Considering a Flightmaster...

The FM is on my wish list for a ling time. I bought a Mark III not to long ago and to be honest I kinda dig that huge case it has and I know the FM is even slimmer. There are many butchered/franken examples though it is hard to pick the right one for the right money. Good luck with the hunt though...

if you have patience that is all you need. there are numerous sources when it comes to vintage omega (wus-omega forum being one in particular, I mean the old threads) all you need to do is read read and read.and ask questions preferably here 😀 having said that I wouldn't mind a hamilton chrono-matic or a panda in the watch box

Flightmasters used to be large watches but after the increase in girth of newer watches they seem almost ordinary in dimension.
I have two now, first and second versions. I think the dials age in numerous ways and replaced pushers don't bother me much. I focus on the case not being overly polished and the service history or lack. These are not inexpensive to service so factor in at least a service check up for seals and oils to be safe. Last full service I had on mine two years ago from my current watchmaker was about $600. U.S. Good luck with the hunt.

Whats not to like 😁 ? I have 17,5cm around my arms and this sits great on the wrist. It's flat underneath which make things easier 😀
