Seiko "Snoopy" Thoughts?

I've just pre-ordered the Seiko 5 SPRK25K "Snoopy Surfer." Looks like such a fun piece.

Who else likes it, or are cartoon character watches only for ten-year-olds? ;)

I like it and was thinking of getting it because I’m a Peanuts fan, only thing is will I be able to get it when it drops with all the fanboys and flippers trying to get their hands on one?

I have the Omega 50th Anniversary Snoopy and had the 45th. So I am obviously a big fan

Love it, and just ordered it.
Cheers OP!
Reading this forum has cost me again.....
Can't get a polar Explorer but this will scratch my itch nicely and is so different.
The strap really suits it too and will be a great summer watch.
Been an admirer of Seiko 5s for a while and a pal has the Brian May one, and this has made me buy my first one.
Wasn't sure about a 38mm as my others are all a min 40mm so we'll see how it looks and if I can get used to a smaller watch.

I saw one yesterday at my AD. Too small for me but looks great.

I am little concerned over the size, although I like my BB58 bronze which I think is a similar size.

I can always resell it if the fit isn't right.

Mine arrived this afternoon.
Fun watch and the strap really suits it.
Feels small immediately after taking off my Bluesy and putting it on, but later I put it on and it feels ok sizewise if you don't compare it to the larger watch you've just removed.
Smallest watch in the collection but it's just a nice bit of fun and only £350 for an automatic with day and date so can't complain.
Still need to hide it from she who must be obeyed though or she'll crack up if she spots another incoming....

Well, Snoopy has arrived, and it does wear and look smaller than I expected on my 7.5 inch wrist.

I love Snoopy. Love the Omega editions. Love the swatch ones. Love the Timex ones. Love the Bamford FM Crazy hours one. Dare I say, I like the invicta/mall watch ones. But I don’t really like these.

I like this Seiko. Snoopy getting more royalties than Seinfeld.
