I totally get where you're coming from and agree. Some OB's can secure allocation even with no purchase history. It's definitely worth a shot

If I find one in a OB I will wear my 1976 Montreal Albatros Chrono-Quartz and remind them that I have been a customer for 48 years.

I stopped by Omega after work and was able to see / try on the new FOIS. This is no exaggeration; it might be one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen in my life. No watch is perfect, but the new FOIS might be as close as I've ever seen.

Also with Feldmar, they’ll let you know if they can’t source the watch and which OB to go to. They did that with my Spectre - told me no way they would get a true LE and sent me to the Beverly Center boutique. This was back in 2015, so the watch market was a little different (although not sure how different it really is with respect to Omega (versus Rolex’s huge shift)), but they had 3 Spectre models (the only three in the LA area left) and I snagged one. No discount, but got the watch for MSRP and not a cent more.

I have been waiting for a snoopy for four years just to give you an idea. If I can get one I will not be getting the New FOIS.

Still looking for a cheap bad condition 3520.53 to do a restoration project on. I don’t mind only the watch head without the strap or bracelet.

I ordered my Seamaster from Chrono24 after closing a big deal, I look forward to receiving it in a few days. It's from 2006 and comes with warranty card and case.

The new FOIS is beautiful but IMHO there is something very special about the looks of the new Snoopy. I may have to consult with a psychiatrist as this desire/ obsession probably relates to something that happened to me in my childhood.

I too think the FOIS is beautiful but it's not 42mm which I love about my 3570.50. I can appreciate the Snoopy but I cannot justify the price tag. Obsession, I've only recently been self-diagnosed with Omega fever and am fighting hard to control it after the latest acquisition. I blame/credit my late father who's birthday was July 21 and told me as a boy how to remember the date.

My trophy from the closing of a big deal arrived this morning, I will think about my victory every time I wear it. I love my Moon watch but I find this quite beautiful.

I love the white dial Seamaster and Speedmasters, I think one would complete my collection.

I got the white dial Seamaster because I am old. The white dial makes reading the watch much easier.

Update on my quest to obtain a SILVER SNOOPY AWARD” 50TH ANNIVERSARY watch at list price.
I emailed Omega's sales support and received the following reply. Thank you for your interest in our 50th Anniversary OMEGA Silver Snoopy Award timepiece. Unfortunately, this highly sought after timepiece was sold out within four hours of announcing that our OMEGA boutiques were allowing pre-orders back in September 2019. Therefore, it is no longer possible to order this particular timepiece as they are sold out nationwide. We do have excellent alternative options on our website, and I have included a few links below to view some of our other options. Click here to view our Speedmaster Heritage Collection Click here to view our Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Collection If you have any additional questions, feel free to email or call us by phone at 1-800-766-6342 Monday-Friday from 9am-7pm EST. Sincerely, OMEGA Sales Support I am confused as I was under the impression that Omega was still producing the Snoopy and was shipping limited quantities to their boutiques, would someone please clarify this point to me? Are they still shipping limited quantities or is the email correct and production ceased after the original run? |

They are no longer manufacturing it. However, I have a direct Omega contact I can provide via PM. Not sure if they can locate one for you. I think you’ll find better luck buying through Chrono24. There are usually at least 5-10 for sale.
