·Actually Omega is changing the rules for LE, OB are not more in charge of the deliveries of the LE , the order comes from « Marketing » that allocate the watches on the big customers spending every year or because the buy the Speey in platinum they get the snoopy , OB cannot allocate now and receive orders to deliver , it start to be complicate for smaller but regular customer to be recognized as customers now.

·Did hear from my AD recently on this and he said he's meeting with Omega in March and expects an update on allocations and ETAs for the first 10 on his deposits list. There are over 100 people on his "if a Snoopy comes in by some miracle no else wantsa it can I have it?" list.
That's not to say that there will be any movement, but those at the top of the list did receive an email last year with a general state of the nation regarding Snoopy allocations. So maybe yes, maybe no, likely never.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerYes, I also use it very much.
Maybe we haven't this part, due to animation in the caseback, who knows. @Archer must know:
The part is in every 3861. They originally came with thebushing you see there, and new watches should come with the updated bushings. Any watch sent for service will automatically have these bushings changed to the new design.

·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.
Interesting. I have not had trouble with my Apollo 11 either . . . . runs about 60 hours and chrono works fine, although I rarely activate it.
But I really cannot hear anything from my Apollo 11 while its running . . . . I wonder if thats a bad sign.
Actually, I wonder if Omega has held back most of the Snoopys until they got this chrono sorted (especially given the unique caseback), and now the deliveries are coming again ?

·I’m still waiting to get news about this year allocation…
Today I got an email from Omega, and I thought yes my Snoopy… but of course that wasn’t the case, it was “happy Valentines”.
They shouldn’t do this to customers waiting an email from them!
I almost had an heart attack for the excitement and the realization that it was just a commercial brought too much depression after the adrenaline rush.
Omega folks: be considerate of your customers health. If on the Snoopy waiting list spare us the advertisement emails!

your post made me laugh remembering when I got the call. I was lying in bed with a hangover on December 30th (post a night out with mrs steve C) when my phone went with an 0208 number, so I ignored it and went back to sleep - didn’t know it so left it to ring.
I eventually awoke and remembered my phone had gone so typed the number into Google and when it came up omega boutique I virtually had a heart attack (it couldn’t have been anything else). I’ve never felt so sober so quickly and rang up and the rest is history!
amazing how these things occur. Looking forward to you receiving yours.

·I was at work when I got my call. Normally I get a bunch of spam calls on my cell phone so I ignore most calls. When I saw the number I knew it wasn't a spam call but couldn't place where I've seen the number so I decided to pick up the phone. As soon as I heard "this is ____ from the Houston Omega Boutique" I knew what the call was for.

·Today is 2 years of my initial $5k deposit. Life is great when you loan money to a friend and after 2 years you have nothing to show for. Next time it will be me to ask for money and expect a 0% loan for a few years. My apologies had to vent my frustrations.

·Hope I’m not barking up the wrong tree when I ask if it’s RUFF to see values go through the ROOF? But, seeing that happen, has that gotten anyone out of the dog house with their SO?
These are the bones I’ve been chewing on lately.

·It really seems that some Snoopies are getting delivered, but there is so much heterogeneity in the allocation that is basically impossible to understand if there is any planning or scheme for sending the watches to the OBs.
It seems that some OBs in Europe are receiving about 1 to max 2 watches per month.
While other boutiques, including in US, didn’t get any piece since November.
Also, some clients have received a formal estimate regarding this year deliveries, while others are completely in the dark.
At this point my hope is not necessarily to “get the watch now”, but at least to have some sort of communication and acknowledgment of the situation with a plausible timeframe for the delivery.
I understand they got surprised about the demand and there was (there is) Covid, etc… but lacking this minimal communication it’s a bit shortsighted from the Omega commercial department.
An email or a phone call would be sufficient.
Anybody with a deposit has been contacted with an estimate?
