    Hey - that is an artistic dial (registred trade mark... from now - if it catches on - you read it here first)

    Not your childs water colour painting but something out of a impressionist like Claude Monet.

    Fellow "no dots" first version, reporting in... Alas I think the yellow pushers were replaced with the standard bi-color ones!

    Here is mine! The sub-hand to the right is more faded than the others, possibly more sun-exposed?

    Here's mine. I acquired it with the (IMHO) pretty damn cool flightmaster box. As it depicts the cal 910 I'm not sure that it's original to the watch, but given the choice between the plain red boxes of the period and this one, I know which prefer.

    There's something truly mesmerizing about the colors in the dial on these watches. How do they wear? They seem like they'd wear tall?

    I actually thought your response was an attempt to deflect attention from the fact that you really did have Leonov's Flightmaster. Then I found this high-resolution image and confirmed that Leonov's Flightmaster has a different colour scheme than yours. I am so disappointed.

    I'm a big big fan of the flightmaster as well.
    Given the recent crazy prices of 861 Speedmasters, I think the flightmaster is truly under-valued!!!

    Not as big as they seem. Comfortable for weekend wear.

    The 910 wears very well - snug to the wrist and not at all top heavy. The 911 I do not know first hand but I can imagine it being a little heftier. Look at this picture - the cases are totally different. The height is the same but the 910 has less case and instead a domed crystal.

    Let us get into the small minute differences significant to building hype... ;)

    Let us talk chrono pushers. From what I have seen there are three types - the all yellow, the all red and the red and yellow:

    Mine - all yellow.

    [​IMG]

    All red - pic stolen from net (jds1017 photobucket).

    [​IMG]

    The red and yellow - also stolen (chrono shop net).

    [​IMG]

    The versions with one colour seem to correspond with the watch being of the earliest execution - with dials without dots at 12. Low serials - mine starting with 2913. One can imagine that Omega later decided on having one version of the pushers - fitting both colour chrono hands, thus started with the two colour pushers.

    I have also found information, on a German site, that the service pushers of the two colour version has a larger indention than the originally fitted. Can anyone verify this?

    I have a pair of the single yellow dot pushers but they are not fitted as they were not providing any moisture resistance and so a new set of the two colour pushers are fitted.
    The new 2 colour pushers I have look more like they are enamel filled and its almost flush with the metal. I think the older original ones were just painted inside the recess?
