·To Whom it May Concern-
I am hereby embarking upon a probably impossible mission. That is, locating my Omega Flightmaster watch. It was stolen from my bedside table in Mesa, AZ around Spring of 2017. I was a 70 year old widower with no real family, had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and became homeless soon after. My life was in total chaos. So much so that I didn't even report the theft to the police. Miraculusly, my cancer is in remission, I am now living in Oklahoma in Elder housing among my Tribal peers. I am now seeking suggestions on a course of action. Here are the facts..
1) I purchased the watch from a jeweler in Scottsdale, AZ who sold Omegas in the early to mid-1970s. Ì have no memory of the business name. 2) Over the years I had to have major repairs done at the Omega factory when it was run over by cars after 2 M/C wrecks. 3) I think I had the lens replaced once at the factory. 4) I replaced the watchband with a Rolex band in the late '90s. As I recall I had to enlarge the watch pin holes because Rolex band pins have a larger diameter. 5) When the watch was stolen it was missing the right lower knob, the reason I was not wearing it.
Therefore, the last time I saw it, I can describe it as follows:
An Omega Flightmaster with a case machined out for a Rolex band and showing signs of being worn every day for about 45 tears by a welder/machinist who rode his Harley nearly every day.
Should you see such a watch, or have suggestions as to how to proceed, please respond. I feel incomplete without it. Thank you.
