Yes that is the purple gel that omega used to protect the cases in transport. Very nice find and as close to NOS as it gets!

·145.036 came with a radial and circular finish. I am not sure if it was a different case manufacturer or just a change in method of finish. I have not been lucky enough to get a circular finished version.

·I think early flightmaster with cal. 911 had sun brush and late versions circa 1974 or 1975 had circular brush. 35M serial number was made during these years.

No thats not correct, I have owned 145.036 with 35,xxx,xxx with radial brush finish.
Delron brake and silver cogs in the movement
edit: I guess this would be addressed in the book, anyone care to enlighten us?

Hi, I am a bit confused. At least the lume dots at 3,6,9 are missing. When the watch never has been opened, where are they ? I would not feel good with this issue.
best luck 👍

Did you consider to buy Flightmaster Only, the book about this watch ? You will find a lot of information in there, a must have if you like this reference 😉
