These models are pretty cool but I heard that the case backs could be pretty uncomfortable on the wrist.

It is if you love it and you want it.

Yeah, I wouldn't walk into buying one of these thinking that it will be the next Snoopy.

Sure this is brakepoint but i think the price of New Snoopy will be in the sky...

tokyo could be fine but i also think about resale not only to wear it. Collection raise and it is necessary to count with reduction or something similar.. but this LE is limited for something which is declined for this year..

I feel that the value retention of the new Snoopy will depend a lot on whether or not it's limited. Considering Omega's recent trend of not releasing limited editions lately, I wonder whether or not the new Snoopy will be limited?

Can't say I've ever felt anything other than normal watch feel wearing these. I find that hilarious for some reason. Thanks for the chuckle 😀

I wonder if OMEGA will do a 2021 edition now that the Olympics are postponed?

I could see the 2020 collection becoming collector’s items in due time if the case backs have the year commemorated on them, especially the white dial reference. It would be a novelty to have a Speedmaster commemorating Olympics that never took place...

Hard to predict future values/desirability. However it would seem that commemorative watches from an event (the 2020 Olympics) that never occurred could be collectable down the road

The event will still be regarded as Tokyo Olympics 2020 despite being held in 2021.

No, no, no, that's not real pain. Where's arm hair matted with congealed blood? :whipped:

Edit: found your old photo.... ok, so not quite congealed blood, but this looks more painful...

Not so much painful, just a bit itchy from time to time. I doubt I would even notice any pain from a wristwatch at the moment as it would be masked by my bangin’ head ache caused by a car crash whiplash injury last month.
