Alright, so last month I decided it was time. Time to get my hands on that OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while, and let me tell you, actually starting the buying process was way more involved than I thought.
Starting the Hunt
First, I started looking into this watch. I searched everywhere and figured out it’s not a limited edition, but it’s super hard to get. People really want this watch! Especially because of that cool case back design. I learned that the official name is “Speedmaster ‘Silver Snoopy Award’ 50th Anniversary” and the reference number is 310.32.42.50.02.001. I also found out it has a manual wind movement, a 42mm case, and a silver dial that really pops. It was time to get serious about finding one.
Reaching Out
So, with all the info I gathered, I started reaching out. I tried to find a real person to talk to. There are so many listings online, but it is hard to know what is real. Finally, I found a few places that seemed legit. I sent a bunch of messages, asking about availability and price. Most places told me they were out of stock, which was a bummer. But I kept at it, and after a few days of back and forth, I finally got a hit. They had one left!
Sealing the Deal
Once I found a place that had the watch, I had to jump on it. We talked about the price, the condition of the watch, and all the other details. The seller sent me a bunch of pictures, and everything looked good. It came with the original box and papers, which is pretty important for a collector’s piece like this. After making sure everything was legit, I made the payment. It was a big chunk of change, but I knew this watch was worth it.
The Wait
After paying, the waiting game began. It felt like forever, but finally, I got the tracking info. I tracked it every day until it was on my porch! The seller packaged it well, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I was so excited to finally hold it in my hands.
Unboxing and First Impressions
Opening the box was like Christmas morning. The watch was even more stunning in person. The silver dial, the blue accents, and of course, that awesome case back with Snoopy in his spaceship. I immediately put it on my wrist, and it fit perfectly. I knew I had made the right decision. It’s a piece of history, and I’m so glad I was able to add it to my collection.
- Specs I found out:
- Fits up to 8-inch wrist
- Manual wind movement
- 42mm case size
- Silver color dial
- Silver Snoopy Award 50th Anniversary Edition
So yeah, that’s the story of how I got my hands on the OMEGA Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary watch. It was a journey, but totally worth it. This watch is more than just a timepiece; it’s a symbol of a major achievement in space exploration, and now, it’s a part of my personal collection. Pretty cool, right?
