October 5th 2020 - Snoopy Celebration

This would be a big disappointment as most of us who have put down a deposit were told something similar to "We don't know much now but we'll all know on Oct 5th" Another teaser would feel deceptive.

You really think boutique SAs have access to "corporate secrets?" lol If you share anything with a national sales network like this you should expect it to be "leaked", irregardless of what you tell them is permissible to share. Omega was also asking for a blind deposit on the watch, so it was probably done in good faith for them to share something small, instead of offering absolutely nothing.

It's the images that they really want to keep close, which is why no OB has seen the pics, and the few journalists who have are bound by NDA and/or reputation.

You can see why corporate don't really care if only the details get leaked w/o a pic. In fact, several details have likely already been accurately leaked on this thread already. Seems like a very risk-averse bunch here who are too skeptical to believe anything that doesn't come straight from PR, so there's really no consequence either way.

I can understand your thinking but feel differently.

I am 64 and the space/moon walk is still inspiring and remarkable to me. I wonder if it is a generational thing. For my Dad it was WWII. For me, I still haven't fully mined the mind-blowing space travel.

I'm 20 years younger than you therefore I never go to see that era so I understand your point.

I do wonder if the interest in space will fade with the next few generations, kind of like sixties and seventies cars giving way to eighties and smaller Japanese imports.

Trump wants to send a manned mission to the Moon in the next couple of years. I hope that they can because I would like to see it and that will help to spur a new generation of Space Fans.

I can understand the interest in pilot watches, but it isn't emotional for me. Diving watches are similar. Ascetically interesting but how many people dive, and of those who buy diving watches, how many dive? Not a requirement to own a diving watch of course.

IWC and Breitling have the Pilot scene wrapped up anyway and Omega would probably find it difficult to take them on. I'm not a fan of Diving or Watersports either but some of the Seamaster Ceramic Chronographs are nice.

Space interest might be revitalized if SpaceX is expanded and supported. But Musk has no interest in Omega so Omega may depend on the Astronauts' personal choices.

Thanks for sharing. It doesn't surprise me that some people aren't into space. But don't discount the level of enthusiasm and interest in space that still remains. Cheers.

The DSOM of range is great and I was drawn to mine by the materials used to produce the watch and the look. The Moon part did have some influence on my decision but there were other factors too.,

I hope that this new Spoopy watch is going to be something good too.

EDIT: i neglected to say that we both share an interest in DSOM.

I think this is a bubble because of the imminent launch of the watch. Normally on OF there is very little talk about the snoopy. You can do a search and see that. What I worry about is Omega trying to create a halo watch out of this. Most People don’t really want a snoopy on the watch. When the 45th launched, one of the biggest complaints at the time was snoopy and all the cartoonish stuff ruining that white dial. People want the financial success that the 45th brought. For me, I bought this watch for my wife because she LOVES snoopy and there are those people. I’m hoping to get this one for a similar reason.

My fear is is that most people are going to look to purchase the new model on the basis that they are going to make a quick buck, and the after markets get flooded with all these new Snoopys.

Even when the announcement will be made is speculation. Afternoon where? Switzerland, US, Far East? The Apollo 11 was unveiled early in the morning Switzerland time which corresponded to late evening in the US. I suspect that will be the schedule this time. But maybe there is some big event in Bienne where it will be revealed in the afternoon. No one knows at this point.
