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 the new one in a heartbeat, so beautiful!
I quite understand.
It’s nice to add to our collections but our established pieces have the stories of our lives to tell.
With that in mind I have an incoming watch that will be worn during a special occasion this year 😉.

Thanks!
Still amazes me that you can walk into an AD and pick up these watches without the drama associated with other brands.
Faux patina, meet . . .
. . . your grandfather.
Ca '43 ref 2242, issued with the uncommon 18 jewel variant of cal 30T2SC; on my wrist the last four days.
Patina is to vintage guys what foam is to beer drinkers.
Those are great
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.
Right now the FOIS is ahead.
But the ‘57 works better on a strap I think. I purchased it on the bracelet but swapped out for a strap. This way I have two watches that look quite different on - depending on the mood.
