It’s a snoopy, there was a picture of it in the box, George signed the right side of the box
Checked in with my local OB where I am on waitlist for Snoopy as I wanted to buy the blue strap for my Diver 300. My number was in low 40s. They are now quoting 2024/2025 with the current delivery schedule that they have (1 per month). One of the SA said that the early ones are going to VIPs with $100k+ spend.
I do appreciate that Omega, unlike Rolex, gave me a chance to be on a real waitlist for this watch without any purchase history. However, unless Omega increases production in 2022 and 2023, waiting 3-4 years for a fully paid watch is absolutely ridiculous. What options do I have? Nothing but continue waiting. Really hate what this hobby has turned into during last 2 years; the brands are taking the collectors for an absolute ride.

You’re on the waitlist only or you’ve paid in full already with an allocation?
I think your choices are wait, or bail.
I'm very happy with my FOIS, especially since it is now running between -.04 and +.06 Spd with excellent stability across positions. I've cancelled my Snoopy and in so doing got a refund, consolation discount and extra strap on a 2021 SMP. I'd been expecting mine in late 2021/2022 but heard recently from my AD that this had moved back at least a year.
It's a cool watch, but in the end for me, not worth another year+ wait, unless the plan is to receive, flip and profit. YMMV, of course.
Same boat; there’s no difference between genuine collectors, wannabe flippers and first time chancers to these corporates. They don’t care.
you simply take your deposit back. if you choose not to, then it would appear you don’t mind waiting all that much.
That’s not been my experience, but sorry yours has left you feeling that way.
The Snoopy situation is interesting, because unlike the NEW321, Omega has purported that if you’ve had down a full deposit you’ll get a watch (notwithstanding reports that some OBs have been instructed to return some deposits). In which case, one would think that all else being equal they’d simply slam out the “promised” pieces
Obviously all else isn’t equal, and so there’s some reason they’re not slamming out the “promised” pieces. Seems necessary that either they’re unable to, or instead unwilling to.
Why would they be unable? I can’t think of any good reason. Supply chain issues for this watch shouldn’t be so material that folks are predicting years out.
Why would they be unwilling, especially in the face of potentially upsetting a portion of their clients?
Throttling the secondary market? Developing exclusivity? They’re evil?
