I can confirm that

 

It's #flightyfriday ! And the best of it is that the weekend is almost here



Got to love the yellow professional hands, they contrast very well with the box

 

You just have to love that package @kov
Where on earth do you find something like that!

 

I am so envious on all the beautiful watches in this thread...

 

...community service at his local old age homes...'would you like a back-rub with that, ma'am'......

 

There are things I am not ready to do, even for a Flightmasters with professional hands

 

Tell us when you work out what those things are!

 

Fellow Flightmaster owners. Do any of you have GMT hand creep? And experts is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!

 

Got my 145.026 back from service today ! Finally, it’s been a long separation

 

Looks great! super sharp case.

 

My baby... was excited, as I thought I’d bagged the matching Flightmaster square box on eBay this weekend until it turned out to be a South America scam...

 

I never saw all yellow pushers?! Thats something new for me. I thought they are always half/half?

 

Very early Flightmasters had these. All yellow or all red - depending on chrono hands colours. Later Omega probably saw the opportunity to rationalize production and aftermarket service by colour coding them for both - "half and half".

 

Does that mean half and half pushers are service pushers? @styggpyggeno1

 

Nope. After the first series - Flightmaster: s got them from the factory. But for sure many of the early ones have got their "one colour" buttons substituted at service. I believe - but can not be certain or prove - that watches with "no dots" dials had one colour buttons.

 

@styggpyggeno1
My first series has the 2 colour pushers.
Paint mostly rubbed off.
Watch and dial in very good condition.
I assumed the pushers would have been original.
Thanks

 

My understanding is that the solid-dot pushers were phased out after 1969, but that leftovers continued to be installed on new 910s and 911s depending on where they were assembled. Omega even used some of the original 145.013 cases on the first batches of 911s.
