Who else agrees that the FOIS is the better looking speedy?

I love them all and I wish the FOIS had better bracelet options but the FOIS a fine looking watch. Clean and somehow more classic than the professional.

It's a nice watch, but the lack of a hesalite option means it's a no-go for me.

The FOIS is awesome. I love it. Fits my wrist better too. All that said, I still prefer the look of the MOTM.

i'm with you! love the FOIS. I have the CK2998 which is super similar but love the design so much I'm tempted to go for a FOIS at some point as well.

I agree with you guys. I have the ck too and love the style. I had a speedy pro, but it felt pretty big in comparison. Of the 2 black ones I'd go fois, but only if I had a bracelet to fit too.....

I like the FOIS much better than a standard modern Speedmaster.

I myself like the sleeker look without crown guards....but there's something very iconic about Speedy Pros......flip a coin if it were up to me to decide heh. Both winners.

Tough call. I really love the shape of the CKs and the FOIS, but the classic Pro is iconic in its own right. I'm kinda hoping that the new 60th Anniv Speedy will be the best of both worlds.

I prefer the FOIS over the moon watch. I actually first bought the moon watch then sold it for the FOIS. I didn't like the crown guards on the moon watch lol.
