Enjoying the fauxtina on the FOIS
Almost as much as the ‘57. Happy Speedy Tuesday! ...
fois is so good
noice fois ! I have the 2012 FOiS. It is a very dear watch to me in many ways: my first mechanical watch, worn when I got engaged, and worn during my daughter's birth. For obvious reasons, I will be keeping it. Sentimentality aside, I would trade it for t...

Which one do you think will end up getting more wrist time? I own that exact speedy 57, and I placed an order for the FOIS. Wondering which one I will end up wearing more after the FOIS honeymoon.
