I am not sure why the height is an issue? my FOIS measures 14mm, the same as a standard Speedy Pro.
i can imagine it might look slightly taller due to the midcase design, but it really isnt taller than the normal Hesalite Speedy.
have been considering one of late but really want to try it on before buying, can the standard speedmaster professional's bracelet be swapped for a different bracelet? i dont like how the solid endlinks make the bracelet extend longer
Reading though the thread it has hit me why it looks taller, the FOIS case back is taller which raises the case of the watch off my wrist.
Ace Jewelers has also confirmed with a post on their IG page that FOIS has been discontinued.

#SpeedyTuesday with the now discontinued #FOIS on #Forstner flat link bracelet - a winning combo
I have been undecided over the FOIS and the Moonwatch Hesalite or Sapphire for so long now that it is unreal - cant decide which to buy, that has now been going on so long that the RRP's have gone up during my decision making or lack of, and it looks like all 3 are up to be discontinued - I will try to go pick one up in the next few days before its too late - but still unsure which of the 3 I want...any help would be most appreciated.
There are so many out there the second hand price is bound to fall IMO
I remember seeing a few second hand FOIS at under 3k EUR about a year and half ago. And those were not even quick sellers.
Thats when i wanted to pull a trigger on one, but somehow spent money on other watches.. All of a sudden the prices started creeping up slowly, and the longer i waited i realised that the train has left and that the second hand prices were not too far away from retail+discount. So i went to an AD this summer and bought a new one with a fair discount. That was actually my first and only "new watch" purcahse 😀
I honestly dont care if the prices gonna fall (if they do, i will buy another one 😁 😗), but when i look at next best straight lug alternative and recent price development somehow i doubt it.
If this thing had a hesalite crystal it would be on my wrist right now...
Why don’t you put a hesalite crystal then?
It’ll be interesting to see how this affects price in the next few months.
