·I remember being at university and having a chance to buy the original from an AD in Windsor. They'd obviously decided they needed to move it on, as it was on sale at £1136. Damn.

·I guess its a bit like ticket scalping, or what happened with SS Daytonas at their peak, I just find it pretty sad to see.
Or suppose a sporting analogy - in the UK reselling football (soccer) tickets is illegal but all others are fair game. If I buy a load of tickets at face value for the Rugby World Cup Final (as can other genuine fans) and it's England v Another I will make a huge profit reselling them. If it turns out to be an Argentina v Japan final for instance, then I may lose out or break even.
And let's not forget what we are talking about here, somebody taking a punt on a $7,000 wristwatch, hoping another reasonably well-off guy will pay him $10,000.
That's a bit different from depriving a hard-up, hardworking dad taking his kids to see their favourite boy band, baseball team, or whatever.

·D Dombo63It is the same free market principles that apply to both. In each case the scalper (ticket tout in the UK) is taking a risk. For example, suppose this was 2008 and somebody was trying to resell a Silver Snoopy he paid for in June a month after Lehman crashed? Good luck with making a profit on that trade.

Seeing a boy band or baseball game is a luxury the same as buying watches - anything people do with their free income. Still, some people buy tickets (or in this case watches) in order to jack up prices because they think they can make a quick buck.
Same thing happens with any hyped limited consumer release - there are people who might want one, but buy 3 or 4 because they want to hold them over those other 2 or 3 people who were waiting in line, who just want to wear the watch.

·Let's see what the prices do as more Snoopys trickle out. Some will make a quick buck, some probably won't. Those that just wanted to wear the watch may be able to get one below list in a few months.
I had originally planned to flip mine but thanks to this forum and others I bought a new Moonwatch that I like so much I will keep the Snoopy as well. I paid full price back in June so the money's gone and forgotten. Maybe in 5, 10 years' time I might want to sell it. But I probably won't.

·One thing I find very interesting regarding this watch is the caseback positioning... This is the first Speedmaster Limited Edition that I recall seeing where the screw on caseback lines up perfectly straight with the case (when holding the case with the 12:00 up Snoopy is never upside down). At first I thought it was a coincidence but they all seem to line up the same.
This shows a new level of attention to detail by Omega IMHO.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it does not have a screw on case back. It is a press fitted back, so very easy to line up.
Cheers, Al

·Love most of it, can live with a couple of details I'm iffy about but the movie quote? Makes it a no-go for me. Why? Just why?
Local dealer is keeping very tight lipped, I assume they've reserved their allocation already.

·Has anyone gotten their Silver Snoopy from an AD and not an OB? I am getting worried, I put a 20% deposit down and my AD says they haven't seen my watch yer but promises they will get it.

·I talked my AD last night they said my Snoopy has left Omega in Switzerland and is headed to my AD's HQ in NYC (I think). They don't have it yet and then on to my AD. So there is still hope.
