Bnew Bluesy vs BN omega snoopy 50th

[GST15]

Guess I'm the only one who would pick the Bluesy. I thought this was a joke.I love my Speedmaster, but always thought the Snoopy was kind of a gimmick. To each their own

You have to work it in. I took some time and kept bending it around my finger to shape it to my wrist. Takes a little bit of work, but you can shape it. Perfect fit now, and not uncomfortable at all. Plus, the blue strap just looks great with the other blue accents of the watch. Kind of why I added a blue Rubber B to my Bluesy.

Snoopy.

I would. I'm not Mike Nelson.

i'm with you, never understood the appeal of having snoopy on a watch. i wouldn't buy one even if it were one of omega's more affordable, easier-to-get options

[webble1]

My eyes are always drawn to the fact that Snoopy is placed way over to the right of the sub dial. I understand why they’ve done it that way so he’s not obscured but that’s all I see.

[Schnaps]

Would go for long term option and its the Rolex.

[Gerardus]

I see only Rolex vs Omega. Not an Omega fan so Rolex.

So much love for Snoopy , I don't understand ! for me Bluesy

[nighthawk77]

I've never fully understood the Snoopy association with NASA. I get it that it's some sort of historic mascot, but at the end of the day I just see a cartoon dog and I've always thought it's a bit gimmicky having this on a watch.

If you're a huge NASA fan, then YMMV, and I'm sure the Snoopy is/will be more collectible than the Sub. However the Sub is a classic, and with the date, added WR and dive bezel, it has more functional appeal for me.

Yes imagine some astronauts using a dog in his mission to outdoor space what a joke ……

[1William]

In this either/or it is the Snoopy for collectability and just overall cool. I am a huge Submariner fan but as others have stated it can be obtained without much effort. The Snoopy, once it is discontinued, will be costly and more difficult to find.

[Rolex1982]

Never owned a Snoopy, i did own a bluesy. Based on the picture of a Snoopy and the availability, i would go for the Snoopy. You can always add a bluesy later on.

[Phil8352]

lol I’ll take the Rolex Submariner over the cartoon, thx

[StylinProfilin]

As a dog and space lover, Snoopy all the way

[efthi]

I love the bluesy, had the 116613 and the five digit after that BUT Snoopy wins that debate

So your choices are a Submariner made for an adult man, or a children’s cartoon watch. Not sure how this is a hard decision… if you’re a grown man.

The Silver Snoopy Award was created in 1968 as part of the Manned Flight Awareness (now Space Flight Awareness) program. The idea was to allow the astronauts to recognize the exceptional contributions of individual workers (management are generally excluded) within the vast Apollo program workforce at NASA and its contractors, and the tradition has carried on to this day.

The idea for the Silver Snoopy award came from Al Chop, who was director of the public affairs office for the Manned Spacecraft Center (now called the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center). He wanted to create an award featuring Snoopy as an astronaut to be given by astronauts in recognition of outstanding contributions by employees and contractors.

Charles M. Schulz, who was an avid supporter of the U.S. space program, welcomed the idea of using Snoopy for the award. Schulz agreed to let NASA use "Snoopy the Astronaut" at no cost. Schulz himself drew the image the award pin was based on.

Since the Omega Speedmaster played an important role during Apollo 13, as one of the pieces of equipment that served as backup to the faulty instruments and thus helped save the crew members, on 5 October 1970 NASA gave Omega and the Speedmaster a Snoopy award to acknowledge the crucial role the watch played.

The snoopy depicted on the watch is what the actual snoopy award (which is a small silver pin) looks like. The 50th anniversary silver snoopy watch celebrates 50 years since Omega received the Silver Snoopy award.

For me, this rich history and having snoopy on the watch depicting and celebrating their achievement to the NASA space program is what makes it special, and one reason I find it so appealing let alone it's a beautiful watch. The Bluesy has none of this (other than it's beautiful as well).

Unless you work for NASA, and have actually received the award, this is just a pure marketing gimmick.

As they say… there’s a sucker born every minute.

[Wilco68]

The majority of people who will see your watch will not understand the background of the Snoopy, & might wonder why you’re wearing a ‘children’s’ watch.

The Bluesy is visually crass.

Was there a third option?

Everyone on this forum could live without your condescending posts. If you have an opinion, feel free to give it. But your condescending remarks are uncalled for and not necessary.

What would you choose, bluesy or snoopy? Both 16000? Thank you

As an owner of both and an avid Speedmaster fan, my vote goes to the Bluesy. But if you end up with the snoopy, I think it looks best on the bracelet.

[Onequik135i]

Silver snoopy has my vote too.

You’re totally right. I’ll try and be more positive.

[Bdwonder]

Extremely simple choice for me...the bluesy!
