Does the new FOIS and the original Ed White 105.003 share the same dimensions?

    I have recently become smitten with the original Ed White and seeing the few new threads pop up has really got me stirred up to acquire one in the future. My question is does the original share the same dimensions as the new FOIS?

    I have seen the FOIS in person and it is a bit smaller then the 145.022 I wear now. Does the original 105.003 have the smaller pushers like the new version? I ask because I have not seen the original in the flesh and I find the new FOIS very attractive but it just seems a bit small.

    I also have a Rolex 1675 GMT that seems to share very similar lines to the 105.003. Other than the thickness, is this a fair comparison?

    Can anyone here post a side by side picture of the 145.022 and the 105.003 side by side for comparison?

    Again, as always, thanks for any insight.

    This is the best I can do at the moment. From left to right:
    145.022-69, 105.012-65, 105.003-64,Ck2998-2

    Thanks for the pictures. It almost appears that the new FOIS shares similar a pusher size to that of the Ck2998-2.

    I guess in hindsight I should have asked for a comparison of the new and the original side by side.

    Beautiful collection.

    Your picture is great and I'd take yours all day long. What I'm really looking for is the comparison of the 145.022 to the 105.003 and you gave me that. Thanks very much.
