Today OB in Spain told me that they have already delivered 11 pieces.
Good things are slowly moving!
Good size OBs were expecting 2-3 pieces per month. So I guess your OB is in line with this estimate.

Still a whole load of interest regarding this Amazing piece. But, with the waiting time being speculated for an Anniversary piece surely the only ones that are truly desirable are the 2020 true Anniversary pieces....Who wants a 21st birthday present for there 23rd? Just a thought

LV was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner.
Who wants an LV today? 😉

I'm definitely going to ask for my deposit back now since I couldn't get a true 2020 anniversary piece.

You mean, you don't have one yet? That's a shame

If it’s a choice between no Snoopy, and waiting two years, I’ll wait.

Just got a call from the Houston OB. Basically they stopped adding people to the [edited for clarification ""] "waitlist of the" waitlist, and split the existing list into 3 groups (wasn't told how many in each group). Folks in the:

- first group will receive a watch in 1 month to 1-ish year. I am in this group but way behind the Omega best customers (the hoarders 🙁).
- second group will receive a watch in 2 to 4 years,
- third group will get a refund.

They have delivered only 2 so far, and FWIW the US [edited for clarification ""] "waitlist of the" waitlist is about 24k person long.

Side note: the waitlist for the 321 is closed, so I asked them to add me to the "waitlist of the" waitlist if it's open again ::facepalm1::

Wow. Is this grouping according to your OB or corporate?

I wonder what group I’m in then. I’m hoping the first...

No other details were given to me, other than my priority (at this OB) is lower than the customers who have bought beaucoup of watches at this OB (this is only my fourth). So sounds like OB but I can't swear to that.

When I saw this I sort of panic'd and called my OB.. They claim they weren't told anything from Corporate at all. However, they assured me if you actually put a deposit down its guaranteed.

Agree, in US with the deposit your watch is guaranteed.
Allocation is decided by Omega HQ at the moment.

ok, so how many in terms of % of the 24K put a deposit? 10%, 20%, 50% ? so all deposits are guaranteed then.

They closed the lists with deposit within a couple of weeks from the launch.
There are not 24K customers with deposits in US.
Big OBs collected about 200 deposits from what I heard.
Corporate stopped the deposits officially for all of them in October.
That’s why the “lists of interest” were created.
The thousands of people are on the list of interest, not on the deposit official list.
Bottom line is that US customers on the OB deposit list have the watch guaranteed, while if in the list of interest, nothing is guaranteed.

My Canadian OB informed me that 10 had arrived at our location thus far. They told me that I will likely get mine in 2022. They also offered to refund my deposit and keep my place in line but I decided to minimize my chances of any funny business and declined a deposit refund!

At the very least I got to play around with the display Snoopy 50 they had at the OB, which was nice.

Sounds like they were watching Glengarry Glen Ross:

1st prize is a Cadillac
2nd prize...a set of steak knives
3rd is yer fired.

I’m on the list in Japan but my AD told me they won’t be getting any. That just leaves me with the OB. There’s a slim slim chance.

I happened to find myself near an OB today. They’re small, but they had 60 on their deposit list (8 watches had been delivered) and they had 20+ pages of wait list beyond that.

Picked ours up from the OB in Brisbane (Australia) over the weekend. Arrived there like 6 weeks ago I just hadn’t had the chance to pick it up.
They said the other few that arrived the owners where there in like 30min, understandable 😀
