I have an omega flightmaster, trying to find out what model i have, it has yellow hands, and has the 24 hour dial at the 9 o'clock postion, i've had it since 1971 last quarter or 1972 1st quarter, is when i think i bought it
let me know what else i need to find out in order to determine what model i have

 

A picture....!

 

Pics would help!

 

I would say that is an earlier ST 145.013 with Caliber 910. Here is article from Chuck Maddox about that watch.

The clue is 24 hour 9'oclock subdial.
....and other is right. Pictures please...........

 

My internet rule: no pictures = no help.

 

Geez, youse a tuf guy!!

 

Yes 24-hour register at "9" (half green) should be 145.013 cal. 910.

I believe the going theory is that yellow hands instead of orange were a "cockpit" option as they would ostensibly be visible in red nighttime light.
Best,
T.

 

Thanks everybody, will post some pic soon, hopefully can figure out the best way...

Open a photobucket account!

 

You don't even need that. Just click on the picture of the camera at the left of POST REPLY and you can upload directly from your computer.

 

Even better

 

ok, heres a pic I took

 

ok, another you can see its does run, by the yellow sec hand moving.....please let me know, and your thoughts, havent worn the watch for 20 years

 

Yes it is ST 145.013 Cal 910. The dial has rather nice chocolate patina. My suggestion: don't run it again until you service it properly. Dry lubricant, gunk, dirt etc might ruin your movement if you force it to work. Find decent watchmaker nearby. Members in here could suggest one near your place. Or you can send to Al Archer or Steve @N2HFL.

 

whats a good way to find out its approximate value??????, who should i seek out.

 

I usually check eBay for sold items with bids on them. Sold items without a bid history are not a good indicator.

Seems they range from $1,900 USD to $3,000 USD depending on condition, originality, and accompanying boxes/papers.

 

Also check some of the specialist auction houses past sales results such as Watches of Kinghtsbridge but bear in mind that there is usually a buyer's premium of about 18 to 20% to factor into the value. Some houses just record the hammer price in their results and some add the premium.

 

time and Stewart
Thanks i'll look into those, i need to fine my original watch band , dont know if i still have in a box somewhere, or might of got thrown out years ago, because it kept breaking on me and watch would fall off my wrist, ( i know if we humans could only look into the future huh!).. If i cant fine it, is there a place that one can go and get an idea what a replacement might cost
