Snoopy moonswatch is real!

It actually looks better than I expected. But my expectation were pretty low to begin with.

I really like the Moonswatch and the Snoopy is pretty cool. However, I can only tolerate waiting for watches from one company at a time. Right now the Rolex hook is in deep. If it were easier to get I would pick one up. Cheers to those that manage to get one.

I like it very much. I will try to get one but I don't know how hard it will be. I have the Antarctic Ocean Swatch so it will be nice combo.

I love the history of the Moonwatch and NASA in general. However, with such a large catalogue and the numerous "limited editions," I can't back the brand. The Moonswatch will work for the brand if the goal is to maximize profits. However, I do think they might have lost a lot of enthusiasts.

I'm kind of over the Moonswatch. I thought it was a great idea when first launched, but I think they have taken it a bit too far. It's also interesting they kept this as a "Snoopy" watch and avoid any NASA reference. Probably keeping that for the big brother.

I like it. I'm going to try to pick one up for my wife when it becomes more widely available as it's not supposed to be a limited run.

18 months on I'm still enjoying my Moonswatch - and as someone who is both a Snoopy fan and unlikely to ever be able to afford an Omega Snoopy Moonwatch, I will be joining the queue for this release....... I'm fortunate to live near a Swatch Boutique so lets roll the dice and see what happens....as we all know the hunt is the fun part...

I like it. It's a fun watch. I'll pick one up to add to the 4 other Moonswatches I have.
You'll never catch me waiting in line for one though. That's for sure.

A 70K jewellery spend should put you on the retail list.

I have no issue with Swatch putting out a snoopy, but the overall look of it isn't for me. It's just too white. If they put a black case or at least black bezel on it I'd be interested. Not big on the all-white look.

Ya. All of the one's I bought were as a walk in with no wait at the NYC Boutique.

Agreed! I was hoping it was going to look like the black and white mockup version that was floating around. Maybe in person it would strike me differently.

usual crowd of scalpers & resellers at my local boutique this morning. But a quick check on ebay reveals the resale isn't ridiculous, so I'll bide my time I think.

Lots of old folks getting paid a couple of bucks to stand in line at this Swatch store this morning. Only one per customer allowed. (Wife snapped this as she was passing by.)

Come on, those are clearly fellow WIS watch enthusiasts with an intense love and appreciation for horology trying to acquire one MoonSwatch that they will wear and cherish the rest of their lives.

Tomorrow they'll probably be in line for something else to help pay the shoebox rent, and at least the mall is air conditioned. We had the hottest March day on record a couple days ago and today was about the same (31c I think).
