Omega have tried to move away from the Limited edition business model especially for speedmasters, they now do 'limited releases' so less production numbers (Snoopy, EW, Soleil dial and white dial), so you are right its not totally out the question they celebrate it but with the pairing down of the offering compared to every year multiple LE's being released, there was a thread a while ago of the important dates and possible speedmaster releases for the next few years. Hopefully they do some more LE's.
If, by soleil dial, you mean the second FOiS, then AFAIK that watch is in regular production, same as the white dial. That means they should be in-stock in all OBs at any time. I agree that Snoopy and EW are limited with some wait time to get.

I'm going to the Boutique, and am going to ask if they will swap a 57 or 3861 sapphire bracelet on it. They should, considering this is the third new watch in less than a year.

You make a good point - I’ve actually started noticing grey market prices dropping for this watch. Perhaps it might come to a point where the flippers would realise it doesn’t make any sense to flip this watch! Great news for folks like us who genuinely want to get a Snoopy and keep it as a collector’s piece.
That's true, although I think as long as they can make 1-2 thousand on it, it's definitely worth it.. so I'm afraid we'll have to be a little more patient

I was talking to the OB manager about this, he said that when the gray market price comes down to near retail omega will stop making them. He’s been with omega for 12 years so I may think he’s right.

I don’t say this with the assumption that it’s “the same everywhere”, but my OB absolutely will offer a Snoopy to customers that have purchased several watches at retail. I’m certain there are some that have put their name on a ‘list’ that have never purchased a watch that would get leap-frogged in a millisecond. It’s not what folks want to hear, and it may not be true everywhere- but that’s the way I understand it to work at my OB.

It's the same with my local OB, except that they explicitly said that you could get a Snoopy 3 at retail if you bought a full gold Speedmaster.

I could imagine that buying several watches is ok, as long as you spent the same amount of money.

For those still Snoopy 50th hunting, the Pavilion OB in KL just mentioned to me that they receive one a month and that they don’t share allocation with other boutiques like in nearby Suria KLCC.
Every watch they’ve has already been allocated though.
