··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...The biggest widing issue with the original FOIS was that the crown is skinnier than on original straight lug Models. They remedied this on the New Ed White and also FOIS2. Personally I can't really tell the difference in feel between 321, 1861 and 3861 but do note that the 3313 auto movement used in the Broad Arrow Speedies feels butter smooth in comparison.

·Question about new vs old-style end-links…
On the old no. 6/506/516 end-links, two little tabs on the back prevent the end-link from rotating forward. What prevents this on the new style flat-style bracelet link, as I see no tabs in any pictures. Thanks.

·original 321 has a breguet bluesteel hairspring, which is very durable and accurate, but very expensive to use. When the succeeding speedmaster 861 was introduced with another type of replacement hairspring (along with other parts), it was way cheaper but omega's plan was to sell more speedys. The new321 did not specify the type of hairspring. But if it's the same, then either is superior version.

·Thanks. So, I believe that preemptively answers my question regarding whether this bracelet can be retrofitted to an older Ed White case. No…
