October 5th 2020 - Snoopy Celebration

Not sure it’s been mentioned before but does anyone else finds it overlaps a lot with the blue CK2998 at a quick glance?

Here’s what I don’t get (and don’t flame me)

buzz butt got flames for having a sub dial
Snoopy has a cartoon dog in the subdial

aside from that, the Apollo 11 is better in many ways (gold, bracelet).

yet that got flamed and this as an £8,200 bracelet less watch is applauded?

I must be going mad?

Speaking for myself here...I passed on buying the A11 50th watch from my OB and am going for the A13 Snoopy 50th watch with the same OB. I do like the bracelet on the A11 50th, but that's where it ends. I can't stand two-tone watches at all...and especially in that shade of "moonshine" gold they have. The sub dial logo was also imo not the best image they could have used for the landing. Overall I find that watch to be unattractive.

The Snoopy (45th and 50th) imo have great contrasting color dials and I like the straps on both A LOT. They look really nice and make the watch look more utilitarian than they would with a steel bracelet. It would have been nice if it came with the fabric strap and bracelet, but the strap still looks good imo.

The Snoopy subdial on the 50th I think is appropriate for what it represents. The 45th Snoopy subdial was more out of place as it wasn't a copy of the award itself like on the 50th. I like how the dial on the 50th is silver...the subdial Snoopy is embossed silver as well although it looks like painted white in pictures. Will look more silver-like in person imo.

So you think it’s okay for VIPs to take priority over actual paying customer? Because other brads do it? Omg lol. Stockholm syndrome anyone?

Nah I was just messing around haha

I’m not a VIP

just that when you came into the thread saying how you’re important with other brands...

kinda weird haha

Which is fine - but objectively, the watch is overpriced all things being equal....

Depends how we define "overpriced." I'm assuming you mean the A13 50th relative to the A11 50th in isolation and that's it. They weren't released at the same time of course, the A11 in Q2 2019 and A13 Q3 2020. At least in the US, the government has increased the money supply over that time period by 20% (monetary inflation)! Monetary inflation tracks with asset price inflation (Wilshire 5000 total stock market index) almost 1 to 1 for decades now (doesn't track CPI which is different). So if you consider these watches as assets, the A11 50th is really $12k in today's dollars when monetary-inflation adjusted. The money has to go somewhere and people aren't buying up t-shirts and groceries that fast...they're buying up assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, collectibles, art, wine, etc). They keep printing money quickly, which is why the price of everything asset related is going up so quickly while CPI doesn't budge much.

Btw the S&P 500 still hasn't hit it's all-time high back in Feb when you do the same monetary-inflation adjustment from all the trillions in printing since then. It goes up as the dollar becomes worth less (worthless).

You can't compare the price of two different items at two different times (over a year apart) when a lot has happened to the underlying currencies. That's my point.

stevec14

It’s fυck all to do with currency. They are hugely different in GBP.

the Apollo was roughly £7.35, this is £8.2.

do the maths.

Makes sense to me. UK economy falling apart more since the A11 50 release with weakening GBP and more printing too. Why shouldn't prices of imports go up?

I have big pull with Rolex, Patek, AP... Omega; I wait for something rare like this. They better act right lol. Otherwise omega will remain a Walmart brand. You know what I mean lol

S Stephan15

Will it be possible to fit a deployment clasp??

You are saying that you like your pull/VIP status at all these other brands, but then detest it if Omega tries it just because you're not a VIP there? Don't hate the player, hate the game.
