I can't wait for pictures....Shame Omega is being so tight-lipped lol
I'm of the opinion, if one doesn't like the look at first glance that wouldn't change even after seeing the values it now commands. For me the Silver Snoopy is prettier looking at the back than the front.
Yes, I totally agree with you that Snoopy back was much wonderful than the front; same was true with Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Speedy.
I think if people are looking at spending upwards of £7000 on a watch in today’s climate they are well off enough to not be overly hurt by £100 in lost savings interest by placing a deposit.
I still remember, what an outcry I read at various fora after 2015 Snoopy came out.
It was a big issue that cartoon character was on the dial. Then so many sentences were written on the dial as if it was a book. And finally a sapphire crystal on top of it, instead of holy haselite glass.
The worst was that it was on some rubber coated strap with silver thread!!
It was finally decreed to be a childish watch, at best.
Rest is history. ..

I wasn’t as in tune in the watch community for prior releases so my perspective is more individualized than a collective thought. In 2003/4 sometime I was in HK visiting my uncle who was into watches. He and I both had opportunity to get an Eyes on the Stars but each passed.
He thought “no way I’d pay this much for a cartoon dog on such a nice watch”. I thought “I cannot afford time pay this much right now for my beloved Snoopy on an amazing watch. Maybe one day...”
I am one of the few oddballs to this release in that I admire the lineage, the history, and the watch...but I am most excited about Snoopy. To be in a position to buy an “expensive” watch now (especially one that is playful and fun, not a safe-dweller) when I couldn’t do so years ago is a gratifying and humbling experience for me. Would love to get this next one but if I don’t, I will still be glad that my watch collecting journey has led me this far.
I'm sorry if it has already been explained before, but what's the interest for Omega to release a not so limited watch ?
I mean, if the 45th anniversary Snoopy hadn't been that limited, it probably wouldn't have been such a hit.
It's mostly because most of us missed the 45th anniversary that we don't want to miss the 50th one.
For me, if the 50th becomes that common, it won't be as attractive as it was with the previous Snoopy.
But it's just my humble opinion.

Only limited watches are attractive to buy?
