My only Speedy is the Apollo 11 50SS, but if it had the hesalite that would have been more attractive because of the visual aspect which trumps the sapphire crystal with the milky ring.
I'm going to be spending some time looking at real examples of hesalite vs sapphire!

I really want one of these. Tech at my local boutique wears one, and I absolutely love the case shape. I wish the hands all matched, but that is a minor thing. Love all the pics!

The FOIS is indeed a great looking watch. You'll need to move quick though if you want a new one from an AD/OB as it was just discontinued at the end of last year.

I think they are gone. No more at Boutiques. Unless there is an AD who has one, I will have to go used.

Good luck with your search. Hope you find a nice one.

Hey guys, new owner here! Is this the "Owners thread" for FOIS? Or is there an equivalent?

This is as much of an owners thread as it can be afaik.

I procrastinated for awhile but finally had the courage to put in a different case back.

I'll be doing the same after guarantee period is over.
Which case back is it?. Did you make it engrave?
Thanks

New strap day

is that a B&R strap? I just bought one from them that is very similar to that one for my FOIS and I love it.

I forget which caseback it was, I think the Limited Edition Speedy ref 3593.20. The markings are original and I didn't alter it. I like that this caseback feels thinner on the wrist.

Yes indeed! With a deployant clasp. Great quality! Broke in very quickly.
