·I’ll probably head into the Houston OB to see if I can put a deposit down this week.
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
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 😒
I don’t think that the Apollo 8 is selling for a premium in the used market. If Omega goes this route, the value for this version of the Snoopy will be similar.
If people are buying the watch for the Snoopy theme, as most say they are, this shouldn't matter. In fact it should be welcome news as everyone should be able to get one, either new or used. Now if you are buying for appreciation reasons that's a different story.
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 😕
Impossible in my opinion due to the low production. They need to sale and fast...
Doesn't seem that they would sell the ed white for 14k usd and then a snoopy with 321 for 10k, if in fact it's 10k. If they price it similar to apollo 11 50th then won't they have to issue the 3861?
Will they save the 321 for a 105.012 remake?
I hadn't thought of a snoopy embossed on the clear caseback. That is brilliant and feels exactly like what they would do in keeping with the 50th.
Hats off to Omega workers. They can keep a secret. Not many can amymore. I admire them for this especially.
