OMG, those pushers are almost pornographic

Are you sure your interest in watches is healthy? 馃榾

Today I went to my OB to see the new FOIS. Unfortunately they didn't have them yet. While we kept talking the UPS driver arrived with two packages and yes the new FOIS was in there!



And not like with the white Speedmaster or the Ed White this one had apparently my name on it 馃榾

... if I just had the budget I would buy them both 馃檮
I'm tapped out buying watches for now, I've gotten the white one, a hesalite and a NTTD seamaster since June... Congrats, that looks fantastic.

Congratulations! That is a great looking watch. 馃憤

Any one of the three would have been a worthwhile pick up.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing. This watch is sooooooooo good looking. And that dial: OMG! There's no other watch brand that knows how to play with the light. From blue-black to grey... just wow! I guess I know what I have to do now.

Congrats on the pickup! It looks great.

I wonder how Omega's business is doing this year. The white enamel dial speedy seems to be very popular and this new FOIS appears to be getting positive reactions too.

I'm impressed that Omega kept the same brushing and lug profile as the original.



Plus, none of the extra "official chronometer" etc crap on the dial.

There isn't any 'Master Chronometer' writing on the back, either. This might be the first Omega not to have that designation on the dial or case.
