    Love it! Saw one of these at a pawn shop a few months back...great modern speedy, and with a JB Champion, looks so killer.

    So why hasn't anyone remade the NASA bracelets? They are so comfy!

    I think this combination looks fantastic. Well done.

    I day dream about a modern version of the JB bracelet paired with the FOIS case. Inside would be a dark blue or gray metallic dial with straight Speedmaster hands and drop end chronograph hand. I think this would have made a pretty nice looking Gemini 4 anniversary watch.

    As the width is 39.7 mm... Would an original DO90 bezel fit the FOIS 2012 ?

    Yep. Difference is listed diameter is due to lack of crown guards.
