I suppose it will most likely leave some marks as it’s a very close fit. I have a beads of rice too bought with the idea to swap between them but it was such a struggle fitting it I can’t see me taking it off for a while. I’ll just have to accept any marks it leaves. It’s just character

 

Back to the Roll Call topic; we have just spotted nr. 1491X in another thread on this particular watch.

 

I already introduced my FOIS on the previous page.

 

I have seen a number #15.0**

 

Just arrived by courier from AD...number 148XX

 

Photo or it never happened
Congrats

 

Congratulations!

I checked also at Chrono24... there is a FOIS with a number #154xx

 

I own 12xxx

 

btw. in case you didnt know, there is a Quarterfinals battle FOIS vs. Snoopy at Fratellowatches

https://www.fratellowatches.com/omega-speedmaster-fois-vs-snoopy/

 

FOIS isn’t doing to well against Snoopy 2. The other quarterfinal stage of Alaska project against Tintin is really close.

 

Yeah Snoopy is a strong contender!

 

Mine is 1335X.

 

The FOIS is my first Omega watch. Bought this week. It’s awesome but I find that the OEM doesn’t have a very high quality plus color.
Will change it to the 1035 Flat Link by Forstner and another leather strap.

Mine is very close to 15k.

1499X

 

Congrats. It’s a wonderful speedy, especially if it’s your first.

mine is one of the early ones and has aged quite nicely.
Almost like a matte leather now. With some darkening around the stitching.

 

Maybe I should give the OEM strap a try

 

Got mine yesterday and agree with you, it’s great - I did have a speedy Racing Schumacher before and have a few other Omega’s but it’s my first moon watch - the strap is too thin/narrow for my liking though so ordered a Forstner FlatLink and the Wide Komfit Mesh today, should be here tomorrow - will post some pics tomorrow.

 

I swapped mine onto a Fluco ralley strap pretty much straight away. Great quality and very sturdy, and feels a bit wider and more secure than the OEM, though that might be partly a function of the thickness and colour. Not sure it will patina as nicely, but very happy with it, especially for the 50.00 or so it cost.

 

I had the same problem with mine. The strap was too short and I didn't like the narrow look. I put the Speedy Racing bracelet, then the Speedy Racing rubber strap with deployant, and now currently have the US 1171 bracelet on mine. I also have the US flat link bracelet but haven't tried that one yet. Out of all of the straps and bracelets I've tried, I think the Speedy Racing rubber strap with deployant is the most comfortable.

 

No. 151xx reporting for duty!
