    Trying to refocus my collection and this one just isn't getting the wrist time it once did so have made the decision to list to for sale.

    I purchased this flightmaster in January 2015 from a privateer collector/trader, as a bit of an impulse as I loved the quirky look of the flightmaster I still love its looks and it always gets admiring comments. I also loved that it had the yellow sweeping and sub hands rather than the more common red/orange ones.

    ++I have since been advised that these could perhaps more likely be oranges hands fading towards cream to look more yellow++ either way I find the overall appearance of the dial and hands attractive.

    This watch is sold watch and bracelet only, although there is a receipt for a service dated as Feb 2014 which will be included. This service also replaced the pushers.

    Condition is generally good with the usual patina to case and bracelet for a watch that is 40+ years old.
    Of course its not a mint collectors condition piece rather a good honest example.
    Case is a little soft from presumably from past polishing but I decided to not have this further polished/re-profiled and remove yet more material.
    There is also what can perhaps best be described as a 'scuff/flat spot' on the case near the 5 hour marker and this is shown on the pictures below. (It was caused by catching the case on my desk, as it sits quite high of the wrist)

    Although it's 4 years since service it's running well and keeping good time.

    Serial No. 39930XXX
    Which I believe dates it to approx 1978-79 (though have seen others describe this serial range as early 70's)
