Don't get me wrong. I'd happily take....and sell...every Snoopy Speedmaster anyone cares to send my way.

I got one this year and have 0 regret. The best time to buy a watch is when you can afford it.

Hi,

not easy to take pictures of the alaska ... maybe thats one reason why they sold very slow in the first years?

Hi OF,

interesting observation: "Side by Side" to the 2015 Snoopy2 it is realy visible how:
1) much whiter overall the Alaska is…
2) the effect of Saphire Snoopy vs. Hesalit Alaska…
3) the difference of the case dimensions between these two...
4) the differente in reflecions of a ceramic vs steel bezel…

Hi,

can someone tell me what will be the price of the two white Nato Alaska straps
(short and long one) when ordered at an Omega AD? Are they still available?

I have one...I don't wear it as much as I should...it's a cool reference...I just don't like the bracelet...maybe I need to put it on the white velcro
these days not a good excuse!
you can buy an Uncle Seiko 1171 or 1450 bracelet
Or, buy a Forstner 1450 bracelet
& make it look period correct.
maybe time to pull the watch out & give the bracelet a face-lift.....

Sold a Tin tin @ about 9K right before they jumped to get this:

Sucked to see the prices go up, but this is so much better IMO.

Dont worry, the Alaska prices are not behind the TinTin these days 😉

Enjoy the Alaska!

Agree! Alaska prices doubled up as fast as the TinTin's did!

EDIT: I deleted the pic of my "fake" Tintin...

Just coz u got a deal doesn’t make it the norm. And why should they be? TinTin dials/casebacks were sold separately in large numbers…tons of project watches out there m…Alaskas parts have never been available AFAIK…

I think we are in line 👍

yea, I must admit to being confused about this exchange

I believe Hans was saying “don’t worry about trading your tintin for an Alaska, bc Alaska prices are doing fine/even better” ?

@eugeneandresson do i misunderstand your post to also be saying Alaska prices are doing just fine/even better?

👎👎
