Its interesting. I have had absolutely zero issues with visibility or telling time. What am I missing here? Is it under some kind of light that visibility becomes bad? For reference, my FOIS pictured in my post above.
Same here. No legibility issues for me.
Legibility/visibility has never been an issue for me with regards to the FOIS. Although I really liked the watch as it is, I often found it quite dull and flat. After trying different bracelets (which did little to improve it), I ended up asking an AD to swap the cristal against a plexi. It solved 100% of aesthetical issues for me. I have now a perfect 2998 for 4.0 K€.
May I ask if you used an Omega factory plexi crystal and, what was the part number.
Thanks
Crazy that an AD did that for you, but it looks good.
That looks great! If I am not mistaken, It looks as if your AD also installed a rehaut, ie a silverish ring going around the dial, which is true to the original ck 2998 reference. Very cool indeed.

Hi everyone. My first post here. I just picked this up blind 4 days ago. I tried the pro but my AD didn't have the fois in stock and I knew I wanted a slightly smaller fit
. So I called and ordered it in from a nearby city without trying it on. I did my research and I'm glad I went with my decision. Initial thoughts--- I do agree that the hands aren't the easiest to see in all lighting but it's a challenge I'm ready for. The strap--I'm happy with the color but I'm a little surprised at how "dainty" it is. It thins out to I believe 16mm at the buckle and it seems very thin or ladylike to me. I'd like to hear your opinions. Other than that, I'm glad to finally be a part of the Speedy club!

BTW, for those of you wondering, my numbered edition is very close to 11,000.
