    I prefer the aesthetics of the Moonwatch, but the First Omega in Space is slimmer and I have a smaller wrist. I'd love to get one, but it's a tough choice.

    This was very helpful for me, the Bergeon is on the way, but a newer version. I was struggling like heck to remove a bracelet today, and in desperation and panic mode, I came across your video. I found an included freebie in my drawer that worked better than the other freebies, it just didn't occur to me that the tools differ.

    That’s a lovely Professional you have there and a great watch with which to compare the FOiS, which commemorates another important milestone for these moon- and space-related Speedmasters. I didn’t like the standard leather strap as supplied on the FOiS, so would go with the recent reissue of the old S/S mesh JB Champion/Forster Komfit, which I think gives the whole a very nice, early aesthetic. The original was NASA-approved for space flight too. Your review was also very well presented and easy on the ear, so I’ve hit all the appropriate buttons. Thanks.

I have been wearing my Navitimer on a daily basis since purchasing it in 1966, following your mention about the radioactive material used on the face I did a quick check and I have not grown a second head as far as I can see, I am now 75 do you think I should be taking any precautions ?

    That Omega you refer to is caliber 2500, a deep modification of 2892-2. But Omega since several years ago produces the 8500 and 9300 series, which are not a modification of another caliber.

    I like to wear slightly undersized natos on watches with 20 or 22mm lug widths. So an 18mm strap on a 20mm or a 20mm on a 22mm lug. have a 6.5” wrist. I feel the narrower strap makes the watch look like it fits better. People don’t like that Connery “Bond fit” but I like it.

    Good insight, appreciate the information. Hmmh🤔..same engine, different coach-work! Histories aside, the FOIS has the correct aesthetic, fit and finish - not to mention complements contents of my wardrobe by offering sartorial congruence ... matches collar and cuff-links! Take a pick, both work best with straps, the bracelets naff, unless you opt for the new 3861 variant bracelet on sapphire option - that's hot!
