Can AD / Boutique order just the bracelet if wanting to add the new bracelet to the snoopy? How much do they charge?

Yes they can. When I got mine several years ago, the price for the bracelet was around $700. I'm not sure what the current price is but I'm pretty sure it's higher.

$750 for the sapphire 3861 bracelet.

Just got for mine recently. Looks and feels much better!

Anyone happen to know definitively whether the Apollo 11 50th bracelet fits without modifications? I’ve seen photos of it but my OB didn’t know for sure.

Polished for me. Suits the silver dial and case nicely.

Always polished on Speedys in my opinion. Gives a more premium look. Also no worries of easily scratching like Rolex.

I love the steel bracelet on it but I already have a Soeedy on steel.

I decided to keep the look of the blue strap but replaced it with a folding clasp.

Which bracelet on silver snoopy?

Think would go brushed bracelet on the Snoopy, but polished looks nice too

Do they need to order it? How long does it take?

I personally prefer the blue strap that originally comes with the Snoopy, but if Iwere to go bracelet, definitely the polished one.

My experience is that if you call a Boutique they typically have it or it is in the network of stores and can be ordered and shipped on the spot. If dealing with an AD it maybe a hit or miss but most larger AD's have one or two in inventory.

Do you have any pics? While I think it looks great on the polished bracelet, I’d love to see it on the flat link or mesh options.

I bought from a forum member. The OB was my first call but they told me upfront the wait would be loooong.

As an update … I moved the Silver Snoopy on after a couple of weeks. It’s such a beautiful watch and very unique in the Omega catalogue.

Sadly, very sadly I have to say. I found the legibility to be very poor

Here it is beside my 321.

If we're talking the OB in Vancouver... I walked in a purchased two out of their stock.

Didn't get the impression they were hard to source.

You sold the Snoopy? Man I didn't see that one coming. What was the legibility problem? Did the blue subdials make it hard to read the blue hands?

Trust me … it was a difficult decision.

It’s a beautiful watch in every way, but yes the legibility was horrible for me.

The hands get lost in the blue sub dials. I couldn’t read the time at all in low light without staring at the watch (which might not be a bad thing to some)

For me, it’s one of the watches that looks (or reads) way better in pictures than in real life

I think I’m going to stay out with what i have for quite a while.

The Silver Snoopy was more of an opportune add, one I couldn’t pass up on.

I’m glad I had the chance to experience it, and I’m disappointed it didn’t work out. I thought about holding on to it for a while, but to what end?

Even though all my watches are very easy to read, it’s tough going from an EW, where legibility is an 11/10, to anything else.
