My 10 year old would love it, but not for me.

I like it but not enough to spend that much for one.

The watch is OK and I am an Omega fan. Too expensive.

Never purchased an Omega, this will be my first.
I have a rule that watches need to have something about the dial and/or reverse that really impresses (preferably both), this piece does impress on both the dial and the reverse so it's a big thumbs up from me. With reference to the thread being for Rolex fans and their thoughts about the piece, my counter take would be that Rolex make good tool watches but the dial excitement is limited to a few models and the chance to impress on the reverse is absolutely non existent - Rolex simply couldn't come up with such a piece which I think is a shame as the world needs a bit of whimsy. |

Also agree on the "stick" on the caseback. Just seems like there might have been a better way to do that so you don't see a plastic popsickle stick holding up Snoopy's command module. Love everything else about the caseback but once you see the stick it's hard to unsee it. Wish they could have found another way. |

I like it! Great color! Great movement (caliber 3861). Love the extra touch on the case back!

Looks like something the Franklin Mint would come up with. That is not a $10,000 watch unless we accept that the blue strap is somehow worth $1000 more than a bracelet, the dial is $2000 and the caseback has a $3000 work of art on it.

I like it, but from experience silver and white dials never last with me for some reason. I prefer the Apollo 11 steel and gold, which with each release subsequently looks a bargain (at least at U.K. prices).
I do think the case back is cool, but it’s the sort of thing I’ll look at on the day I get it and then likely never again. |

I think it's a great looking watch. I'm hoping to buy one but I understand the price is on the high side and I wouldn't be too pleased if they rolled out stupid amounts of them to the point they were just sitting in the display cases.

the more I see this piece, the more I like it. I still agree that Omega has been very aggressive on this one. But guys, if you like it, buy what you love and wear it in good health. I doubt there will be a huge discount on this one in the second market anyway. So get one if you like it, or move on to another if it doesn't click on you!

Like the dial and colours, but not a fan of the caseback. Would have much preferred to see the movement instead.
The price is also super high for a Speedy on strap, couldn't pay that. |

I think it's a wonderful watch! I'd probably get a bracelet for it as well, it seems it suits it better than the strap with just tang buckle.

But there are a lot of us who don't understand why Omega put that animated case back on it. Sent from my Motorola Bag Phone |

I like the design but don't love the tie in Snoopy character on the dial. Feel the same about the 007 watches. For big $ watches I think it would be preferable if they restrict the tie-ins to the case back. Now on a fun priced watch I go the other way. Like the Timex Marlin line with the Peanuts dials. Cheap and fun.

Omega deployant buckles are really easy to undo to open up the strap. I still think it was a cost saving feature.

Agree you can see the caseback on a angle with the deployment but personal I prefer the tang buckle always over the deployment. Feels so much better on the under side of my wrist.
