    Sorry, my question came out a bit akward... Trying again:
    That is a very nice leather strap for this particular watch! Do you mind letting us know where to buy it - and the price?

    Checking in :) My first straight lug speedy. Wears a lot smaller than the pro and I like it.

    Looks just like the others, but is already special because my two year old girl has staked a claim to it

    What do you think about the FOIS compatibility of the new '57 bracelet? I've recently ordered a 1125/560 but i'm wondering if it was a mistake..
    Until then - on Heuerville terracotta:

    I'm thinking there's a high likelihood of it fitting but haven't seen anything to confirm that it definitely will yet.

    I have just the same current set up and was wondering just the same thing.

    If the '57 bracelet becomes available I'm having one.

    FOIS remains an amazing tribute Speedmaster chronograph... 55 years ago, Wally Schirra was first seen wearing an Omega in May 1962

    I heard the reason the hands on the re issue FOIS were because they were non omega hands from a watch service and that is why they did not match? Or maybe thats just a rumor. Still very cool for sharing.

    Number 605X checking in! I purchased the watch last week from chitownwatch. I had a good experience buying from Serge. This is my first Omega as well as my first luxury timepiece. I love everything about it. Here are some pictures.

    I'd highly recommend the Hodinkee aged moss green leather strap if anyone is looking for another option. Looks incredible on that strap. Would also look incredible on the grey and even the darker green (ala Arthur Touchot's).

    A man with the same tastes as myself. Nice looking outfit with the chambray, denim and Indys!

    Picked up my FOIS about a week ago and absolutely love it. I'm definitely going to pick up one of the HODINKEE straps.
