··Ash @ ΩFFunny to think these came out nearly a decade ago, how time flies… I still think of this as a relatively new addition to the Speedy family and a much loved one at that,

Don't think I've posted in this thread before, so allow me to introduce my FOIS #41XX, which I bought new over 6+ years ago.
Here are a few more pics of my FOIS with Ed White bracelet.

·Thought I would jump in and say hello. Purchased my FOIS (15,5**) back in May of this year. I prefer a bracelet so I added the US1450 but I’m also thinking of getting the Forstner flat link. Thoughts?

·The chap from McFly, who revealed himself as a Strictly contestant, was on the One Show earlier today wearing a FOIS on the original leather strap.
No pictures I’m afraid but good to see the FOIS getting an airing on the BBC - not that the untrained eye would have noticed…

The number on yours suggests to me that Omega have probably produced an even 16000 of them in total from 2012-2020. Don't know if any sources can confirm this.

Congratulations for this purchase. Same here for me, i luckily could find what might be the last available in France.
Will receive it in two weeks when back from holidays.

·Photos or it didn’t happen - and congrats on the pickup. Last time I was in an AD they said the FOIS is still regularly requested, but there really aren’t very many around now.
I think the OB was even surprised. I had a couple AD try to place a special order with no luck. I was traveling in NJ and stopped by the boutique and they didn’t have any either. I reached out again to ask if I could be on a waitlist for 321. Got a text back saying they just got a FOIS in. I was secretly hoping it would be #15999 or 16000.

I have heard the same — my AD said he’s had two in since the announcement and they went fast. Like an hour or two fast.

·Sounds like the highest number so far.
I picked mine up in early July, I originally posted the number on this thread without the last 2 digits - mine is number 1596x. I am curious to see what comes in with higher numbers, it will be fun to know if Omega stopped at 16,000 or if they possibly went over 16,000?
