@@BarkandJack Hi Adrian, nice watch... love the blue on white, similar to Omega's city edition for Singapore. Quick question: I dont think i will ever be able to afford a Swiss made tourbillion watch, what do you think of these Chinese made ones on Amazon? They're like 500 USD each in which the price is so minute compared to Rolex Label Noir tourbillion but it's still 500 dollars. I recall on one of your video when you bought that Rolex knock off and your feeling on it.

Hi Adrian. Great video, as always. Just to add some of my thoughts on the whole Rolex-Omega-Fanboy-Hypocrisy. I do agree that its not just a Rolex thing....however. Omega is at least accessible at some level. You can admire and aspire to own a 'limited' Speedy. Yet you can go out right now and spend your hard earned cash on a regular Speedmaster, Seamaster, Railmaster.....whatever. Seems like a consolation prize, but you know yourself how special and unique a mass produced watch can be regardless. That's just not the case for Rolex anymore. The barrier to entry is insurmountable.

I think Omega’s method of selling these is different from before, and hopefully it ends up as a win for everyone. From an outside observer’s POV, it looks more similar to ordering a custom car (put money down to have your name in the factory queue). This way Omega gets better data on the true demand for this product, and can adjust accordingly (and probably sell more units overall, which is a win for them). Truly interested customers win because they will eventually get the watch they want, even if it’s waiting for several months (but it’s a stronger guarantee, instead of the Rolex AD courtship game). Maybe the only people that lose out are the grey market/flippers (because the scarcity of this watch is ultimately an unknown), and that’s OK imo

Rolex intentionally limits availability on their regular production models. That's a huge difference and like comparing apples to oranges.

First, the quality/price of Omegas is waaay better, second if you buy or happened to have bought a speedmaster professional a while ago you can call your boutique and they will put you on the waiting list and GUARANTEE that you'll get one without the bull***t that you normally hear from Rolex ADs and Thrid, the waiting list won't extend more than a year tops.

@@tomscott4438 in this vid he's wearing a Hamilton which is part of the Swatch Group, same as Omega, so he can't be such a Rolex fan boy surely. I would love a Batman or a Root Beer but there ain't a cat in hell's chance of me weighing on over list price for either hence I have really bought in to Omega in the last year 'n' a half. I got myself the two tone sedna+steel Diver 300 last summer, then in the Autumn I got the 007 Commander's watch because I was offered it at a really great price. It was an impulse buy and I did end up feeling the James Bond branding on it was a bit over the top almost immediately after getting it. Though I took a 200 quid hit on it to trade it in for the three hand orange bezel Planet Ocean about a month ago my AD let me have the new'un at 20% discount and at the pre September price rise RRP too so that more made up for it! I won't be trading either in for this Snoopy though so I will have to work out how I am going to fund it because I won't do it 'interest free for 24 months' as I won't get any discount on it that way. Most likely do it on the credit card and get a new card for a 0% balance transfer.

I like it, but am not a fan of the glass on Speedies. The dome on the crystal is going to get banged. I understand that sapphire crystal glass is very hard, but I am not willing to put that to the test. I think the watch is incredibly attractive from the side-on view, even though it's very deep. The manufacturing is superb.

Not a fan of the Rolex/Tudor fanboy whining session, but I am puzzled by the new Snoopy. I see two problems. 1. It looks like a less attractive version of the 2016 CK2998. 2. It might damage the status of the previous Snoopy. I don't have much more to say about nr.1, but nr.2 is a bit tricky. On the one hand they risk torpedoing the one Omega that has actually managed to get some proper Rolex/Patek-like hype behind it. On the other, we all know Omega will keep releasing commemorative watches for every round number anniversary of something, which makes you wonder why the previous Snoopy appreciated so much in the first place.

@@andrewgiblin3468 I tried on the 39mm op and it wore a little large due to it being white, all dial and a long end link to end link length. Even if the new op is only 1mm bigger and not the listed 2mm, I think it would wear too big for me, or better put i dont think that size suits it style. Unless you want the loud colours, then its a high end fashion watch style to me. I hear that they have slimmed down the lugs etc. I was hoping the old 39mm design would be adopted into a new range of 36mm without the double baton markers. There is no white option at 36mm or 41mm. no doubt rolex will trickle this out next year for everyone to get excited about something that was just popular and taken away. Fair play on the sub, I would love a modern version of the pre ceramic cases. I found the bracelets and clasps too cheap to be paying so much for the older ones but the case looks good. The new 40.5mm sub is the closest it will get, the last ones were plain boxy yet everyone convinced themselves that it was ok. I've never been mugged or known anyone to be, but you will be a target in certain parts of London. Its a congested city with many new folk. Still a lively place to live pre covid. I dont know what you're implying, you have tougher legal sentences? What do you mean by the means to defend yourself? I have been to vancouver and the surround nature is nice, but being in my 30's it would bore me to death. You have to drive long stances to do anything.

To be fair, you can't get standard edition Daytonas or Subs, but you can walk into literally any Omega boutique with the money and walk out with numerous Speedmaster or Seamaster models. It isn't the lack of availability of limited editions with Rolex that's an issue. It's the lack of availability of the standard models. That's why people are salty. Then again, look at the value retention between the two brands...
@jonathansaraco

Exactly. It was kind of tone deaf from Adrian to accuse Omega of doing Rolex's thing when this Snoopy did not replace every other Speedmaster at retail. Then he would be justified in pointing out hypocrisy in the community, but obviously Omega hasn't done that, so he's grasping at straws a bit. When Rolex makes a new watch, they discontinue every previous one, forcing you to wait years for the new one, or pay exorbitant amounts for one on the used market. But what if you want to buy the old one used? Well, since Rolex just discontinued it, they just shot up in price! That's the Rolex strategy, and Omega has never done that. And his comparison to the new BB58 and how "it's just a blue Speedmaster". I mean, that case back alone is more inventive than anything Tudor has done in years. So again, these comparisons are exaggerated a bit.

They needed to make this mission fun and interesting...that's with this watch is, fun!!! Buy your tourbillons, buy your grand compilations..they are serious watches they have their place.

I'm a bit confused... Why are people freaking out over how much it will sell over retail? 6 month waitlist? Big deal, if you can put a full deposit and get the watch in 6 months then that's fine. You can't do that with Rolex on their hot models. Firstly, there is no "waitlist" for hot models, if you do not have a purchase history. I was really interested in this watch before launch and almost put a deposit down. The Omega boutique all but guaranteed I would get allocated one, no purchase history. The guy was honest with me, he said they know they will get allocated a ton at his location because of the volume they drive and that I would simply have to wait for the whales to get theirs first and once they got theirs I'd get mine delivered. Yeah, idiots will put these up for insane prices but this will settle. Also, I've heard that there have been cancellations of orders after certain people realized it was not going to be a limited edition. Although, if I'm being honest, it doesn't take a genius to realize that Omega will probably produce the same amount as their high number limited editions and will simply not number the thing.
