Silver Snoopy 50th

Hello, I've searched this forum, but failed to find relevant discussions...so I am writing to get collective wisdom.

I am considering adding silver snoopy 50th to my existing collection - 3861 hesalite, 3861 sedna/steel bi-color and 321 EW. Reason being that it's just beautiful (especially the combo of silver dial & ceramic bezel, let alone the case back). This being 4th speedmaster, I also wish this watch could maintain its value in the long haul (i.e. I am becoming more sensitive & selective to spending). By 'maintain', what I mean is at least I want its value won't drop by as much/fast as that of other regular models would do, and to be clear, I am not wishing it'll skyrocket like 45th snoopy did, because I don't expect flipping, unless in a financially stressed situation. The 50th one is not limited mumbered edition unlike its older brothers, and still being produced, and no news or hint that Omega will stop producing it soon.

Boutique nearby believes my chances being allocated look reasonably good considering the history I bought from them and discussed this and that with them, so I submitted application. They said they will come back with feedback first hopefully in a few weeks, adding that it's OK making a formal order after the feedback.

Any thoughts very much appreciated with respect!

I have four 3861s, white, hesalite, FOIS and snoopy 50. All new in 2024-25. The only one that has not lost thousands of value is the snoopy, I was offered more than msrp for it from watchfinder. Doesn't matter, I didn't buy them expecting them to be investments.

As they say, if you want a return, buy stocks!

There are about 230 'in stock' Snoopy 50th on C24 ranging in price from US$15,000 to 22,000. Market value is probably around $15k for this watch, it's been pretty steady for awhile now. You aren't likely to lose money if you buy from a dealer or boutique at full retail value. It's a storehouse of value, but not an investment that is going to appreciate much in the future. There are many out there.

So long as it's a store of value, I would be happy, thanks.

Yeah, with the amount they have produced versus the previous versions which were true limited editions, the price will remain around current market value for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. If I buy one indeed, then I will definitely hope they will discontinue this specific reference and launch a 4th one. 🤣

I think that in the medium term, the price of a worn piece could even drop slightly below the list price. If Omega releases a new model for the 60th anniversary (probably will) and discontinues production of this one, the price could start to rise moderately in the long run (say around ~2031).
Definitely not an investment piece (imo).

Yeah thanks a lot for sharing your view.

If Omega respected its loyal customers they should have discontinued the watch last year on the 55th anniversary and if they still want to keep this piece special it needs to be discontinued sooner than later and give the market a break before they release the 60th anniversary. Otherwise, the watch will be under retail in 2027

Yeah I agree. Strange that they keep this in production even after 55th year in 2025.

If Omega respected their customers they wouldn't let people buy the watch they want is a hell of a take.

Hello everyone,

I got a call from a boutique today. I am good to buy one in a couple of weeks, if I want, and what I am offered is USD 13400 or EUR 12000 (I am Korea, so the settlement currency is KRW), and thanks to a promotion with a local credit card company, I can pay in 24 equal monthly installments with "0%" interest rate, and this financing will remain available only for a few more days.

I have been spending recently, so I am trying to be prudent, but the financing term is shaking my mind. The decision is eventually on me, but will appreciate any thoughts and collective wisdom from the users here, thanks a lot in advance!

I'm Dutch so I'm going to be direct, don't let your financial decision depend on people on the internet.

When I got mine, I had told my OB rep that I wanted one sometime in 2025. that was in January. She called me a week later asking if I was ready. I said no, but I'll see you Saturday. Called the bank to get a credit limit increase on the zero percent card. But as @YY77 says, this is a bad place to ask for advice like this. We are a bunch of enablers here.
