·I have one in my shed/office. (It's next to my gnome.). I couldn't get to it to take a picture so took this photo off ebay.
It's cool. I had to go look for one myself, but ultimately decided against it. I was a huge Snoopy fan when I was a little guy, but I don't like collecting big things. A listing said they are about 9" tall which is a bit too big to sit on a shelf in my office.

I just realized that sounds potentially like red-light office behavior.

·You could keep it on your desk and use it as a headphone rest- just slap your cans on that orb.

Not a bad idea, but there is little room on my desk with my turntable, Schiit stack, studio monitors, and all the things I need for actual work. The cans hang on a peg on the wall.

They are shorter without the helmet. Cheaper too, and more available without helmet.
Edit: next to gnome (edited pixels for sensitive types)

·It actually feels more profane with the Lucky Charms colored genitalia.

·After amassing a modest collection of watches that I always desired, and mainly to see what I truly loved, liked & didn't - after all, experience (and experiencing) are the best teachers, I am about to embark on The Great Purge.
And after that is done set about purchasing a final watch (hopefully) or two (most likely).
As much as I, like others, occasionally love to shit on the Speedmaster (and I'm guessing if it's not the manhole cover size ~ at least for those of us with hyper masculine wrists that are smaller, it's the sheer abundance of them along with Omega's penchant for limited edition this or special edition that) I have to admit I wear my two Speedmasters more than any other watches in my watch box ~ a 3861 Hesalite and a Reduced V2 ~ because frankly I love them for their dials, legibility, usefulness (I am a diehard Chrono Man at heart I have come to realize) and heritage in both the world of racing and that other thing they are occasionally mentioned being a part of.
So with all that long winded verbose bullshit out of the way here's where I'm at - and would appreciate some input...
The new 321 Ed White.
A 1967 105.012
A birth year 1963
Possibly a 3861 Blanco (white lacquer dial - sorry, I call it the Blanco)
Also but less possibly a 3861 Sandwich
The quandaries (besides money expenditure)...
If it's vintage (choices #2 and #3) I would want it as full kit as possible -- why couldn't this https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...-complete-set-with-archive-box-papers.173733/ have appeared in about 3-4 months??
If it's the new 321 (same for the birth year) concerns over the L2L "slab lugs" which aesthetically have never been my favorite (whereas I adore lyre lugs) but also tend to not suit my wrist ~ currently owning both the '57 Seamaster & Railmaster Trilogy currently and finding this out firsthand.
Am I missing anything, not seeing something accurately about my concerns listed above and besides the currently produced models I referenced any idea on what kind of financial range I'll be looking at to get into the 67 (assuming the link above is an accurate target) and 63?
