    Hi ΩF

    For sale comes what I will shamelessly call the best Flightmaster I've ever had. I think it's fair to call this collector condition.

    You might have noticed several sales lately - I am refocusing my collection and getting back to what I like (and wear) most. Since I cannot only keep buying, I have to unclutter and make some space and budget for my wishlist.

    This set is in an excellent conservation condition, originally delivered to Switzerland - stayed all this time in Switzerland - and I am the third owner of this beauty.

    More information about the watch itself here : https://www.timeline.watch/watch/1969-omega-flightmaster-ref-st-145-013/

    I am uploading high-res photographs, untouched, unbalanced, unedited. If you would like to see anything else, please ask.

    The dial and the bezel are absolutely flawless, please excuse some dust particles on the pictures. The day light today doesn't allow me to show how strong and flashy the colors are. Hour, minute and GMT hands are obviously tritium.

    This picture was made after servicing the movement. Look at this... it's perfect.

    The pushers and crowns are original and in a perfect conservation conditions. The case is sharp and has some (very) minor traces of wear. See the photos, resolution should be good enough to see all the details.

    The crystal is new, was changed during the service, on my request. Obviously replaced with an original part from Omega.

    The 1159/155 bracelet is like new.

    The caseback is clean and the engravings even and visible.

    The movement was serviced by Romain from https://www.atelier-h13.ch in December 2018 is clean like when it left the manufacture 50 years ago and is running perfectly.

    And the set is almost complete : what you see is what you get.

    Two little extras : an original Flightmaster Postcard from 1969 and an original Flightmaster user manual :)

    [​IMG]

    Pros :

    - Almost full set
    - Original box (so hard to find a decent one nowadays !)
    - Extract from the Archives
    - A warranty booklet from 6.70 and plastic red folder
    - Omega hang Tag
    - Flightmaster user manual (added to the set, without increasing the price)
    - Superb 1159 bracelet and superb colors
    - SERVICED (movement only, and crystal replaced) one year ago, good for a while
    - CONDITION (!)

    Cons :

    - The Flightmaster user manual is a later one
    - The booklet and tag are blank (lazy sales guys ::facepalm2::)

    This is what I consider to be a rare opportunity for someone who's looking for this watch in a collector condition set.

    Terms and conditions : 7200 USD wired directly to my bank account for the watch on the original bracelet + Box + everything pictured. FedEx shipping with (third-party) insurance included. Face to face always welcome, I value meeting people.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland, and so I will gladly accept a wire in CHF directly to my Swiss bank account. More currencies available upon request, simply PM me. Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality, unedited and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Since I own the watch I'm selling, feel free to ask for special details or angles you want to see better, prior buying.

    I am a private collector and will set the post OHPF after getting the first PM saying "I will buy this watch now at your price".

    I have dozens of transactions with only positive feedbacks here as well as outside Omega Forums - can link you with several happy buyers worldwide, on request.

    All criticisms about the watch are welcome.

    Thanks ΩF for the space :thumbsup:

    Okay folks I have a Flightmaster manual to complete this set :

    B26BD862-6BD4-4BFB-9FBC-4170DEE80C29.jpeg

    Okay it shows a later calibre 911 watch and was printed in 1972...

    797AA75A-84DA-413E-A967-FEA41A68AD60.jpeg

    but the functions are the same and it is in German so it works with my Flightmaster that was delivered to Switzerland.

    I will add this user Manual to the set, without increasing the price. Those who have been looking for this piece of paper lately know it's worth a couple of hundreds...

    -> Original post updated accordingly.

    I also had a question about the paint on the rotating bezel’s crown. On my original photograph above, the reflection of the window makes the crown look like if the black paint faded or is gone.

    It is perfect. Here’s another shot, without reflections.
