I really, really wanted a Snoopy 25th anniversary and noted from the threads on here that the one sold by Ali Express (?) had a better colour face. bezel and dial than the one you can buy from TD's on here but the TD's one had the revolving "earth" and Snoopy in this rocket ship revolving around Earth on the back. So I asked AMF if they could "swap" the "good" parts from the Ali Express one and put them into the better TD's one. Gee, I hope this make sense? - to get the best rep "snoopy" I can.
The one shown below with blue cloth band is the one from the TD's and the s/s one is the one from ALi Express ONCE THEY SWAPPED THE PARTS OVER i.e. all the "good stuff" on the cloth band and all the "remainder" on the S/S band.
I have never seen an original of this watch but the first thing that struck me was the bezel on the s/s looked clearer (and I will get this swapped over). The second was the actual face on the s/s one is whiter.
The one above is the moded AMF rep
This is the back of the Ali Express one (with a s/s bracelet - the original does NOT have a s/s bracelet). Snoopy and Earth do NOT rotate on this one.
As you can see compared to the one below the case back is completely different.
Snoopy and Earth both rotate on this one.
The one on the right is the Ali Express one and I think the bezel looks better?!
Guys, please have a look at these and let me know what you think. Considering the resources AMF had available, I think they did a GREAT job - but you guys will be the final decision makers on this!
As for the actual Snoopy watch itself - I honestly thought it would be bigger in size overall (they say 42mm but it's a small 42mm!) and it doesn't stand out anything like I thought it would i.e. it doesn't have much "bling". This is not the fault of AMF - but the pictures I've seen on Crono24 and YouTube made the watch look better. Also, I apologise for the quality of the photos.... they are taken on an iphone 5.
The cost was about 1500 pounds overall and took about 5 months to make - as I've said in the past, AMF are very good but it does take a long time to get the final product (part of the fun of this hobby!)
