criteria for the allocation.
The only point that they are trying to make sure is that the client is not a flipper.
So far I see about 10 on the secondary market, so it seems they are doing a good job on this side.
It's interesting actually. The watch is currently only being made available to OB's at the moment so all those you see on the secondary market will have been allocated to 'validated' individuals and still ended up being flipped. Omega are looking at the ones on the secondary market and where they can identify the piece, they are absolutely taking those people off those validated lists.
I’m very pleased for the picks ups but that’s the 7th or 8th snoopy delivered to London, reported on this forum and none have made it to Manchester or Birmingham.
Not good distribution within the uk.
Thanks. Yes that's correct. I was told the allocations are being made by Omega HQ based on past relationship and transactions with the group
I didn't have purchase history with OB, but a few with ADs (2, the rest second hand), and got it anyway.
Can Omega HQ know my history with ADs?
