The issue is that AD didn’t receive any yet.
These are placed by the OB network, and they should verify they are not selling to flippers.
Unfortunately that is a very difficult task that require resources Omega doesn’t really have.
So, of course some watches are going to flippers and resellers.
I know one person that already got 2 from two different countries. He has a relation with both boutiques, he is a “professional flipper”, and he is playing his game.
It’s a shame, but... This is the market.
Concur, it is a shame on Omega and that an online purchase could have been the best possible scenario.
Just got the call. Mine is here.
I have also been lucky enough to get the call today. Absolutely thrilled! Literally wearing it at home watching TV as I don’t want to take it off
Omega either gets these LE's right, or they go off the rails. The Apollo 11 50th (6,969 pieces) went very smoothly, the two ST's (2,012 pcs each) sold out online in less than an hour which caused a lot of complaining but they are still available at a reasonable premium for those that really want one. Ditto for the two CK 2998 LE's (2,998 pcs each). But the Snoopy thing completely overwhelmed them it seems and production seems to be dribbling out. Not sure why, the complication isn't that difficult, but they can't seem to get them to marketplace. Maybe they should just offer NFTs in the future and be done with it. I'm no way in the market for a Snoopy but if I had good, hard money down on one of these I'd be getting a little irked at this point.
Where did you pick up yours?
Agree.
I get that there are reasons for the various production halts, but they seem to able to crank out other models, including the 2021 Speedies and get them to market efficiently. I'm willing to wait through the autumn, but that'll still be over a year since I made the deposit, and I haven't been impressed with the communication of these delays. While the rapturous reception and high demand for =the Snoopy may be positive for the brand the slow rollout and incoherent allocation may not.
Congrats to all who have received yours to date. Still a beautiful piece for sure.
Omega had some objective issues with the production, but the extremely low production rate is something that was planned since the beginning.
They are in the exact position they wanted to be.
Hot reference, huge demand, overall increased attention to the whole brand.
They had the perfect plan, with the perfect halo watch, and they executed it pretty well.
Yeah, well, in some markets the price of admission to get on the sacred list was a FULL DEPOSIT with no time schedule as to when said watch would be delivered, and in the interim news from Omega and their OBs have been somewhere between nil and none. I'd hardly call that execution as being done 'pretty well'. And it seems in the UK some ADs are now refunding deposits without being asked. But some people have convinced themselves that this is some sort of an evil genius plan on the part of Omega. Righteeo.
