    This is the Omega I am dying for them to re-issue in the same way that they did the Mk2 Speedie - which I have and love. For me the patina just puts me off so I'd love the look with crystal clean new parts and modern internals. Either that or I need one that has just taken a service trip to Switzerland and back....

    Sorry for you but it will never happen, the name Flightmaster doesn’t belong to Omega anymore :p

    Hi Guys

    Well last time I had a 910 flightmaster was 3 homes ago and three states ago.... sold it to a guy in Japan..... got this one for 4x what I sold my other one for....

    It has seen a scotch pad.... movement shinny bright and the caseback has a major scratch but other then that . a nice watch....

    Seriously though it’s hard to find a good 910 Flightmaster now. The most common fault seems to be over polished cases.

    Thanks for sharing, usually those watches have a great history to tell, being used as fine and precise instruments by pilots

    For me the sharp edges and full sunburst effect is a must. It just doesn’t look right without it

    True that ! It doesn’t have to be perfect - perfect is too hard to wear :D

    keeping the cases on these watches sharp and unmolested is an impossible task. I have owned my fair share, and each has had it's unique marks.

    This one is the lone survivor in my collection without any battle scars.
