I've been scanning all of the usual places for an Alaska Project, and haven't seen one available in the US in months. I wonder if the Silver Snoopy has stimulated interest in Speedmaster Pros with white dials?

They're around, the two things that hold them back are the crummy legibility which is a valid complaint and the relatively low numbers, like the Gemini 4 and others they made under 2,000.

There's a full set here:

but its a bit pricey, I've seen them around the $4.5-6k mark

I really want one, but went the panda route instead. Now the prices are really jumping and I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that much.

I don't want to buy one from outside the USA. Been burned once, which was plenty!

Did you loose any money on the deal?
