Snoopy - just got a call - do I or don't I?

Well in the end it didn’t take long to decide. As others have noted, way better in the flesh than expected and so job done:

As reported the strap is silly stiff but I’ll give it some work and perseverance to loosen it up. This said I also took the opportunity to try out a 3861 bracelet which was just lovely and so much nicer than the older 1861 bracelet that I’d tried before. Purchased both at the same time and suspect snoopy may see more time on the bracelet than strap.

As said before, really appreciate all of the different views given. I could have gone either way on this and was fully prepared to walk from the OB but in person I knew I loved it. Yeah the rear animation is super cool and nerdy and appeals to me but actually it’s the silver dial that I’m most taken with.

Slight issue now to get it all home as I also walked out with a Moonwatch poster, 60th anniversary hardback book and pin badges from Tokyo and Paris Olympics. All unprompted but a nice gesture.

Congratulations. It has the dual benefit of making a nice graduation gift in four years.

Looking good!

And it still is today. Now that I’ve spent time with it in the flesh, can’t believe I might have made any other decision. The dial is just lovely and for those who haven’t seen it in person would definitely recommend it. Photos can’t do it justice. It just pops.

and not to be a debbie downer but please revisit in a year's time and let us know your long term thoughts.

Just tell him you want the new 3861 bracelet, either the hesalite version or sapphire.
