    As a FOIS owner, I can confirm that the 20mm straps would work very well. I bought several 20mm leather and NATO straps for my watch and didn't encounter any issue at all.

    The 20mm leather straps may be a bit tight, but it doesn't affect anything at all.

    Good idea to save the original strap. I quite like it so am wearing it daily.Makes a nice contrast to the 1171 bracelet on my 145022 Speedy. I wonder, how easy is it to order replacement brown leather strap for the FOIS? From Omega or other sources?

    OEM strap is $111 and you wouldn't need the buckle.

    Taking advantage of this thread, I wanted to ask about where to buy the 1125 bracelet and the 617 end links. I have checked with Ofrei and the response I got is that they only have the bracelet in stock, but not the end links. They also said that Omega / Swatch have stopped supplying parts to 3rd parties in order to have full control of the supply chain.

    Thanks for your help!

    I think Omega using weird lug sizes is non sense. I've been using 22mm straps for the 21mm lugs on the SM 300.

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if there is any place to buy the Omega 1125 bracelet, or do you have to hope it will come up on ebay?

    When I was looking at the FOIS earlier in the week at the OB they told me that I could order a bracelet from them if I wanted and it was the same as the "Racing model". I'm not sure if it's exactly the same or the same bracelet with different end links. I didn't buy it, so I didn't follow up on the details, cost, etc. If Otto can't get you one anymore, maybe the OB is the way to go.
