Speedmaster - Moon watch or FOIS

[ds666]

Every time I see my mate's Moonwatch I think how good it looks . But doing some searching on them I've come across a FOIS editions .
Any view on these 2 ( and the new non- moon Speedmaster ) ?

Fairly big thread on it a while back. But I had the same dilemma. I went for the Moonwatch in the end. I did really like the FOIS and still would like one, especially without the pusher lugs. But the 19mm lug width and the second hand sort of put me off vs the Moonwatch.

I put them both on the wrist and did prefer the Moonwatch on the day.

2 years ago I went into a dealer to buy a FOIS and came out with a moonwatch. It was the hands that did it for me. Just couldn't read the time in a lot of lighting conditions. My eyes aren't the best but the moonwatch is so much clearer.

Everything else, I preferred the FOIS

I bought a JPS omologato watch based on an advert I saw - can't see the bloody hands on that - they said they would change them to gold ( rather than black ) but never heard from them since .....
