    Not really a FOIS, but US 1175 fits perfectly on it...

    Pictured below is a freshly installed Uncle Seiko - the flat-link.

    Installation was a breeze. Be patient and take your time. I ended removing 2-3 links (with a pushpin tool) to properly size my 7” inch wrist.
    Bracelet is superb and looks / feels like a quality product.

    Notice that texasmade’s bracelet did not break but his push pin tool did. Sounds like faulty alignment of pushpin tool with bracelet. I call user error.

    Welcome to the club! I joined about a month ago and it has rarely left my wrist. It’s my first modern purchase as well. Have only dabbled in vintage up until now.

    Aye, aye, I see the speedy easily becoming my daily wearer. Speaking of vintages - the expert advice saved me from being stuck with a semi-shitter .
    I love my vintage Geneve - definitely not a shitter - it came with a generic Omega BoR bracelet. Omega veteran (Big Kudos to you sir @SkunkPrince) helped me (educated) me on identifying the factory bracelet - which I am now awaiting.
    Ammmmaazin’ forum this is.

    What vintages do you own? Share some pics.

    Definitely user error. I was using the Uncle Seiko tool that has the push pin thing on one end and the normal spring bar thing on the other. The pin ended up bending so I tried to straighten it but the pin broke.

    Enjoying my brand new FOIS since a few weeks now. Such a cool watch!
    It seems i am taking the lead with No. 14915. Lets see how many Omega will still release.

    Congrats on winning (so far) the race for the highest S/N! And nice strap in the last pic. Keep meaning to swap out the leather for a NATO and then the bracelets but haven't managed it yet.

    This Flat link ads to the pre moon vintage look. The very reason I gravitated to the FOIS in the first place.

    I really like mine on the 1125/617 combo, but this looks very cool :)

    Yep. Still waiting on mine, though I do have the eBay steel to hand.

    Any rubbing or scratching on the case or between the lugs with the flatlink?
