My numbered FOIS is no more!
It is now a FSIS (First Speedmaster in Space), #1/1, a Sigma 7 commemorative.Some of you recall my project about 10 years ago to build a Speedmaster like the one worn by Wally Schirra on his October 3, 1962 Mercury flight. Circumstances did not permit completion of the project but I kept the case back I had fabricated at the time:It sat in a drawer awaiting a final polish if an opportunity ever arose to use it. When Omega introduced the FOIS at Basel, I suspected the opportunity just might happen. On the day of introduction, I called Jim at Continental and placed my order.I must admit that the OEM FOIS case back was a disappointment, my only disappointment with Omega's effort. I patiently waited as long as I could (didn't want to risk my warranty) but I recently took the ∑7 to my local watchmaker (Gary at Wilson Watch Company) for him to do the final polishing.So without further ado:What do you think?

New watch accuraccy.
Just got a hardly used 2254.50 and did a 24 hour time check. Only lost 1 to 2 seconds. I'd say that is pretty good for an auto!!!

Ref. number bracelet
Does the bracelet of this seamaster (pic form another thread):fits on the Co-axial seamaster:????If so, can someone tell me the ref.number of the bracelet.

5131R & 5575G Photoshoot
Recently had a get together over coffee with a fellow Patek owner. Took a few pictures of his 5131R and 5575G alongside my own 5131R.Quite astounding how different the 5131R's are from each other. Mine is a 2015 model and his a 2016 version so the city rings differ.Aside from the actual words and the huge variation in the cloisonn�� enamel itself there are also quite a few other differences - care to play spot the differences?
