    Dear members,

    I now have the flightmaster to go with the Speedmaster and Seamaster. There are more masters to be had, but I am good for now.

    I bought the flightmaster with some guidance from a few of our OF members. It’s not perfect but it runs perfectly. And when I saw it in person, oh my… it’s a beauty.

    I will set it aside for a couple months to save up for a perfect service. I have used up my entire watch fund for this one, so I may never get the other masters. 07ADB13D-2411-42CD-80A1-F3117864F240.jpeg E8ADC134-35AF-4A1A-8863-961B4D9C3EC0.jpeg 37756C88-6987-469C-93B9-0152B55E4B90.jpeg 4BFA8037-B799-452B-BF6E-14B1AE7248B8.jpeg

    There was a slight problem when I picked it up. The clasp needed to be “let out” a few holes. My wife wore it all afternoon… but I got it back! 4EEAB331-2DC4-40A6-BDAF-E6EED2C552C3.jpeg 868A9EF4-73E9-407F-AF00-B21593B354FC.jpeg And now with the clasp properly adjusted… 376B6C04-645B-4C10-81FD-A87A0B36CAF7.jpeg I may not need that barbell anymore…. Seriously, it fits very well and is lighter than it looks. D18ADF67-9DDE-42A1-808F-2C0174506BF1.jpeg The case has dings and scratches, but still has the sunburst lines.

    I love it.

    Congratulations on your Master:thumbsup:
    I have a watch that looks to be a close relative, by looking at the dials.
    Do you know the serial?

    Mine says hi and congrats

    Wow that thing is huge! As a kid in New Brunswick (Canada) we lived only a few miles from the border with Maine. Loring Air Force base was nearby. Huge planes flew above constantly. They had 4 engines under each wing (if I recall). We called them B-52s. (??). But your C17 looks even bigger.
