I wonder what the thoughts are on this compared to the 2998, which is my other consideration? What will be a reasonable price on a new piece?

No thoughts on this vs 2998 as I'm not familiar with it, but I've recently put my FOIS on a bracelet, and I'm loving it. I had some good straps, but I struggled with finding the perfect strap. I don't see myself taking this one off:
How do people get on with the manual winding, I've always liked the FOIS but keep getting put off with the manual winding?

My bracelet is a bit of a mashup. I bought it from a kind gentleman at the Omega forums. It's a Titus band with an Omega clasp grafted on. I would love a proper Omega one, but I've not as yet been able to find one, and this was a fraction of the price. I did have it on a Geckota brown rally strap similar to the one @wadsy has which was probably my fave. For some reason I don't care for the standard strap.
The Aqua Terra 19mm bracelet also fits the FOIS and CK2998. Although I prefer the Speedmaster racing bracelet

The FOIS with the Aqua Terra 19mm bracelet looks awesome! Its great idea and great news! May I know the reference number of that bracelet? Or the reference number of the Aqua Terra that you took the bracelet from? Thanks a lot! By thy way, is there any modification needed for fitting this bracelet onto FOIS? Thanks again.
I am quite please with my customised 3594.
All the loveliness of the Speedie Pro bombe lugs, a proper old-stlyle applied logo dial and ultra visible broad arrow hands, due to the customised element, getting James to paint all the hands white.
Just a possible alternative....
