Yes sir! I'm just thinking what should I do if I get my call after another rise!!
I''m someone not bothered with current market prices so at some point the RRP will exceed what I'm willing to spend on a SS with silver dial watch, €11.6K is too much imho. Full disclosure: as Omega has skipped Dutch fans (we don't have an OB and my AD has been terminated as an Omega dealer) I moved on and bought a Zenith El Primero A386 RG 50th anniversary.

I'm sorry to hear it, but that El Primero is an absolutely stunning watch -- hard to imagine a finer "consolation prize..."

Got the call, just before the price increase in my country. Really amazing watch in the flesh, the silver dial just pops differently from my CK2998 blue.

In the Netherlands increase is 21% fromm introduction price (9.6K > 11.6K).
Price increases probably more due to currency devaluation against the CHF vs actual Omega just being greedy.

In the US, prices went from $9600 to $10,000 so the price increase hasn't even kept up with inflation here. I think 2021 inflation in the US was like 3.5% and 2022 was closer 8%. Inflation adjusted, the US price should be closer to $10,700.

Enjoy and let us see some pics !

How long have you waited for ?
sure 😉 still totally overwhelmed - waited approx. 9 months
(actually, much longer as I tried to get a snoopy 1 in 2003, and a snoopy 2 in 2015)

Got the call yesterday and collected today at O.B, Bond St, London. I registered my interest in Sept 2020 so anyone waiting, hang in there.

The sales team said Snoopy 50's are coming in slightly faster than last year... mine is the 5th delivered this year so far, compared to around 1 per month last year.

They also said the shop wait list was +200, so even at 30-50 per year there's a good few years to fill the book. Current wait list there was estimated at 9-10 years, so pointless.

Very happy with it indeed, especially on the new adjustable 3861 bracelet.

Good luck!

Congrats! Looks great on the bracelet. May have to pick one up for mine. I have been thinking about doing so for quite a while.

Isn't it unfair for people waiting for more than two years to see AD allowed to give allocation of Snoopy from 2023 ?

How many thousands you think have been delivered yet?
I think over 10.000.
And many more yet to come.

I'd guess about 7k.

Got my Beagle today from the Canadian OB. Stay strong everyone, things are moving!
Congrats! I'd be happy just to get the plush toy.

I’m offering 2x whatever @DoctorEvil has on the table for that Snoopy stuffy!

Congrats, great to some of these arriving in Canada. Hopefully a few trickle out to ADs also and soon.

Hello guys,

What a perfect time with the new moonswatch to remind us about the hype on real Moonwatch, we have not seen new ones for a long a time.

By the way I would enquire an advice.
Still among people waiting for their timepiece, and kind of fear about a possible end of production in one or two years whereas I was told 2025 when I joined a european list in July 2021 with no buying history. I was thinking about which gain buying an old presage collection watch I really liked when I saw it two years ago (at 4k€) would help not to go to the top of the list but at least go over all people with no buying history on the list as we now that having an history helps in the allocation. Would it be enough ?

It really depends on the dealer and how transparent they are willing to be with you. To be honest, I'm not sure a 4k purchase would make much of a dent on such an in demand watch, but can't hurt to ask. Unfortunately, we don't know when Omega will discontinue the Silver Snoopy, but doesn't seem like anytime soon based on comments made by RJ from fratello. However, I'm in the camp that it will be discontinued prior to the 55th, and at that point, the grey price will only go up IMO. Are you shopping with an AD or OB?
