路Mine is in the 5800s and is a week old. I wouldn't worry in the least, especially if you bought it new with warranty. Besides, the 1861 is a solid movement. I'm not even sure if they leave the factory in chronological order. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

路I was thinking about buying this watch but it seems small in my opinion compare to the normal moonwatch. I know it's only 1 mm smaller but the crown guard does make the watch bigger. Nice watch tho.

I think you'll find that's actually why most people on this thread, myself included, bought the watch. I have a smaller wrist and it wears better for me than a Pro.

路Has anyone ever had issues with FOiS caseback being sharp on the wrist?
Mine is quite sharp around the edge I've circled in red (around most of the caseback).
I have been thinking of replacing it with a vintage solid caseback or a Thomas Preik display back.
If I go with a solid caseback from a speedy pro/vintage speedmaster does anyone know if I will need any spacers/etc?

路I have not but i did notice trying on different Omega models that the crown would dig in my wrist. So maybe being cut / formed differently?

Strange. No, I've not had this issue.

路Have any FOIS owners got a suggestion for a deployant/strap combo that works well with this? Should I be going with the Omega 16mm? Is there a strap Omega makes that works with that?

I tried my Berenia leather deployment band (reference CUZ000918, 20mm) and looked awesome on my now gone CK2998 (19mm lug size), it should look very nice on the FOIS (which is 19mm lug size as well, probably my next Speedy [emoji2])

Yes, yes ,yes.Was just noticing this yesterday. And intend on doing the same thing. Quite uncomfortable at times. Plus, the night time visibility of the main hands is sub-optimal. Also, I don't love the lower profile crown for winding. Otherwise, really like it...

路Hello FOIS owners, I am looking forward to get one soon. However the caseback is fugly tbh. I was thinking to replace it with a 145.012 service caseback. Can anyone confirm if it can fit?

路Looks like one of us will have to try a new caseback and report back...
Re: Deployant straps-- I purchased the strap from the AT good planet which is 19mm. It definitely gives the watch a sportier look which I like more than the original brown leather. It is blue kevlar. 16mm is the deployant size.

路I will check under magnification later today.
I am doubtful however, since it is sharp around most of the entire circumference of the caseback.

路路Steve @ 惟FI ask because I have one and have no issues, just checked again for you though and it is very smooth.
Wonder if it was some type of stamping issue in manufacture?

路It definitely seems more related to manufacturing.
No scratches under magnification.
