I’m guessing that there would only be a very limited market for it, possibly similar to that for the current stainless 321, but I would be interested if one was made. I’m sure that this would ‘just’ involve re casing the current 321 into the Snoopy 3 case so shouldn’t be too difficult or costly, but I doubt Omega will ever do this. |

That’s a possibility, but I doubt that there would be much of a market for such a model. After all, the only visible differences between it and a current moonwatch would be a different bracelet.

I think there would be as much of a market as there is for the E/W - in fact maybe more as the professional case is usually more popular than the straight lugged ones. I think it’s a natural next step for a steel 321 in the pro case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

EW is not actually fauxtina - the original 105.003 from factory already had lume markers that were more yellow, which the modern EW has recreated.

The Ed White lume is more off white, which is isn’t far off the original. The new FOIS lume is practically brown. I still love the watch, but mostly the dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The same way the new FOIS is made to look like an older example with tinted lume, it's just much darker and one could argue works better with the sunburst blue/gray dial. I get that it's not for everyone. Why can't we just enjoy these for what they are instead of bashing the aesthetic. And that includes the BB58 (as a given example), or the JLC Geophysic, or the Hamilton Khaki, or yes, even the Ed White. Everybody has their preference and it's all just watches and a choice. I think the Ed White is fantastic, but the straight lug case doesn't work for me. But I appreciate it for what it is, the same for the FOIS. |

This one is quickly growing on me. Haven't seen much talk of the thickness. It appears to be similar to a sub. Can you post some pics looking down the wrist to show the height? I assume, like most Speedys, that the majority of the thickness is above the mid case.

I don't like fauxtina but could make an exception here, might not be as much of a deal breaker I thought it'd be. I like this FOIS in pictures, very curious to see it IRL at the OB.

Another one for good measure. It’s not thick. The domed crystal has height to it though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The difference for me is the burnt orange actually looks nice against the blue dial. It’s not a watch that has faux ageing that then makes it look crap. I think the watch looks more vintage on the strap. On the bracelet it will look like a modern watch to 99% of the population. I would encourage everyone with a faux whatever complex to just try the watch out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
