The lume on the dial looks a little too good for a relume.

Does replacing the caseback with Part No. 112ST1450012 help to reduce the overall thickness of the fois?

Thank you Lewis Watch Co for starting this thread. I was inspired to find my way to the hesalite modification for my Omega FOIS and I couldn't be happier.

No, i don't have enough knowledge to do swap myself. But I became convinced it was possible after looking at Lewis Watch Co watches. Eventually I found an Omega watchmaker that had done them here in USA. I posted about it here https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-first-omega-in-space-fois-hesalite-crystal-mod-swap.171567/

I just got the Broad Arrow, and want to do a reverse step - place FOIS hands on the Broad Arrow. Is it possible to source FOIS hands set from Omega? Or brownish lume hands, but narrow ones, like the ones on the Moonwatch?
