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

It is time for this iconic watch to have its own thread. Post your Flightmasters and then we will dicuss minute differences in dial versions until we create a bubble. Then we all sell our Flightys, cash in - and sit in the galleria in Milano drinking grappa until we fall over...

I bought mine from the original owners son. First version "no dots dial, all yellow pushers" and the corresponding bracelet. I expect this in the long run - and if the right sites give the Flightmaster some attention - to give me at least three months of grappa, cigars and immoral living when retired.





Movement before service



Used it on a mesh for a while.



Correct early 1159 bracelet and 155 endpieces:

And cought from behind



He has probably never had grappa but I guess he is no stranger to vodka.



This is the box the family swore it came in. First owners wife bought the watch for her husband - for his 40: th birthday. He was a medical doctor that dreamt of being a pilot and became one. He changed his career and flew professionally.







Milano here I come!
