·Um...I think the poster was joking. However I'm not surprised by your reaction since a sense of humor is getting hard to come by here lately.

i have placed 3 pieces on queue: SO, son, me with the sales rep. and this is with their organisation (although stores are closed with COVID). They are not available to order from Omega yet and there is no information on pricing nor styling "before October". BINGO on her use of before October😉

·I think limited production means Omega will keep making them until they stop selling well. The FOIS is also a “limited production” and there must be what, 10,000 of them? (Also see “Harrods Tudor Black Bay) If production of this model mirrors that of the FOIS, will the demand still be there? Why would I rush out to pay full retail when I could wait two years and buy one for 30% less?

·Unfortunately, this is not the only topic that gets a lot of negativity and bitterness in the comments. « Watchfid » was another... Probably a sign of the times.

·I don't get it - so we don't have any graphics of this watch and it's being preordered? I'm so confused...

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorI don't get it - so we don't have any graphics of this watch and it's being preordered? I'm so confused...
Don’t know anything, could be anything from just a caseback to a gold Snoopy same as Buzz Butt.
50th people had deposits 6 months before ( in countries you could deposit ) not knowing anything about it until it was released.
It’s the FOMO and my mate at the boutique told me world we live in now.
October 5th all will be revealed and another thread will replace this one with they should’ve or shouldn’t have 😉

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorAfter reading Standy's thread and looking back through the stuff I've missed over the past couple days, I'm pretty amused at how this Snoopy seems to be bringing the worst out of so many people!
I always suspected that Snoopy was a bad bad dog..
Can take you back to the pages of the last Snoopy release that turned to shite with the argument when the New Member and Snoopy collector Missed out on one. That was after the flipping for $$s abuse started, which was before the they didn’t make them all in the end debacle 😗 ( all in one thread )

·All Snoopy shitshow stuff aside, I don't think I'm gonna go for this one. I was one of the people who put down a deposit on the 50, and while I like the watch I think it was overall a fairly underwhelming package for the high price they charged. Over time I've come to think that for $10,000 we should have gotten more than a bracelet with no micro-adjust and a crappy cork strap that's a pain to use. Unfortunately, the high-price for low content seems to be the trend with Omega right now as the NTTD Seamaster comes without a single extra - the watch roll that doubles for the inner box has pockets for tools and such, but they're empty... kind of like blank switches in the interior of your top-of-the-line sports car!
I've nearly gotten FOMO'ed into this one but I don't actually have any care for Snoopy at all or any particular affinity for the Apollo 13 mission and I think I'm good. Starting to feel that way about all these $9-10,000 Omegas tbh...

An honest appraisal. If I am being honest I would admit that when I first saw the two Snoopys ( after coming late to the speedmasters) i thought they were goofy.
I like the white dialed snoopy but prefer the 35th white dial or mitsukoshi or 2020 Olympic white dial.
This talk about the upcoming anniversary feels like beanie babies.
I do appreciate recognizing the significance of the anniversaries. I kindof like the 50th apollo 11. But I agree with you that the executions have been underwhelming. Perhaps it's the desire to be able to recognize the original in the new anniversary watch that limits the design.
Now that i am voicing this out loud, this makes me aware of why I am drawn to the newer racing coaxial with 9900. It's improving the brand without slavish adherence to the past. Don't get me wrong, I love the vintage speedmasters. But will i part with big bucks for a new color combination or a Snoopy butt? Not so sure.
Hope i didn't offend anyone. Just thinking out loud.

·I passed on the Apollo 11 50th didn't appeal to me, but it did sell out close to 7000 pieces? So Omega will be encouraged with its performance and for better or worse I believe higher prices are here to stay with their special eds.
All their latest limited edition or special production items have had marked increase in prices with minor if not negligible adjustments to the design/ watch. The only one that didn't was the Apollo 8 which I couldn't believe had a lower price in comparison to the other dark sides but its price was still in the upper echelon.
Something about this one has me exited though, maybe it's the delayed announcement but my anticipation is quite high.

·I started with the amazing Racing 9900 coaxial, bought it in January. Tomorrow (actually on July 21 for accuracy) I'm buying the standard hesalite Moonwatch, to celebrate the first step of the Speedmaster on the lunar surface, 51 years after the event during this 2020 pandemic 😉
Couldn't care less for Snoopy stuff on a watch... 🥱
Looking at your avatar is moving me from I want one to I need one.
Glad that Omega is still generating heat for many different interests. Congrats on your choice of watch and date for purchase. It's my daily watch. Never knew there were so many things that needed timing before I got it.

·I for one am excited about the upcoming limited edition Snoopy 😀
I don’t really understand why those who aren’t are so insistent on expressing it here 😉
My son loves the Snoopy in space cartoon.

I thought it was a forum rule to be contrarian...
I am still excited about the upcoming release. Just prepared to be disappointed.
Fingers crossed.
EDIT: i also appreciate that you are excited about Snoopy for Snoopy's sake, that Snoopy brings a playfulness to a serious program, and that it acknowledges the best of the space program. It loses some of that magic when we are treating it like a collectible that will go up in cost when we know nothing about what it looks like or is made of. Don't want to a Debbie-downer. Sorry.
