Hello I was able to pickup a Snoopy Speedmaster Professional a few weeks ago and decided to put away my 2-tone blue face for a bit. I loved the snoopy watch. Couple questions about it. What would the chances of me finding a box for it? What is this model called? Anything special I need to know about it. I own several Omega watches in my collection but this is the first I've decided to wear. Thanks in advance.

 

No idea about the box, but model is Speedmaster Professional “Snoopy Award.” 3578.51

 

Do you have the authenticity certificate for it? As far as I understand it both the snoopy dial and caseback are/were available, and without the paperwork confirming it to be one of the original snoopy LE's it could also be a regular speedmaster with the above retrofitted. This would have an implication on value.

 

LooL

Now he will enter the doubt world whether he got right watch or not

 

That was kind of the idea - would hate to think of someone being duped and paying the massive premium on these if it's not what it was sold as. A regular speedmaster with fitted snoopy dial and caseback still has a value of course, but not the same as a genuine LE. If he only bought it a few weeks ago there may still be recourse if there is a problem. Hopefully not though of course.

 

indeed!..time to visit an OMEGA for check-up. Hope it is 100% pure

 

If the caseback is numbered, it's most likely genuine. These came from a time when box & papers weren't always kept, and we see many of these older LEs without them.

 

It's original. Not a doubt in my mind. Guy was a Doctor and bought watch new. Also bought a Speedy non Professional from him and a 007 Seamaster. Watch back is also serial numbered 25**/5441. Love the watch. The Doctor bought watch and wore it and didn't feel he needed the box. Thanks for all your input. It's really appreciated.
