Not great news if true re: removal from internal catalogue, although it would surprise me if they stop milking it as they have long lists of people who are ready to shell out the cash the instant they get the call.

Sucks especially for us Canadians who are waiting from a local AD. Sadly there's only one OB in Canada and it's on the other side of the country (and likely with a very long list of interested patrons after all these years...) As far as I'm aware not a single AD has recieved allocation here.

That's correct, according to my AD, who had the Omega rep in recently. They had "no updates" on the subject of AD deliveries, many of which involved deposits.

I was in touch with the lone OB early on following the announcement. They were helpful, as always -- the advice was to order via my AD.

So it goes. Good to see them continuing to roll out at least.

Has the removal from the internal catalogue been confirmed by anyone else? I have asked this week my US AD (not OB) and the answer was "we haven't received any update of the internal catalogue in this respect".

I was in the same boat and recently got my deposit back from my AD. ADs in Canada have not gotten 1 Snoopy yet and if they do each AD might get 1 or 2 a year at this point. So I figured I was top 5 at my AD with the deposit it was impossible for them to fulfill all the orders they took specially with the Snoopy not going to be out for much longer with the 55th anniversary coming in 2 years.

Unlikely Omega will be doing any sort of 55th anniversary watches, that doesn't fit in with their current strategy. So no 55th Apollo 8, 11 or 13.

Agree. I’m also not expecting a 55th anniversary Snoopy.

Neither the OB nor ADs have any insight into this. It seems Omega HQ has sadly blindsighted ADs (at least in Canada) as there are many customers with deposits now for over 2 years with no updates.

I have heard the same re: 1 or 2 a year but then again... I heard the same last year so only time will tell. I don't think I am getting one at retail anytime soon sadly.

I recently acquired a 50th anniversary, but it not the Snoopy 3 because my AD with whom I had my deposit at since August '19 has been terminated as an Omega salespoint per end of 2022 (happened to a few AD' in the Netherlands).

Quite happy to move on:

I love this one. 1 of 50!!! Yours looks like the rose gold variant. I think it is the best of the 3... You have great taste, my friend!

Thanks for the kind words, although I already have 2 EP's, the A386 fine watch club and an airweight covergirl, the iconic colourscheme with the lacquered white dial truly out of this world imho.

It’s a fake! There’s a subdial missing!

Still looking at the flat link bracelet option . The 50th anniversary need some work on the end-links and checked the German web site for that , but also the Flat link of the Ed White ( new speeded master 321) is appealing anyone tried already ?
