·My deposit was done in January to OB.
You must be a better customer than I am then haha. My OB didn't reach out to me until July or something and only asked me for a deposit today.

·May I ask what kind of deposit the OB's are asking for, full price, 5K USD/EUR, or something else?

·OB just called and asked for $5k deposit. Said this is the deposit amount because the piece won’t be more than $10k. If it had been more than $10k, full deposit would been required.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!

·No deposits required in the UK as yet.
After bank rolling my first Speedy, an A11 50th in January the accounts have been somewhat depleted 😗
This was a pure fluke @Martin_J_N, sorry 🤔. I was intending to buy a standard Moonwatch and they had one in the AD when I called them up so I held it until I could view aka, scrape together the funds.
I was aiming to part ways with one or both of the toy cars this spring to fund a few pieces for my new hobbie, err habit 😁, C-19 put that on hold till next spring as its not a good idea to put a rag top up for sale in the autumn 👎
If it sings to me and I'm lucky enough to receive the call, I'll take a punt on securing one with a deposit/interest free and just pay it off after a few months. You never know, timings might align...
I hope all of us who are interested in owning one for the right reasons receive the call to see one in person and make the decision to buy, or not.

·Just got this e-mail from my OB:
Dear ...,
I wanted to let you know that starting today we are allowed to take $5,000 deposits for the new 50th Anniversary Snoopy Speedmaster. We do not have all the details or photos yet but we know the final price will be around $7,500 to $9,500. Deliveries will start in October into the New Year. It is not a limited edition timepiece but we have heard there is really something special with the movement which you can see with the sapphire caseback.
If you would like to leave a deposit, you can reach me at…

·Still sounds along the lines of my origional thinking...
* cal. 3861
* approx 6,970 LE pieces, it's sounding like an LE drawn out as limited production over two years so Omega gets its slice
* white dial, although 'and blue' sounds intriguing
* the inclusion of white gold being a 50th even though it's a Silver Snoopy Award/A13 related
* approx. £8k as similar pricing to the A11 50th plus recent price hike

So is it a 321 movement which my AD had suggested 😕

·My AD said they had confirmation it was 3861 movement, but that there would be sapphire case back and that there would be something "interesting" going on back there 😒

·Looks like Omega is expanding the waiting to list to more people. I had a deposit with my OB back in June. Today a friend, who was not contacted in June, was contacted today to put the same $7k deposit. It looks like other OBs may be charging other amounts. Like I said before, no consistency.

No way, it would be a 321. I asked about getting one and OB is only offering to people with the right amount of spend. Now, why would they offer it to me now in the guise of a Snoopy.

·Makes sense having the 3861, it then brings the movement into a higher production rate rather than a limited edition or limited production.
Is this the start of the demise of the 1861...

·"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.

·Current rumor is that it is “limited production”. Not sure how you square a LP watch with an event like a 50th anniversary. Omega would look pretty foolish in year 3 selling a 50th anniversary snoopy...

·I decided to go ahead and put the deposit down. Like others have said before, if I don’t like it, the deposit is 100% refundable
