I tried on the FOIS as well as the Moonwatch. It is also lovely, and the 3mm size difference wasn't that noticeable either way.

If that's the original than that's the one I want. Manual wind, no sapphire crystal.neil8fletcher3 wrote:For me i think the size would be a better fit but I want to try this on first to make sure

That's the one...42mm manual wind, domed Hesalite crystal as you see.

The moonwatch and FOIS are very similar on the wrist. If you shave the crown (and pusher) guard off the moonwatch case so it matches the left side, that's what it's like - most of the watch is still the same. AFAIK they use the same bezel, dial and crystal, but the lug changes mean it has a 19mm lug width in place of the moonwatch's 20. One thing I dislike about Omega (shock, horror!) is that they use 1mm increments in lug width rather than 2mm, so it's not uncommon to find 19 and 21mm lug sizes.neil8fletcher3 wrote:For me i think the size would be a better fit but I want to try this on first to make sure

Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
I was looking at the FOIS as it's just a little bit different to the Moonwatch but tried a Hesalite on and it fits really well and doesn't look large and normally I prefer smaller watches (38mm C60 600 for example).neil8fletcher3 wrote:For me i think the size would be a better fit but I want to try this on first to make sure

I wish I could find a reasonably local AD with all 3 in as I'm 1 of those that has to compare and not just buy on the specifications or just seeing 1 of 3.
Maybe I'll call Omega London West End or Royal Exchange shops.
Re: The "what watch are you day dreaming about now" thread
If they'll do it at pre-increase price or a bit less then it might be worth buying it to get full Omega warranty.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:Sapphire wouldn't be a deal breaker but I prefer Hesalite and that is what they have in stock.

Already done it. Generous trade in for an old piece of Quartz cr@p with no battery, plus I got a free winder.
And yes, I could have got it cheaper going grey. But as you say, I got the proper warranty and the champagne.
