This is the second one I caught this week. A little dirty, some original parts missing but I am sure this will come out fine. Very happy, because this one was on the list for a long time.

kind regards Max

Nice catch Max, how much bait did you have to spend? If I may ask.

Thank you, since it was a package of three watches its hard to say, but we both left the Cafe with the feeling we made a fair deal,

kind regards Max

Congrats great piece. Many think that the 70s were the worst period of the watch industry, but to me, it was one of the more fun and full of new ideas, and experimentation. This kind of watch is, for me, more emotional than always the same date just changing the dial color every year or two.

Lovely watch. I have such a weakness for alarm watches and this one also has a date which is doubly good. When I was younger, I despised 1970s styling, but now I can appreciate the design of the watch for what it is. I wish I had bought one a while ago now.

Lovely watches these!

Are the dimensions of the case identical to the Flightmasters?

Thanks.
No. Even the flightmaster had (at least two) different cases. The style is very similar though (obviously).

UV-Shot, obviously two lume segments missing, but to me these imperfections add charme to a vintage watch.

kind regards Max
