    Hi guys!

    Omega has rebuild the Speedmaster ST 105.003 for the movie "First Man" with Ryan Gosling:

    I absolutely love this model and wondering if Omega may bring it for Basel 2019? What are your thoughts?

    The swatchgroup incl. Omega won't participate in Baselworld 2019. Instead they will do a retailers only event in Zurich.

    Thinks!

    Otherwiese would it be possible to change the handset on FOIS? Where could I get such handset? Do you think an OB would make such a modification upon request?

    Sure you can. Early cal.321 service hands. But you can do 1 better and really clone a 2998 in almost all areas (not just case and hour/minute hands)... like this guy ... and that would also involve removing the sapphire crystal and replacing it with hesalite.

    What can be done with a FOIS ...

    EBAY, any watchmaker with an Omega parts account. But more importantly is the dial. I suggest you do your homework on these...what might work is the dial for the 'replica' speedmaster.

    Absolutely not. But, any competent watchmaker could do this. And if you would like to add a bit more charm, you could send the hands and dial to someone like James Hyman for a vintage relume. Depending on where you are, there may be someone more suitable.

    Converting sapphire to hesalite is not cheap.
