Too late, already happened. The latest Omega catalog arrived last Friday and was quickly nabbed by my teenage daughter who flicked through and stopped at this page

yeh, girls, gold, diamonds, no surprise there I thought, but this is what my, not especially watch-savvy daughter said:-

This is the most Fugly-ass Rolex-looking Omega. “Would you like some more watch with your diamonds madam?” Looks like some Unicorn puked all over it.

10% price hikes, keeping full deposits for 2 years for a novelty dog watch…really bad form.
I have to agree with your daughter. That watch is ugly as.

Another guy I know just got his Snoopy in Europe, he was on the list with a 2K deposit.
While I’m still waiting to know about potential 2022 allocations and I don’t know even if I’ll make the cut… this with a watch payed in FULL since 2020.
There is some disparity here, no?

Anyway, this is a free zen exercise I got from Omega:
Keep cool and calm, close your eyes and repeat “Omega and the boutique will not f**k this up”, alternate with “Aeschlimann promised a watch to real collectors”, and throw here and there “it’s not a commercial operation, delays are due to Covid”.
The Omega zen exercise is the only way to maintain mental sanity.
Try!

Just wondering how you paid for the watch in full in 2019 when it wasn't announced till 5th October 2020?

Ops meant 2020, in September I payed 5000 and October payed the full price + sale taxes.

I just got the email. My Snoopy has arrived at the Dallas OB. I was one of the last people on their list that had placed a deposit and also had a little purchase history. It is my understanding that most of the remaining people on the list have full deposits but no OB purchase history.

I plan to go pick it up tomorrow.

Here is mine that I picked up on Saturday. According to the Dallas OB manager, mine is the 16th or 17th they have delivered.

what a beauty, congratulations!!
Would you mind to share your history with the OB?
Just to gauge expectations for people still waiting with a deposit.
Anyway enjoy your Snoopy, with the bracelet it looks great!

Sure. I bought a Speedy Tuesday Ultraman that went through the boutique. I've also spent about $800 having service done through the boutique on a couple of Omega watches. Total spend is under $10k.

Got it, some history but you didn’t spend 1 million dollars at the OB. This gives some hope to “regular” customers. I guess the delivery time also depends on how many clients with history you have in front of you and how many “whales” there are among those… of course they will get the priority.
Thanks for sharing your experience, much appreciated!
Rock that Snoopy 😉

Spend is similar to mine. Total spend is probably less than $10k with majority of it coming like a decade ago when I bought my 2220.80 and my mom a two-tone Constellation. Since, I've only bought various accessories.

I’m Curious to see if they will have the gut of asking for the price difference to the customers with the watch payed in full.

Curious to know, has anyone in the UK paid in full but is still waiting for their watch with no sign of a delivery date, I was under the impression that a deposit was permissible but not the full price paid in advance until the watch was on its way and the dealer could give you a delivery date. I know that every watch I have 'ordered' irrespective of brand hasn't required the full price to be paid upfront in fact I have only paid two deposits, all my other purchases have been paid in full on receipt of the watch.

Sorry if this is a dumb question... It is there any sense to making a reservation for this watch now without any OB history? Will they even take it at this point?

Challenging but never say never.
If in US they don’t take deposits at the moment, but maybe they will reopen the list. You can register your interest.
