    Leather looks good. Got a black nato to stick on when I get bored of steel. Then rotate back into the original brown leather maybe. Options. Options.

    If mine can keep out the moisture for a while it’s a keeper

    US created a 1450 style bracelet. It hasn’t been released yet due to quality issues and it’s only for the Pro. The hope is he creates one for the FOIS.

    €4.800, purchased ~€3.300 new from AD at -30% November last year :)

    I won't. I am on search for a keeper. Had sapphire sandwich Moonwatch for couple of years, but never got in love, sold last November and earned quite well. Same day I bought the FOIS, which I liked more, modded it a bit (added exhibition caseback & flatlink bracelet) but still it was not getting deep into my heart. I was a bit lucky here, because the next month Omega announced discontinuation, so accidentally I earned over 30% within 2 months :)

    I have ordered Apollo 8, which should come in April, so FOIS had to go. I hope the black ceramic one will stay. We will see.

    I would never let my FOIS go but each to their own of course. And wow, what an incoming! The Apollo 8 is one of the best modern iterations of the Speedy imho. That's one hell of a watch! Hope you will find what you are looking for but this one certainly is a strong contender for a keeper.

    Wow, that's an incredible profit for a FOIS, congrats. I thought there were still many brand new pieces available.

    After a turbulent relationship with my FOIS :whistling:, i sold it about a month ago. Few weeks was fine, then i regreted it.. :whipped:nothing new ::facepalm2::
    So i asked the buyer if he was happy with his new purchase, and he told me he just bought another Moonwatch brand new and that my one had some scratches on the underside of the lugs, which he wasnt fond of :coffee: so i asked politely if i could buy it back if he doesnt want to keep it, and he agreed on the same price :rolleyes:
    So my baby is back on my wrist rocking for the past few days ::psy::

    Edit:
    The question is, is it still considred a one owner watch? since i am the original owner and have the receipt on my name.. :D

    I hope so. The only thing that I do not like is a standard pin-buckle, especially with this curvy pin, similar to the one from SMP - I hate it. Such watch at this price should come with deployant as standard. Anyway, together with the watch I have ordered ceramic deployant and appropriate strap (same black with yellow coloured racing holes) and hope it will work.

    Anwyay, enough about Apollo 8, this is FOIS thread ;)

    You are lucky in your adventures Eve ! I think we can say it still a one owner watch ;)

    Nice move ! :whistling:

    Many things make this watch special, i am sure the price will still climb in the next years.
