I have been looking for a Flightmaster to match my Memomatic
I have the opportunity to buy the one pictured below
Seller has no movement pictures, but says he bought it from the origfinal owner-so beside that
I am asking for opinions on whether to buy or pass
He says it is all original and it has not been recently serviced.
Says it is running + keeping good time
There is no paint on any of the 4 pushers
I believe the band is original 1162/172 with plenty of links
My issue is the spotting on the dial on /near the indices making them look wavy-see pictures
He says it has not been re lumed
Case back looks good
I am concerned about the dial
Not sure if the crystal has the Omega symbol
Price is negotiable as of now
So opinions, please-buy or pass??
Thanks, I appreciate the help

 

Looking for a few other eyes on this dial and its indices
Buy or pass-opinions appreciated-thanks

 

I have a flightmaster with similar problems on the indices. I've always assumed it was resumed at some time in the past, but poorly. I suspect the same here, no matter the seller's claims, since he is not the original owner. But, maybe there was a problem with some of these dials and the lume bled. Don't know. I find it's hardly noticeable unless you are looking closely. I frankly didn't even notice it until after I bought the watch.

These have a mineral crystal, so no Omega symbol. The paint tends to fall out of the pushers. You can still get replacements. I had mine replaced during the last service.

Other than the lume-bleed, it appears to be in good condition. But you'll want to assume the cost of a service (~$800 or so), so take that into account in the negotiations.

 

Thanks so much for the reply
The lume bleed or waviness in the indices was enough to make me decide to pass
