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.
