··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?

Hi there and congrats on your purchase. I can vouch for the Forstner flat link as I have one on my FOIS. It looks good. It's light and comfortable, esp with the elasticated links. Adjusting the length is a breeze as it uses screws rather than pins.

There's a good comparison thread, if you haven't already searched for and found it. The ideal solution sounded to me like the band of one with the clasp of the other. YMMV.

·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…

·Got my first omega today - found a new First Omega in Space at a boutique. Couldn’t believe my luck - was about to give up and get a 3861. #1594x.

·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.

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?
