Tell them that we made you do it. "One of us" 😀
Sounds a legitimate excuse just in case the lady from the omega boutique doesnt call me.. It is always nice to have a backup plan..

This size would probably look great on a woman. Give it to her and then borrow it occasionally.
IMHO the dimensions wear a bit larger than the 3861 pro.

Here's MY question- if this is a 19mm bracelet, does it fit the Seamaster Trilogy? Looking for someone to try that on for size.

Very doubtful, the 321 flatlink also doesn't fit (maybe people got it working with thinner springbars/different endlinks). It doesn't even fit the old FOIS so Omega again making it specifically for the model itself.

Am I the only one who thinks the hour hand has more lume than the minute hand? To me it really makes the hands look unbalanced.

Minute hand has a very small line of lume indeed.

I figured I would checkout C24 to see if anyone has tried to flip yet. Looks like the first batch went to nonflippers so far since the 2 listings aren't in stock.
I see one was just flipped today on WUS for $8250.

I guess he was a legitimate private owner…. I just can’t understand any reason for selling one so soon…

….unless he forgot to check with the wife!😵‍💫

Is it just me or are the pushers on the 2024 FOIS bigger than the 2012 FOIS?

I just ordered one at my AD.

Did anybody notice the omega symbol etched on the crystal above the hands point, excellent attention to detail by omega
When Omega mounts the crystal in an orientation where the Omega symbol isn’t aligned to 12 and 6 the angst will go off the charts.

A few pictures out on the sun!
You sir, read my mind. I've been wanting more to see it in the sunlight to get a good idea of what the lume color actually looks like when it's not under boutique lights. These photos might have been the push over the edge I needed to start start stashing the pennies away in the piggy bank for the upcoming purchase. I'll definitely be reaching out to the local OB to see it in person.

Stash some 1955DDRs and you should be good... otherwise might take a while 🤪

Was fortunate to have been invited to the OB Event to see the new FOiS on Friday. Wore my Snoopy for the trip with the intention of having them mount it on the bracelet:

Success!

Time to see the new FOiS:

Out of curiosity, what is your wrist size?

That's the way we roll....we are natural born angsters. The Omega logo on the sapphire crystals is laser etched in the crystal itself, not heat stamped like the hesalite jobs. Omega seems to take a little more care in aligning the logo on these crystals. My 321 Ed White's crystal is perfectly aligned.

Love the profile of the new sapphire crystal. Looks pretty bang on to the hesalite. I hope that's the standard going forward!

Old sapphire, hesalite, new sapphire.
