The Watch Thread - Part 14

Question for you guys - Speedy Pro or Speedmaster FOIS - and why?

I actually prefer the size and proportions of the FOIS, and as much as the hands have been criticised I do like that the time set is different from the chronograph set.

Call me a boring purist but the vanilla Speedy Pro (hesalite) still appeals to me the most. I like its iconic and timeless design, and its versatility (in terms of straps and complementing different outfits) is just in a league on its own.

The FOIS is more dressy, and it doesn't have hesalite (which has a unique warmth), and personally I think it would look a bit out of place on a strap like this:

The Speedy Pro on the other hand, you can see it from the most dressy strap to the most rugged one. Still looks darn good. Just my 2 cents!

Thanks, very valid points and yes, the Speedy Pro is definitely more versatile.

Will continue to think about it.
