321 Ed White - Does someone have a down the wrist photo?

I would appreciate a few photos of a down the wrist Ed White, almost like if you were holding a steering wheel at the 12 position. Please and thank you.

I’ve been told the FOIS is similar to how the 321 Ed White is. The one thing i strongly disliked on the FOIS was how tall and puckish it looked when looking down the wrist. I understand the Ed White is slightly taller but as we know dimensions in the Omega world are ever deceptive.

This is the only 'down the wrist' type shot I have. I find the Ed White fits fine on my 7 3/8" wrist, never feel it is too tall or top heavy. An easy watch to wear.

Do you mean the FOIS released a couple of years ago or the version from 2012?

So a DTWP of FOIS?

Looking for down the wrist shot of the Ed White recent issue to see if down the wrist it looks more like the FOIS or 3861

I have the FOIS and the 321. I can take a picture of both tomorrow. They are very similar. Neither is top heavy. I also know of an Omega AD that has the 321 in stock and wants to move it quickly. Maybe they cut you deal. Happy to make an intro for you.

Yes I would appreciate the pictures and potentially the introduction.

I tried on the 3861 and find it sits low (perfect) on the wrist. I tried the FOIS and from the side it seemed fine, but from the steering wheel/down the wrist shot it looks bulbish is how I would describe it. I don’t like grand seiko for that reason.

Here ya go. The FOIS is much “taller” than the Ed White. FOIS on left in 3rd picture. Love them both - but - the Ed White is next level. Get it!

From the photos, it looks like you would prefer the 321 or the 3861 (which is what my earlier photo is of).

I think this is a good move - no faux patina either!

Tradewinds - let me know if you want the intro. They want to move it.

Do any of these help? I do think the 321 reissue Ed White and the Apollo Apollo II 50th Anniversary Moonshine are the killer Speedmaster in the last 10 years.

The ones in the picture are all the 321? Yes, btw that’s exactly the two watches (321 or 50th) I’m in between.

Sorry to jump in here, @Sft33, but I think it is possible that the sort of shot @TradeWinds577 is looking for is something more akin to this (non-321 shot), if you could take one:

Sorry in these two pictures the Ed White is first than the FOIS? I thought it was the other way around.

If you have the money get the 321. No brainer.
sorry I was unclear, in your down the wrist shot, which is the 321 vs the FOIS?

The second photo with milky ring is the FOIS
