I....

Anybody with a deposit has been contacted with an estimate?

No details initiated by USA OB. Vague answers to my queries. I've updated my will so it doesn't turn into a total windfall for Omega.

Ha, I did the same thing at the 1-year mark.

The general consensus is that they don’t have any idea of when they are receiving a delivery.
If they get communication about a potential delivery they don’t necessarily know how many watches there will be in the package.
The feeling I got is “whatever will be will be”.

When I got mine from the Houston boutique, they said they were getting about one a month (one every 3-5 weeks). Once they got clarity on where I was on the list, they were able to accurately predict when I was getting mine based off of their delivery schedule with the caveat that they continued getting about one a month. In Q1 2021 they told me to expect delivery Q4 2021 which turned out to be accurate.

Thanks for sharing.
From what I understood it is possible to get more than 1 watch per delivery. Or at least this is what they are hoping for, so they can catch up with the list.

Spoke with the Atlanta OB this weekend and they are averaging about 1 per month and have received roughly 14 so far. I'm about halfway to my name, so they are hoping Q1 or early Q2 of 2023 for me. It's rough watching the ETA keep moving backwards and is a tough pill to swallow knowing that deposit is just sitting there for what will be 2.5+ years before I get a watch.

Received the same response, but with possibly a 2 year wait so late 23 or 24.

Wow, did they give you your position in the list?

From what I understood many OBs haven’t received Snoopies for the past 2-3 months.
Did they tell you what was the delivery situation at your boutique?

NYC boutique has been unable to give me any sort of estimate, but I also do not have a deposit down. I'm just on the "interested" list I guess, although I do have history with the boutique.

No, only asked when would I be able to get some updates on delivery and the person told me possibly not until 2023 or later. I will give until the summer for a better timeline, if not taking my money back. The only way to get it earlier was to purchase additional pieces to show commitment to the brand. Seems like $25k to the brand means nothing. Understand people have employed a lot more capital on the brand but that is the way.

Not specifically, just that they are averaging about 1 per month.

Interesting.
I believe they should give you information about your position in the list, at least what is the range.
Didn’t they offer to give you back the deposit but keep you in list?
Apparently it’s an option now.

I will stop soon at the store and post an update later.

Does anyone know if buying other pieces at the OB can speed up our current positions on the OB Snoopy list or is the position we are in pretty much set in stone at this point?

From what I was told that seems to be the only way to speed the process.

PandaSPUR · Mar 4, 2022

Probably yes, but maybe not depending on how many other big buyers are on the list at your OB.

I'm in NYC and heard nothing promising after buying my Sedna speedy. Prior to that I had purchased my GSOTM from the same OB.
But being in NYC the list is probably full of people with 6 figure histories at that OB.

Wow you got a Sedna speedy but they didn’t allow you to be on the official list?
Unbelievable. They are losing their minds!
I have been on the official list without any purchase from the OB.

Yea, but to be fair to them, I expressed my interest in the snoopy fairly late (months after announcement) and the sedna speedy purchase was summer 2021. So their list must have been huge by then.

My sales associate at the OB is great and I don't fault him at all. It seems like there's just genuinely no way for OBs to know how many they get allocated per month or per year.
