A couple of weeks ago, I was in my local Omega AD to buy a gift for my wife. I kiddingly asked "do you have a silver snoopy?" - To my amazement, I was told that they had one coming in that wasn't yet spoken for. I committed to it on the spot and picked it up the next week. I had no intention of dropping $7K on a watch but I couldn't pass it up. Now I just have to bring myself to actually put it on my wrist!

Lucky or what?

 

Did you still buy your wife's gift?


If not, you may not be so lucky.

 

I followed the advice on the face of the Snoopy - "Failure is not an option". Mission accomplished!

 

Still in the plastic shipping case with protective plastic on crystal.

 

It's very pretty...a worthy pickup!

 

Now there's a lucky man! If there's one thing I've learned it's to not hesitate and always seize the opportunity if it arises or you'll be kicking yourself forever for missing it!

Hope you bought the missus something to distract her when the snoopy is in!

 

A ladies Tag AquaRacer with diamonds (of course) for her.

 

There is a silver snoopy on the bay right now for 15 k ... A bit high... 7 k more like it...I bought my wife a tag heuer Carreras with MOP dial... And she loves it...

 

Wow, you got really lucky, congrats ! Besides, if you get bored by Snoopy(probably won't happen) you can flip it for a nice profit

 

Speaking of AD / boutiques. Is there such a thing as having to adhere to a dress code to go in an Omega Botique? The one here in NYC 5th Ave seems a bit intimidating and I don't feel that I should walk in with trainers and a hoodie.

 

Remember only poor people now wear suits and ties.
Because their job tells them they have to.

(I am being slightly facetious and yes I suppose I should say, most people who wear suits)

Rich people wear whatever they want, including trainers and hoodies.

So walk right in.
They will be ready for you!

 

Walked in to the DC location last week wearing my work suit (jeans, polo, winter coat and sneakers). Did not appear to be an issue whatsoever. They are regular people working there, and they were happy to be of assistance. If anything I felt bad the one man working there had to wear a suit.

 

Wow, that's a great find. That would be the dream for me.

 

you are lucky. If you want to sell it now, you can get few bucks immediately

 

@TimeForAnother What city is this Omega AD?

 

I walked in once wearing sweaty gym clothes, but was sporting my SMPO on my wrist - they didn't care.

 

BTW that Snoopy is a BEAUTIFUL piece! Lucky find, good price.
