First Omega .....incoming FOIS
Just bought a new FOIS from DSW. Looking forward to this piece. Love the history/backstory, love the look. I know there’s a lot of “hesalite only” fans, but this reference, with the vintage vibe, really sings to me. A Speedmaster pro with hesalite may be in the future, but this ones size, hands, lugs, no crown guards, etc....really spoke to me.

This is a fantastic watch.
I’ve had mine for a few years now and it’s a wonderful companion to my heselite moonwatch on leather. It wears totally different and has a totally different feel. Despite the absence of heselite it is slightly domed but feels very vintage! Congrats |

I wanted a Speedy with a leather band ... so I had choice of FIOS or MOTM ... I chose the MOTM because the band has a really nice clasp instead of a buckle and slight wider at 20mm. If the FOIS had a clasp I would have gone with it instead .. Although .. I do prefer the Hesalite. The case is really same size on both .. MOTM just has crown guard but not that noticeable.

Congrats. The FOIS is a great watch. So versatile. I don’t have mine now, but if I was going to add a speedy again, this would probably be it....

Congrats, I also very much prefer the FOIS case size and design. I am thinking about selling my SD43 and getting one of these. The only things I would prefer is hesalite and they should have provided a 1171 type bracelet.
