    Yep

    "The silver dial is laser-engraved with Ag925, and features our favourite beagle as an embossed silver medallion on the blue subdial at 9 o’clock. He is shown wearing his famous spacesuit, in the exact style of the famous Silver Snoopy Award pin."

    Too much blue. A faded grey like the lunar dust color would have been greater imho.

    Anyway, on second thought, I’ll pass :unsure:

    That’s called business! If you have a repeating customer who left with you over a certain amount of money in the latest years he becomes VIP for you and if I were an AD or OB I would definitely give priority to such a customer over someone who rings the bell every five years for example, no matter what he left as a deposit.

    I called my two closest OBs (both 300 miles away) last week to be told, sorry deposit list had closed! Also called the only local authorized Omega retailer, but he hadn't heard anything about the watch.

    All three places called me back today.... OBs wanted a $5k deposit to get a watch within 2 years (WTF!!) but I told them I'd wait and see how sales progressed.The local jeweler where I just bought a 44.5mm white Racing Speedie from last month, basically said he was getting two and I could have first dibs on one of them.

    Let's see what happens....

    Don’t credit it! Nobody knows anything. Presumably Omega doesn’t know as well. They will get it decided in the course of time and performance of sales. I presume. Doesn’t know.

    I doubt it, the actual price wasn't known until today.

    So what will happen to the original snoopy and the silver snoopy price? As I know the silver snoopy goes through the roof in the past months.

    What do you people think about moving to the coaxial movement on the moon watch next? I heard this earlier this year and after seeing this, I wonder how long it'll be until they do that?

    I made a partial, not a full one. Only knew that msrp was below 10k with a white or silver dial.

    Was told sometime around Sep 14 that the price was going to be sub-10000, so I made my (partial) deposit.

    Ouch... with NYS/NYC rate, it comes out to 10,452.

    But then again, I've paid more for a non-LE Omega before... I don't know, I just keep justifying the purchases while my wallet bleeds and the wife watching in horror.

    I could get a very nice smart watch or something with the amount of sale tax for this. However, it is not the way I have been looking at. Even in horror :)
