·Ok, take this with a pound of salt, but my OB reps said yesterday that there WILL (probably) be a 55th announced in July. I of course got first in line, but I would be surprised if it happens.

·It would be interesting if they decided to create a Snoopy model that is not affiliated with an anniversary (though it would, obviously, be released on the 55th if it indeed does come this year). They could make it a full-run watch, available (after a few months of frenzy) to anyone, and wait for another big anniversary to do another limited production/limited edition piece (maybe the 60th and/or 75th?).
Now, that would be great so long as it’s not a carbon-copy of the existing 50th with the “50th anniversary” text removed……that would be a huge bummer to those that waited and received the Silver Snoopy.

·Correct me if I’m wrong, but Omega has never ever released a watch to celebrate 55th milestone.
So I doubt there would be a Snoopy 55th one 💪

·FWIW I think Omega should just stick with fulfilling its existing wait list for the 50th and wait until the 60th anniversary to release another Snoopy. Maybe end production of the current one in a year or two? It just becomes a joke if they keep coming out with a new one every 5 years. But seeing how much hype accompanied the 45th and 50th anniversaries, I suspect Omega can't resist it.

·Just read an article from Hodinkee where they talked to the chairman of Omega, who would not say yes or no to the question of a 55th.
Which maybe means yes?

·if there’s a 55th, I figure I have 5 years to snag it (unless they go LE again…).
In the meantime- I finally took this puppy home today!

·I'd be happy with just a Speedmaster in this color. Having said that, Snoopy fever just hit me today, and I feel like I need one.

·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.
Please don’t be deluded!
Only the BM decides, I can tell you that for a fact.
And I agree no OBs are taking anyone on a list they know they will never fulfil regardless that it is produced past this year or not.
The waiting list is past ridiculous, I’m even surprised that many people want to spend that much money on a watch…
Buy what you like, or as others said, just pay a little more to get a proper full box set

·The sale associate definitively does NOT decide who goes on the list and certainly NOT who is getting it when one arrives…

·From what I can tell, OB managers make final decisions but they are informed by SA’s. They may choose to operate by going in order on. A list, or they might choose to go about it a different way. Given the wide variety of stories behind Snoopy allocations, and my own offers of other highly sought after pieces, there’s really no consistent approach to allocations across OBs in my city, let alone across the globe. The best advice is to go and see for yourself.

·What I know is, I got mine because of a good relationship with the Boutique, because I asked. He said they prioritize people who show genuine interest in the brand, and have good communication with the store. And the willingness and desire to drive 200 miles one way to pick it up in person. Four times now since I drove down to get the bracelet.
Most OB's in major markets probably wouldn't have produced a Snoopy for you in such a short time even with your buying history and enthusiasm. Glad it's worked for you but you are more the exception than the rule when it comes to this particular watch. Relationships are important but that won't always produce a result.
