October 5th 2020 - Snoopy Celebration

Omega-Q

This is what I found when I looked it up:

an expression used in text messages or e-mails signaling happiness or laughter. XD is an emoticon. X represents closed eyes while D stands for an open mouth.

I called OB today, they told me it is not a limited edition. It will be limited production.

Limited edition has X number of pieces produced, limited production means no set number made (or confirmed by Omega). People are saying they will only make this for two years, unless Omega specifically states that I would not accept that as fact. Most likely Omega will have an open end on production, they will make it until they feel they have satisfied the inherent demand. The Apollo 8 and Ed White are like this.....limited production with no end date.

EricCsN

yes this is confirmed.

I’m missing something here, when has it been confirmed it’s going to not be a limited edition?

All I’ve seen is people here staying OBs and ADs have told them this? My OB said it was a limited edition of 7000?

3rd hand should not be considered “confirmed”

You’re not missing anything. There is a consensus but no direct confirmation from Omega corporate. We will all find out the truth on 10/5.

I take my OB over the “consensus” here, as they didn’t tell me just in passing.
I was enquiring about getting 2 (as the wife has a larger watch collection then me including speedmaster), so the checked up got back to me a few days later with a no 🙁 because of the limited edition and how many reserved for our region etc

Then my OB stated “well at least they gave away that’s going to be a limited edition of 7000 as we’d heard rumours it wasn’t a limited edition, I wondered if they realised they’d accidentally told us”.

Again mine info is still 3rd hand so I won’t be shocked either way.
My preference is for non limited edition as then we cools get 2 😀

phooi

I’m not sure where you’re located but were you able to reserve 2 watches then?

I hope that the people who really want one gets one. The last release was way too small.

Limited Edition / limited production could just be the same thing in the end. If Omega produce around 7000 over two years then it’s the same as having produced 7000 LE.

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
