·Very nice! Congratulations! Out of curiosity - what are the first two digits on the serial - am wondering how high we’re getting these days.

·I appreciate all the info on this forum, really outstanding. I began looking for a vintage seamaster, but ended up with a brand new FOIS! It arrived today and I just put it on. Cheers!
Congrats! That's a great choice for a first Omega (and Speedy). Chapeau!

·Did the rules change? I thought we were supposed to buy crappy redials first, then learn lots before getting something nice.

·Congratulations! I bought my first (Speedmaster pro) last Sept and have worn it every day since. Love it more today than when I bought it.
I am sure you will enjoy your watch just as much.
Also learned a lot about watches before and after the purchase from the forum. Hats off to everyone who takes the time to post on the forum to educate and entertain us all!

·Nice! Love this piece and looks especially good on the leather. Itching to get myself a Speedy Pro, but I should stop buying stuff.

·What a cracker for a first Omega. I’ve had my eye on the FOIS for a while but waiting for the AD to open up to try it on in the flesh.

I really like the leather strap look. It's still stiff but will get more comfortable with wear. It's lighter than I expected, so maybe I'll oil it to darken it someday. Besides the bracelet, what straps do you like with it?

I put the Speedmaster Racing rubber strap with a deployant clasp on my FOIS.

·For a change of pace, try an uncle seiko.

I have one of his Beads or Rice and really like it. But I dont think that one comes in 19mm.
The Holzer does and pics of it on the FOIS have been posted in the forum. For the price, the Uncle Seikos are a Home Run!
