of course you can buy in Europe a snoopy in a multi-brand seller, i received mine in february and i was the second or third in this store.

In Omega Boutique in Paris they receive near 30 snoopy per year....
OB in Paris receive 1 or 2 maximum per month, no more, and currently they do not receive more

No more Snoopys in OB France?
If that's true, that would only mean end of production.

no, they still receive some, but not more than before. It’s 1 to 2 pieces maximum per month. No more

I've wanted this watch since it came out. Had no luck even getting on a list because I live in a very very big city with only 1 boutique and no history with them. I travel a lot and I go into every Boutique and AD all over the world, with no luck of course. Recently on a trip to the Caribbean, I went into a boutique (not AD) and they actually had 2 in their safe. They did not admit this at first but I talked for a while and had been there a few times in the last year so I was a familiar face. Ultimately they told me they had 2, let me see one and try it on, and then despite having many deposits and a very long list of good customers with a large purchase history, they said I could have it if I bought one or two of their precious material watches. When we got down to business, they needed me to spend about $50+ thousand on a really unattractive gold and whatever watch, or a couple for the wife. Bottom line, I could have the Snoopy for MSRP if I also bought a very ugly (in my opinion) gold and diamond watch for over $50k. I offered to buy 3 Seamasters to give to my sons but I was told no. I will not mention the boutique but it made me sad to be so close....But I found it interesting that they had 2 in stock so I thought maybe this was a good sign.

Sad to see Omega boutiques starting to behave like Rolex. On the plus side, at least there are still some Omega watches that can be purchased at MSRP or a small discount. You can't even walk into a Rolex boutique and buy a basic watch like an OP these days.

@tommybananas You would better off by a mile just buying a Snoopy on the grey market and be done with it. I refuse to play these kinds of games when they want you to buy some ugly piece of crap, which you'll lose your shirt on, just so you can buy the Snoopy at MSRP.

I know other boutiques don’t allow people to “skip” the line by making big purchases of harder to move pieces. I wonder if some boutiques are employing those practices without Switzerland knowing about it, or if some boutiques are allowed to operate in that manner.

Its possible that specific OB had a short line and already finished it. Wouldn't surprise me at all for a boutique in the Carribeans, I'm guessing most of the customers are tourists and very few of those are repeat customers.

I was upset to wait an hypothetical call which would probably never come before the end of the production so decided to pay +20% over retail and landed the beagle before Christmas !

Almost three years after the last time I put it on my wrist, I'm still in love with that blue-silver dial combination and how the light makes it different at each angle. Also I love the noise of the movement when we put the ear close, really makes me feel that I have a living object with me.

I will give its chance to the bracelet but as plenty of people here, I think that the new 3861 one would fit the wrist better than the nylon one.

Congrats! You did the right thing, 20% over retail is peanuts for peace of mind of securing the watch before they stop production.

congratulations on your purchase, in any case they will increase again on February 1st, so at least you can enjoy them now and after 3 years of waiting it must be a wonderful moment, I have had mine for 9 months and don't get tired of it.

Grats. To me it looks and wears better on the bracelet. I had my OB switch mine out the second I picked it up.

My OB said Omega will never give a definitive date or time outside corporate. But they did send a memo out asking that the OB get its Snoopy list in order and updated as production will be wrapping up. Makes sense as the end of next year will be the 5th year of production.

I’m glad I checked this thread out. Pinged my US OB SA and I may finally have success. I didn’t put down a deposit in Q2 2020. Have bought from the OB multiple times so that helps and also my SA is a great guy. Super great guy.

Stay tuned…
