Flightmaster MK 1 looking how it should again.

The Toyman · Nov 20, 2020

I recently posted pictures showing the bezel on my Flightmaster MK 1.
The old rubber seal had degraded to the point of no return and wrecked the old one.
I sourced a NOS one from Germany and now it's been fitted and the case taken from a high polish ::facepalm1::

back to a brushed finish 🥰.
Now because of my large wrist I just need a couple of extra links.....can anyone help? Thanks.

The radial brushing on those were so fine that 40 years of wear made them look shiny (but looking very closely one coukd still see factory original brushing present)...or at least that’s the in-hand experience I had as an owner 👍

That makes sense but this one had been deliberately polished and the sides left brushed. It looks so much better now.
