Silver Snoopy Woes

Stopped taking names? Since when? My OB has a list and when they get one they call until there's a taker. I was offered a 321 on NYE but passed on it.

Is there a likelihood that Omega will release another iteration of the Silver Snoopy Speedmaster Professional in 2025? Looking to buy the current one but I’m not sure when is a good time to get it. The prices have dropped rather significantly since the high of 2022 and have remained fairly stable in the grey market. Also considering getting from the boutique (I just need to get one more watch like a regular Seamaster Diver 300 to qualify).

lt also seems fairly easy to get these watches now but I genuinely wonder whether they’ll discontinue them and/or introduce a new version in 2025? Also curious about your thoughts on whether the price will come down. The watch is after all not a limited edition.

I just got mine a few weeks ago, and really enjoying it, in real life, the dial being silver and the proportions, the whole thing is more intricate than in photos and fits my wrist very well also, wears alot better than its specs I would say. This is also my first Omega purchase, I have no purchase history. Took 4+ years of being on the waitlist.

Last year, I managed to get one of the 1-day limited edition Moonswatches with the gold seconds hand and wearing actually gave me an appreciate for the case shape. Then Trump won, and seeing how much he loves crypto and last time it seems the crypto bros were a non-insignificant factor in driving up prices past few years, so I figured that I wouldn't lose in picking it up. I know many purists hate this line of thinking, but hey, I live in the real world. I have limited income and love watches so my personal policy for adding a watch is that it should be at the very least a break-even on resale. (and I will track the "portfolio" over time and keep it net positive overall).

If you can get on a list with just one more purchase and they will allocate it to you, i would say that you just do it. Because of these factors above and some others on the thread have indicated that it will end up net positive, so you have nothing to lose if you don't like it.

In terms of your "fairly" easy, I know that no OB in Canada will put you on a list either, so would be curious to ask about where you're located?

Why buy a watch in the $6k range in order to get a shot at a Snoopy? It's not likely going to work, and why waste your money like that? Just go grey, buy either a lightly used Snoopy (with all boxes and paperwork) or buy a BNIB one and be done with it. Keep it simple.

Why would you hang your hopes on what a sales associate tells you about getting a Snoopy? The goal of every associate is to sell watches, if they can con you into believing that if you buy a $6k watch from them now they will allocate a Snoopy for you later, it's a win for them and you have ZERO assurance they will ever get a Snoopy for you. I just don't see the point of buying a watch you don't really want or need at retail and then turning around and selling it at a loss in the belief a Snoopy will be produced for you later. This is a trick dealer's have played for years. You are putting your faith in the sales associate whose main goal is to sell you a watch, any watch. If you pursue this strategy you are likely to be disappointed.
