    Direct correlation, right? Unlimited LE numbers appeared starting from 2016/2017.

    The rumor is it will have a gold bezel. I would guess Moonshine gold but would love to see white gold!

    Unique color combo but I think it’s too tacky

    True. Revenue growth rates in watches are no longer what they used to be (note that PP and Rolex figures are not public). Fashion and jewels have been performing better over the past few years, hence stocks like Kering have been faring much better. On top of that, you have a few watchmakers at Swatch, like Breguet, that are experiencing difficulties, say the least. Hence, the share price performance...

    Yes, white gold details would be great. That would be a nice argument for the expected price.

    Compromise: sell a child’s kidney. You can leave them the watch as payment when the time comes.

    That's a great idea! I've got five kids so that equals five great watches right?

    Must say, I love the look of this watch and, with a bit of luck, I might be lucky with my AD here in the UK. Fingers crossed.

    Just read through all of SWGAY's financials, and that is a pretty solid company. $8B annual revenue, 14% EBIT, very little debt. Seem to be carrying a massive amount of inventory and depreciating it every year. Other than that, good cash flow and on the face of it, a well run company.

    BTW, stock price is not an indicator of the health of a company.

    I suspect it'll take a while.

    >$30k price point and full "yellow" gold doesn't appeal to the masses like a $6,500 Steel Snoopy Edition would.

    Defintiely not for the average person or collector, and honestly a disappointing choice IMHO.

    Also, to call this a “limited edition” is laughable with those production numbers.

    Just my 2 cents

    These numbers are actually low compared to prior limited editions. Silver Snoopy Edition had 1970, I believe

    I agree but if you were a buyer of this at 30K+, I would like better exclusivity.

    Curious how many should be considered LE as of your opinion? As of mine, considering the fact that there are over 7 bln people around the globe 1014 pcs is quite limited number.

    As of MHO number does not matter as it is just one part of equation. The other is even more important - demand. Some say Silver Snoopy should have been made in 7970 pcs, but that happened after demand peaked. At the beginning it did not attract such interest and I did not read anybody saying number was low.
