·OK so I have a bit of a (first world) problem, I now have at least one too many straight lugs. Sorry for poor quality pics. Light here is very grey now:
If you can swing it, I’d keep all three but if you have to, it’d be the one in the middle for the chop for sure

·Had a chance to try the new FOIS today at a boutique. Was wearing my old FOIS to compare.
I allways thought my fois was not very legible, but after a stright side by side comparison, it is almost feels as legible as a speedy pro 🤣
Well to be fair i guess the boutique light dont do this watch a favour.. but i had the impression that the glare is really almost annoying. Not only the dial has this shiny effect but also the crystal adds some reflections, in combination with alpha hands and darker lume it constantly plays with light and loses some legibility.
Its a beautiful watch! Somehow i want to own one, but today i didnt pull the trigger..
I love it - it gives a bit of visual interest which can be lacking (for me) in some others, but the Ed White I previously owned was far more legible for sure.

·Dear members,
Just bought it. It is a beauty. The dial is stunning. Love it. After wearing it under different lights I have noticed an issue with legibility. Am Ii the only one experiencing this issue?

·M MamThank you.
I had a simmilar impression with the new FOIS, it constantly plays with light. which is somehow cool at first, but i am afraid it gets a bit annoying with time. i was hoping though that this was only due to the boutique light.

·I have other watches with a simmilar effect. E.g. a vintage Certina Blue Ribbon, that has a vertically brushed dial and tends to extremely change the colour at different angles. At first i really found it flashy and cool, the first impression was like "wow". But when wearing the watch it kind of started getting annoying with time. and now it hardly gets any wrist time.
