    On watchgecko.com. 20 mm strap but it fits easily to the 19 mm of the FOIS ;)
    I changed the buckle by a vintage omega buckle bought on ebay.

    Hi guys i just joined omegaforums today and wanted to checking in my fois number 7856, overall i really like the size and the versatility of the watch, it can be casual and bit dressy with proper clothing :thumbsup:

    It’s from a Tissot PRC 200... watch number
    t014410a (my previous watch). It fits quite well, and I like the design (due to the polished end link areas, compared to the omega ones). And I had it at home :)

    Mine (5538) on 'Pav' black leather.

    I have a couple more on order from him: a brown 'rally' style and another black with black edge stitching.

    Greetings!
    I would very much like to purchase a deployment clasp for my FOiS, preferebly original Omega clasp.

    Anyone here using a clasp with his FOiS that could share experiences and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

    - Are there different models to choose from? I couldn't find any information on the official site.

    - If so, will they work with an aftermarket strap like this Bulang & Sons?

    I experimented with a bunch of 19mm straps last year but settled on this as it was the look i was after.
    £40 from Watchgecko.

    I just joined the club. Mine should be here in a couple of days.

    Strap suggestions welcomed. Especially "short" straps!

    Am I seeing things or is the sapphire crystal on this FOIS more of a pronounced dome than the earlier production FOIS? It looks almost like Hesalite.

    I guess you are seeing a plastic cover on the crystal that makes you believe it is hesalite.

    I've had my FOIS for a couple months after purchasing it from @mdgwrl. As soon as I got it I put it on a NATO then I purchased a 1125/560 and I never put it on the OEM brown strap until this week.

    I'm really impressed the watch looks fantastic on the OEM brown strap. I should have been wearing it on this more often.

    Put it on the grey zulu that comes with the trilogy— suits her well I think.
