    The apollo 11 50th anniversary had the most amazing unboxing experience with all the collectible goodies inside.

    Totally agree, I don't own either piece and for me, these are beyond unobtainium but a new LE/LP Snoopy, shirley* demand and therefore price will go one way...




    *Don't call me shirley

    Not necessarily.....it depends on its appearance, retail price and number made. All three need to be in the right proportion to make the price go up in the long term.

    Ideally they would make 1970 solid white gold LE pieces and then a bunch of steel ones, just like the Apollo 11 50th

    Agreed. Considering Omega is projecting 1000 - 2000 321 movements per year, it is extremely unlikely. It will likely be a 3861 based model or 186x dark side version similar to the Apollo 8.

    Need to stop looking at this. Better have a white dial that is all I ask for.

    I can't imagine that the future snoopy will have the 321 due to the low production. They can't put 321 in every "special" watch. They want to make money and fast to save this sucking year for them.
    Can t wait to see it
    Anyway at the end the case dial will be more important for me here

    I heard that it will be special too with the snoopy. Also it was so cheap to put the normal box for 321 platinum and Steel that it will be different for sure. A crater box like the moonshine will be great...

    Still can't get over the platinum 321 box. That was a really awful move from Omega. Any sort of detail will make the box memorable. Omega has set a low bar for the box extremely easy to beat.

    Same for the Steel one. A bad move that I hope they wont make again

    "Boring package for super expensive watch" is Omega's thing now. The Bond watch comes in a cute little watch roll, sure - but nothing else. For $9000. I'd hope they'll do something more fun with the Snoopy but the trend is towards little to no effort all of a sudden, and I'm not sure why.

    I just don't want a giant watch box like the normal Speedy Pro.

    I'm guessing it will be like the Apollo 11 50th, a giant suitcase but in white.

    The suspense is literally killing me !! what size will it be ? what colour will the dial be ? DON ? What will Snoopy be doing this time ? I am on the list for one so fingers crossed its equal to or better than the 2005 release.

    The watch is going to be very similar to the A11 50th, but with a Silver Snoopy in place of Buzz's butt, there will be a smattering of gold probably in the bezel and hands to acknowledge the golden celebration, and a nice display back to show off the movement but etched into the glass is the text reflecting the achievement, on the caseback surround, Speedmaster A13 50th Anniversary.

    There won't be a 'xxxx of xxxx' as the watch won't be a limited edition.

    Price around £8000 ($10,250), and it comes in a nice trunk based on the Moonwatch Professional but tweaked to reflect the special anniversary.

    All the above my totally uninformed, wild guesses, not an ounce of insider knowledge or leaked information. :D

    Omega could put it in a plastic doghouse for all I care. I'll still buy one
