A bit of a cheer up after my troubles with the watch cleaning machine, I got the call on an Ed White! I dropped everything and headed to my boutique and picked it up.

Straps on the First Omega In Space

Hi. I am thinking of getting the FOIS but I have reservations on the difficulty in obtaining alternative 19mm leather straps.

(1) where did you get your leather or rubber straps for the FOIS?

Hello friends,

I recently acquired this 2531.80 from a friend, who bought it pre-owned in 2022 from a well-known jewelry store in my country, with their certificate of authenticity.
