    I'm not sure you know what you are talking about here, the FAP Flightmaster's are rare Mil watches, basically a re-badged Railmaster.

    from what I've found, this version of the flightmaster usually fetches upwards of $20K. will be interesting to watch this one.

    They are also faked a lot, taking a rail-master case and redialing. Do your homework before buying. I don't think anyone knows how many of these were produced, but it was probably not more than a few hundred (i.e. Much less than the Royal Navy Seamaster 300s), so they are quite rare.

    This is one you really want Achim @watchyouwant to have a look at as he's had a few examples of this Flightmaster / Railmaster military piece in the past and knows them quite well.

    I´ve seen a few sell over the years and IIRC they ´normally´ have sold for 2 or 3 times the price of a 2914, this appears a nice one so EUR 22K seems about right taking the last 18 months of watch inflation into account.
