I’ve owned the FOIS three times now, both CK2998’s and the 60th trilogy speedy.

Size wise they are terrific. The biggest issue is lack of bracelet in the main. The bracelet on the trilogy had 2 main issues. It didn’t taper, and the clasp was quite large and the micro adjust fairly small.

I had the speedy racing bracelet on my others, and while it was a perfect fit it was quite modern looking and heavy.

If I was doing again now, I’d buy an uncle seiko or forstner flat link. Very light, give the proper vintage feel and best of all don’t have end links which protrude over the end of the lugs.

In fact, I am considering a FOIS and replacing the hands with a standard speedy pro set with a flat link for an Ed-white lookalike.
