European at Yorkdale.

They got one. They should be getting more

I emailed omega head quarters 3 months back. They said time. It will get to Canada and be distributed to the ads

Omega should just concentrate on raising prices and collaborating with Swatch, making MoonSwatches and not worry about making Snoopy's for all the deposit holders who've been waiting for 2 years

European at Yorkdale has 100 deposits taken for the Snoopy, I know since I was one of the first. My original deposit receipt even has a ETA for delivery which was Q2 of 2021.

So this is the first Snoopy they've gotten in 2.5 years. So to go thru all 100 deposits it will take how long exactly?
They will not be getting a Snoopy every month, so working thru that list is only possible if the Snoopy is out for another 50 years or so and thats if they get 2 a year.

I'm curious if they really got one or just saying this to keep peoples hopes up. I really hope they can fill all orders but so far everything they have said has been complete BS. Go talk to any other Omega boutique in the US, all will tell you ADs will not get them in North America. Is it possible the AD at Yorkdale got 1 for a super high end client on Omegas request, maybe.

One AD took over 100 deposits!? No wonder there are so many pissed off people about the Snoopy. The OB’s in the US didn’t even take in that many and these are actual boutiques owned by Omega.

For those fortunate enough to be in or travel to Tokyo…. I saw a couple of 50th anniversary snoopies for around £14-15k in Nakano Broadway. I was lucky enough to get mine via an OB (special thanks to my lovely friend, thank you again!!) - but at that price point I’d’ve considered going gray if I hadn’t got mine directly.

Not sure what the grey prices look like in the UK right now but I thought the price wasn’t too bad.

Well I’m fed up with all of this. I actually don’t mind the wait but the shear lack of information for sooooo long from Omega and the boutique has led me to look elsewhere. Even boutique staff I have talked to are completely in agreement. I would have been looking at other Omega purchases by now such as a moonshine gold and constellation but no more. Omega have created a massive hole in the market for other brands to fill as the world markets start to recover. Time for a fresh face for Omega and new management I think.

I think you are correct. Im just reserving a 50th edition for 15k. I don’t know what else to do. They are saying that some lists are as far back as 2030 for deliveries.

Are you in Japan?

I was there 2 weeks ago - I normally saw 45th anniversary snoopies but this time I didn’t see any on display, inly the 50th anniversary.

No Im in the UK. I watched a YouTube video where this guy mansplained that it really simple to get one from a boutique. All you have to do is buy loads of watches with the Boutique and if you’re luck they can sell one to you. I have all the Omega’s that I want except the sliver snoopy so paying 6k over retail is better than dropping 20k on items I don’t want just to be in with a chance to buy something I was already on a list for since 2019.

I called into OB in Leeds, UK, yesterday and they only received their first one last week!!! It’s a member on here I believe.

Hopefully they will start trickling through to this part of the world now we’ve had our first as I’m 6th on the list (was originally told 5th so not sure what’s happened there but didn’t argue it).

Looooong wait ahead…..
Another update on this. Called back in today and they’ve now had 3. All of them have come in in the last 3 months. Fingers crossed I might have one before Christmas .
