That looks stellar. Did you get the lume to pop out using a phone camera? Great execution.

Yep, just user phone torch, and low light inside area.
Easier with this fella

Back to the OPs modded FOIS, I am going to steal the slimmer case back idea. While I love the case, the same cannot be said about the case back. Definitely increases the height.

If anyone likes the look of the OP watch, I note someone (not the OP) is selling a FOIS with this exact dial mod over on TZ-UK at present. That one still seems to have the original lug finish.

Something about a panda that just catches my eye. Currently out of the watch market, but if I found a panda like that i'd consider going off the wagon.

I would do everything you did if I got a FOIS, including brushing the lugs, except changing the dial to white.

Some may think I'm crazy, but can't be happier with the result.
Also brushed lugs as pro, and mounted a see through caseback which makes it 1,5mm slimmer.

I like the case back but not a fan the new dial for the FOIS, that one is good the way it is. But if you are happy, tht is all what counts !

Do.you have a picture With the omega clasp fitted on it?

Thanks

That looks insanely beautiful. could I ask how much did you pay for the dial. There’s a deal on eBay..now for 2k and I’m tempted to do something similar. I’m just wondering if it will fit is all. I’ve got the 2019 model. Wondering if anyone here can help me..

A few years ago you could buy them for 500€, but they stopped free delivery.
I paid 1500€, including hands and watchmaker's job.
Any Speedmaster pro dial, hands, etc will fit FOIS.

thank you. That’s useful. I might actually carry on with the eBay deal for the dial. And have it fixed elsewhere. Excited to get the panda look . I understand I’d probably not sell this watch and might just hold on to it for years to come.

Omega doesn't sell these special dials anymore except on an exchange basis, so supply is dwindling and prices are increasing.
