Thank you! Knowing well what others both with and without purchase history from an OB have had to wait, I consider myself extremely lucky.

I have purchase history from two separate OB's; one in Vegas and one here in Los Angeles (chronologically, in that order). I had to "start again" from my home OB here in LA. When the two-tone Moonshine Speedy was revealed back in the summer, I knew I wanted one. I walked in and purchased one on launch, June 8th. I asked my salesperson "how impossible is it for me to acquire a Snoopy" and she told me "it's possible, you're close", meaning I needed to spend x total dollars at their location. There was already another piece I was planning to purchase shortly after. I placed the order and received that piece on September 28th. She let me know "you're on the list". I got the call yesterday, October 26th.

Overall turn around from the moment I "qualified" and was put on the list, to when I actually put it on my wrist was less than one month.

So basically the email I received from Omega stating that they are no longer shipping Snoopy to their OB’s is total BS!

By the way, did your salesperson tell you how many they received in their shipment?

I think it may be store-dependent; allocation based on volume, etc. My salesperson didn't mention if there were others that had arrived. She did, however, call me at work yesterday and told her I may not be available to pick it up until the following day. She encouraged me to get there as quickly as possible as there are others on the waitlist. Needless to say, I left work early yesterday and picked it up ASAP lol.

Thanks for the reply, under the circumstances I also would have dropped everything and raced over to the OB.

So basically when Omega wrote to me and said, "Therefore, it is no longer possible to order this particular timepiece as they are sold out nationwide." that information was not correct as they are still shipping Snoopy to the OB's.

one of my favorite color combinations as you'll see below and you did a FANTASTIC job of capturing the blue hands/markers.
curious, what's the case diameter because I don't recall seeing that model in my quest.
I tried to find a 2502.33-one of the earliest coaxial movements (2500), but I couldn't find one. Now I see several available, but I imagine one has to be wary of replicas.

In my quest for a white dial blue hands/markers Omega with at least a 40 mm case I finally got the Beijiing Winter Olympics edition. The dial is supposed to look like an icy surface. This is one of the better shots I have showing the dial and the blue.

Had my Seamaster 300M now for a few weeks. I love it. It has become my daily watch. My Rolex’s are sitting in their original boxes. I wonder when or if they will come out again.

I love the Speediest and Seamaster for different reason, I believe a Seamaster Polar is in my future after I sell the Aquaracer.

This is a 220.22.38.20.02.001 with a 38mm case.

Love Love Love the new lacquered white dial Speedy Pros. Was at a boutique that had one earlier this year and was offered to let me put it on my wrist...knowing I'd walk out with it if I did and wifey wouldn't be keen on my new acquisition I chose not to. Regretted it every day lol

Coming to a wrist near me, I sold a couple watches from my collection in order to justify it.

Here's my contribution: my first and only watch, so far. Walked right into the nearest AD and they were happy to do business. The waves have a lot of depth in the right lightning. I'd like to add a blue dial and swap the bracelets, personally I think the white is best on a rubber strap and blue on steel.

I really like the new Diver 300 releases from Omega, specifically the black dial:
https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/w...21030422001010

Will have to see the titanium in person, as it might blow me away IRL: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/w...21030422006002

Hoping to check them out closer to year end in person at the boutique or my AD

drunkenup Beautiful watch! I believe that's an America's Cup watch. I went with a used White Dial today and hope to receive it on Wednesday. Enjoy and have a great holiday.

I bought a new white dial on a cruise ship a few weeks ago. Nice find with no duty and no taxes. I love it and it has become my daily watch.

Not an America’s Cup watch. They have no date function.

Correct, just a normal production model. I'm not too fond of the many 007 and Olympic specials, but the simplified no date unit watches I really like. The NTTD is also great in person.

tcphoto Hope the watch is everything you're expecting, and I doubt you'll be disappointed.
