Deposit placed for 321 Ed White!

Just placed a deposit for a Speedy 321 Ed White at the local boutique!

Now the wait begins!

Was there initially to try the new 3861 moonwatch but after handling it...I am convinced its the 321 that I'll really enjoy!

Hope to report back with an incoming in the near future!

Awesome! Did you have to put down a full deposit, and did they give you an ETA?

Great choice, you're going to love it! The 3861 is a great watch, but the 321 Ed White is another level!

Is it easy to order Ed white or as hard as snoopy?

Easier since Omega is allowing customers to order it. Snoopy 50 lists are closed and you can’t place a deposit right now. All you can do is register your interest and go on a waiting list for the next batch.

snoopy by far! heard from my boutique they are controlled by HQ on the allocation. Ed white would be easier but there is still a wait time!

Crazy world we live in the rolex effect spreading across to other brands as well

yeah i heard from the boutique manager about 600 ppl registered interest at his branch on the day of the announcement and so far only allocations are still in the single digits.

I’m actually glad I got the 321 first and requested it that way

The snoopy is really cool but to me the Ed white was more desirable

Now who knows when snoopy will arrive but I’m sure it won’t be that long

I’d agree with this. The snoopy is ok, but I can see me tiring of it over time. I don’t expect that will happen with the 321 given it’s classic look making it far more versatile.

What deposit is required? I wanted to ask before I ask my ad. Anybody can order this or do you have to have prior sales? Pretty new to omega world as I’m getting tired of rolex and I refuse to pay grey market. I really wanted the snoopy and ad has told me I’m on waiting list as deposit is already done. So pretty sure I have slim chances on that so now I’m getting fond of this Ed white. But just wanted to get some details before I get my hopes up. I’m in no hurry but I would like to know that I will eventually get it as I didn’t get that feeling with snoopy.

I couldn’t tell you about the deposit - it varies from country to country. Here in the U.K. it was zero. I’ve seen posts from some in America where they’ve asked for 50% or full payment.

A deposit will effectively guarantee you a watch, but there will be no set time for that to happen - more when the mother ship shoves them into their stock. That’s been slow so far, and they are not making that many, but you have to think that as the world moves out of various lockdowns there will be more stock dribbling out.

I inquired about the Ed White at my local US boutique and I was told a 50% deposit would be required.

It differs, I had to put down a 30% deposit. Where as at other boutiques they are not even accepting deposits. So its on a case by case basis I suppose! Maybe I lucked out!

Thanks. I put my name down and my ad didn’t ask for deposit as they don’t know when my turn is up but it looks like it’s doable compared to snoopy. She said roughly two years for 321 but as long as there’s hope. Lol
