    OB e-mailed back to correct deposit amount to 5K, also replied to my question that they have not been allocated any 321 with a waiting list of 3.

    There's significant difference.
    I'm not sure if very many parts are actually interchangeable but I think Archer may have covered off on this previously in a dedicated thread.

    Have you confirmed the information or is just another speculation.

    My OB emailed me late this afternoon about the new release. It wasn't really on my radar, but I'm still a little disappointed about not scoring the last version. So I guess I will give it some consideration. Same $5k refundable deposit that others in the US have mentioned.

    Are the calls only coming from official Omega Boutiques? Does anyone know about the AD's?

    Seems most, if not all, who got a call have been through boutiques

    I'm passing on putting a deposit down on this one. At least for the Apollo 11 we knew price and edition size and there was an organized process for assuring you would get one (at least in the US). But this Snoopy watch is too nebulous with almost zero information on it regading number made, price and timetable for availability. And this deposit thing seems very ad hoc and uncoordinated with Omega management. I reckon there will be ample opportunity to pick one of these up down the road.

    The deposit thing pretty much matches how they handled the Apollo 11 in the US from what I remember.

    I figure this one has to look better than the A11, and plus the Snoopy award is a cool thing to acknowledge. That being said, I don't know if I would actually buy the watch, as I have a decent stock of very new Speedmaster variants and am more partial to adding some vintage ones.

    I’d prefer not to see gold unless it’s white gold
    its a no brainier for me to put down a deposit. In the UK we are only looking at 1.2% interest on easy access savings so £5,000 deposit for 6 months is actually only going to lose me £30 in interest.

    He’s almost certainly speculating. Would be helpful if he said that though rather than stating it as factual. Would keep the thread tidier and help spectate the wheat from the chaff.

    Of course it's all about spéculations, otherwise more people will know that kind of info.
    I m almost certain nobody knows nothing about what's coming except a restricted group at Omega and maybe RJ...

    Completely agree. I am not even convinced RJ knows anything yet.

    Of course better to celebrate and enjoy as a speedmaster fan and avoid flippers

    Yes. Just interested really as I don’t think I’d hesitate as it’s easy to get the deposit back.
