interesting stuff. kind regards. achim

 

Shhhh...

 

Phew...........bidding on one of them ramped up pretty fast!

 

rather strange all super low cheap vintage history and then all of a sudden all this?

 

Probably got lucky with some estate/barn find? The bezel look too new on the speedy of interest.

 

If bid & win, be prepared to take a flight down there to pay cash and collect in person...

 

There are 3 watches from Peru described as FAP on ebay. What is this one please? I can't find an image or description of a 2990 that looks like it anywhere.

As an ex-peru buyer on EBay, I won't bid again. Suspicious at least...

 

the dress watch/ranchero model was not issued to the FAP. maybe a private watch dressed up or the former owner`s name was Franzisco Antonio Peruglia......
Flightmaster/railmaster and speedy = yes for Omegas. but maybe an excerpt from the archives sheds light into history...... kind regards. acxhim

 

Hi Achim, I have the same fap type case and movement - it is not Filipin Air Phorse?


tamura

 

Would you bet on this one ?

 

The seller !

 

Low ish feedback from low value items - I would be very wary, especially has he has listed 3 high value watches all at the same time. A serious seller might sell them one at a time so buyers can view the successful feedback on a high value item. Dodgy imho.

 

Interesting that the same photo was used for the "flightmaster" in December 2012...

So I still affirm "As an ex-peru buyer on EBay, I won't bid again. Suspicious at least..."

 

Phew! You saved me on that one. No longer bidding.
