Why raise the price on something that you can't buy... what a joke.

Pricing is never firm, look at those people who bought Teslas right before they had a price cut....tough luck for them. That's just the way the world works.

Hey all, I joined a few days ago just to reply here. My AD was not originally allocated any Snoopy’s. I had asked for one for a long time. They were able to continue to work with their rep’s and got one in yesterday (found out about it last week), to which was offered to me. Another person I know has shared that an AD in vegas has received 3 in the past several weeks. Seems there are some landing right now.

That's good to hear that AD's are starting to get some Snoopies.

Well,

interesting to see the difference in colour at the subdials in specific angles, due to the the different production methods (paint vs pvd)

I read some where the Snoopy Sub dial is part of the Silver dial and thats why its a shade different. The Subdials at 3 and 6 are applied.

I already paid in full with OB in USA, if they ever give me a watch, I am supposed to pay more?

Depends on what you're receipt says and how good of a customer you are to the OB.

Depends on what Omega's T&Cs are. They MAY honor the price when you paid in full, or they may charge you the current price when they finally deliver the watch. Give them a call and see what their policy is.

My AD honoured the first price rise, but have said they can't continue that, since the constant delays are no fault of theirs.

I get the logic, but it's also a bit ridiculous that the inability / unwillingness of a manufacturer to dispatch goods in a timely manner ends up costing the customer significantly more, even as ADs benefit from large interest-free loans. But it isn't just Omega at this point -- many ADs are now asking for deposits on everything from Pelagos 39s to various Cartier Santos models. Waiting list deposits seem to have become part of the AD business model.

I suspect that if GM prices matched MSRP we'd see waiting lists shorten. My partner has taken to calling it "the Snoopy Lottery."

100%. Omega is playing games.

It's officially harder for me to get the snoopy than Rolex sport models. I've been waiting for my snoopy since 2020 without any updates. Same time period, I have collected Batgirl, Pepsi, Starbucks, root beer and polar ex2 lol. All at MSRP at the ad.
