Nice.
I believe you snapped that up whilst I was busy asking the owner questions.
Good to see it here and congrats Chris.
DIBS!!

I bunged in a offer... and only afterwards thought “I wonder if I’ve just done something really stupid”. 😉

Thanks - DIBS noted!

Ooh nice an offer!
I was waiting for photos and info.
Then said I'd have it off him if it checked out following photos.
But he took your offer before he read my second email.
Thanks for acknowledging the DIBS!
He who dares 😀

Thankfully it was a lot better than the pictures... I was starting to think I'd never own one of these, having missed out on 15 so far in 2017!

Now I know why you rolled the dice! I don't feel so bad now as that was the first one I've missed out on having recently decided I MUST have one.
Hopefully that was the best of the 15 and surely a bargain to boot.
Let's hope I don't miss out on 14 more.
To be honest I find it hard to judge the condition of these, especially the cases from photos.
Look fwd to seeing it in metal...looks like I have extra motivation to sign up for the next TFAP

Beautiful pickup Chris. Amazing dial. This one will be cracking after a service. 🥰

Could you add me to the dibs list?

The 910 is my favorite reference, conforms to the wrist very nicely. These are really under appreciated at the moment but nonetheless have a cult following.

Enjoy your acquisition, I love wearing mine.

My Flighty is back from service! A friend of mine in town did it for me. He graduated from the Watch Technology Institute in North Seattle some years ago. He mainly works on Rolexes but after my last Flightmaster experience with Omega he offered to tackle it himself. Look how sharp the case is I do believe it’s the original finish! 😁
