Indeed, also keen to hear if anyone tries the new FOIS bracelet on the old FOIS watch head using Forstner end links.

Another question is whether the new FOIS adjustable clasp can be purchased separately from Omega (and then fitted onto the 321 bracelet)!

Apologies all, just saw another thread that confirmed the new FOIS clasp can't be fitted to the 321 bracelet.

Another option for the 19mm lug width cases like the FOIS is the ref 1416 / 784 19mm end links. Dont know for which watch it was intended but it sure a nice match with this FOIS.

Its a flatlink, just over 2 mm thick like the 10 cent coin, and while the endlinks are open, all the other links are solid !

With 3 removable links on either side with split pens, so real easy to change and with good reason as the clasp closing part is very small - and comfortable - the folding parts is much longer so i needed to balance it out as it sat to high up my wrist on one side with the original 13 / 13 links on each side.
So i moved 2 links from one side to the other and now its sits perfcectly flush on the underside.

It tapers down to 16mm so not to thin and weighs only 40 grams.

So i currently have my gen 1 FOIS on the ed white 321 bracelet with forstner endlinks. Im kind of anal so its always bugged me that i have aftermarket parts on my watch and want everything OEM.

I just saw somone on reddit fit the bracelet from the Trilogy braclet and endlinks (STZ00804) on their gen1 FOIS. And have seen posts on this forum that the bracelet and endlinks fit perfectly on the FOIS.

So it got me thinking, would it be possible to use endlinks from the trilogy and bracelet from the 321 ed white on the FIOS?

It depends on the width of the male end that fits into the slot/opening of the end link. The forstner 19mm end links i have are to wide to fit my 1416 bracelet so i kept the original open end links on them.

I know FOIS 2024 bracelet doesn’t fit the FOIS 2012 with the OEM endlinks. Has anyone tried 2024 FOIS bracelet with a Forstner endlinks?
PS since there is lots of feedback on Ed White 321 bracelet on FOIS 2012, wondering if EW 321 and FOIS 2024 have the same bracelet.
