Anyone in Canada receive their Snoopy yet from a AD? From what I was told only the 1 OB in Vancouver has delivered Snoopys so far.

Vancouver OB only, according to my AD. Other popular models seem to be "reserved" for the OB here also -- that's how I got my last Omega, after deciding I didn't want to wait months to get it (or not) from my usually reliable AD. So not only do Omega seem to be shrinking margin for ADs, they also seem to be prioritizing the lone Canadian OB. Have heard the same thing about IWC here also.

So does that mean ADs wont be getting many Snoopys if any?

If they were available from a retailer then they wouldn't be (pardon the expression) over the moon in the grey market......Total BS the way that Omega rolled out this watch......If it was available (normally) I would own one, same as a lot of people here.....I put down a deposit on one and took it back! I'm sure as hell not going to wait for years to acquire one as there are MANY other watches out there that are ( a'hem Rolex) available with much shorter wait times then this watch. I do want one but I for one won't play an 'effing game to get one....the limited edition model is old!!!! People should be able to buy something within a reasonable time period..... It's BS that's going on right now.......OMEGA are you listening? Don't piss off the the loyal client base or lose them to someting else. End of rant but I am 100 percent serious.

This is coming from someone that owns (owned) both the Omega, Rolex and other brands/models....

Agreed chateaux 100% 😀 my friend … but I just hate the new normal and I just want to buy a watch. It is a shame that people that love the brand (as opposed to the speculators) can’t get what they really want…..

Yep, quote 200%, we are on the same boat.
As I have been saying this is a Zen exercise, we have to be extremely calm and patient 😉
The Snoopy will arrive… eventually.
Hopefully the list update will bring some good news to us. Fingers crossed!

Snoopy has landed!

Placed my deposit with the OB back in September 2020 and took delivery today. Oddly enough I called the OB yesterday on a whim to see if they had any updates and was told it "should be in this quarter" and then I got a call earlier this afternoon saying today was the day. Hang in there everybody it is well worth the wait!

I've got a deposit with an AD but I'm doubting whether it will be delivered. Does anyone know the status of AD deliveries. My AD says the deposit is 'registered' with Omega - does this mean anything to anyone?

Has anyone experienced the "3861 issue" with your Snoopys?
This question might be better addressed to the Apollo 11 owners as those are presumably larger in quantity.

No, and I was thinking about that especially as my Apollo 11 50th had it. Will be interesting if any of them do….

There may be 4/5000 Snoopys around already...
(Half in safes more likely)

I haven't experienced any issues with either my Snoopy or my Apollo 11. I have ran them for hours each with the Chronograph function engaged and both work well. I am hoping that it stays this way... Interesting side note, my Apollo 11 is noticeably louder than my Snoopy, you can really hear it tick. I can hear it when it's on my wrist a few feet from my ear at the right angle.
