But that has 19mm endlinks doesn't it?

I believe so.

I have one on order for my FOIS. Can't recall the parts #s but OB didn't indicate that a special hack would be required.

I'm pretty sure the EW 321 bracelet has already been tried with the FOIS and CK2998's and it was determined that the bracelet wouldn't fit without US or Forestner endlinks.

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.
@nr1416 You were also on the list at Yorkdale right? Did you initiate the request to get the deposit back? I'm still on the list and just wondering if I missed some communication from them for our deposits.

Not on the list at EJ / Yorkdale, but with my Canadian AD there was a communication in Dec 21 sent out to those on the list advising that there had been no updates as to delivery dates for the Snoopy Award, and that we were welcome to a return of our deposit or -- better yet! -- a transfer of that deposit to another watch in stock.

I suspect that this communication was linked to an Omega directive. Since then, our list has received no notices, updates or offers. We have had to reach out directly for information and/ or secure the return of our deposit.

I don't think this experience has done any favours, beyond a tranche of interest-free loans, for Omega ADs who have yet to receive a watch.

Yes I got it back from Yorkdale, I went in and asked for it. Took 3 weeks to get it back but got it in the end. I spoke to a few other Omega ADs in the GTA and they all said the same thing. The Snoopy is a boutique only watch but Omega isn't coming out and saying it directly as some countries don't have OBs.

I went as far as calling the Swatch group Canada directly and they said European Jewelers at Yorkdale or any other AD for that matter should have Never taken deposits in the first place. So basically these ADs took it into their own hands to start collecting easy money with the deposits. Yorkdale took 100 deposits at $4000 each, so do the math. Not a bad interest free loan too keep your business a float during covid lockdowns in 2020 when they took the deposits. This wasn't Omegas fault and all to do with the ADs taking advantage of the situation and then putting the blame on Omega for not getting something they weren't getting in the first place.

Hi,

I think that depends on the country - in Europe ADs get the Snoopy. I will collect my Snoopy next
week from my brilliant AD which is not even listed on the Omega Homepage as an AD! ::facepalm1::

It doesn't seem that a lot of snoopy have been delivered since the beginning of the year, rumours were perhaps true...

No rumours. Person I know at Omega in Australia still say it will be produced well into 2024. One on a Aussie site picked one up the other day.
He also mentioned they are still contacted weekly with new people that want to go on the list. (Which is not a possible anymore)

From what I've seen they are usually delivered in batches to OBs all around the same time. They come in waves for sure.

That would mean over 20k units, I guess.

^ what he said. they've always come in waves. if someone bothered to sift through the 263 pages of this thread, they might find some kind of pattern/schedule.

I asked my SA at the OB in NYC and he said he heard similar rumors from other customers but had no update from Omega itself.

Congratulations to all new owners.
Almost 2 years with this marvelous watch.

@nicolamilton Is that the new 3861 bracelet? Was any modifications needed to get the right fit?

No modifications were needed to fit a 3861 bracelet to a late 2019 Cal 1861 Speedmaster, either. Tight fit, no gaps, using the standard 1.8 mm springbars. (068ST2207)
