Hello everybody,
I really love my FOIS but I always wanted to wear it on a bracelet.
So I did some research and searched for 19 mm bracelets that could fit the watch.
(Since I wanted to have more of a vintage look, I left out the bracelets 1564/975 or 1565/976.)
Here is the interim result of my research.
FOIS on 1125 / 617 bracelet
This is the one vintage looking bracelet for the FOIS that you can still get at the OB.
The only tricky part was to find out that the spring bars (19 mm, 1,8 mm diameter) come in two different lengths. One short version reference 2206 for bracelets and one slightly longer reference 2207 for straps. The latter ones are coming with the FOIS and making it almost impossible to fit a bracelet to the watch. Take the short version and it will work.

FOIS on bracelet 1098 / 540
I really love my Speedy Pro on the 1116 bracelet, so it was nice to see that the small brother 1098 fits the FOIS. And the end links 540 are still available at the OB!

FOIS on bracelet 1068 / 556
To give the FOIS a kind of 60ies look I went for a beads of rice bracelet reference 1068. Again, the end links are still available at the OB! (Yes, the fit is not quite as good as the other bracelets, but …)
