FOIS has arrived!

FedEx delivered on time. Lots of photos have been posted with lots of info. I hope to impart something different.

First, here's the commemorative box:



Then opened with plastic in place:



And the commemorative plate:



The case back:



Now some points of interest (at least to me) . . .

Mine is numbered 16## which makes me wonder if Omega started with 0001. Somehow I doubt that 1600+ have been produced.

More importantly, I put my micrometer to the FOIS and found that the diameter of the caseback and bezel are the same as the standard Speedy Pro. The sapphire "halo" makes it difficult to accurately measure the diameter of the dial but the measurements from the outside end of the 9:00 marker to the outside end of the 3:00 marker appear to be the same. That makes me think the dial of FOIS would fit the standard Speedy Pro.

And lastly, I want to thank my longtime FD for his persistence. He came through again as usual.
