@tyrantlizardrex your right 馃憤 its actually not any jet it was a registered Omega Logo.
There was something several years ago somewhere about the issues with having to drop the flightmaster name due to trademark. But the Logo was OK.
Was someone talking about why they don鈥檛 make a reissue
( too busy for that rabbit hole search )
Don鈥檛 Seiko own the name now?
Will Omega replace a dial with a non Tritium dial if a flightmaster is sent in for a full overhaul/restoration? Or can it be noted to leave the dial and the hands original?!
A dial is a pretty expensive part (looking at the STS quote for the restoration they鈥檒l be undertaking for me) - I can鈥檛 see why omega would change a dial unless you asked them to?
If in doubt though, you can specify that you do not want certain things done - no case work, no replacement cosmetic parts, etc.
Where in the world are you based? There might be better options than Omega.
I'm between Croatia and Germany. I'm just weighing my options regarding this watch, its the 145.026 that had a rough rough rough life, i was thinking about making a thread about the watch and its journey. Lets just say that the glass is held in by hot glue...
Could you PM me some of the part prices if you can. Thanks
Would be great to see a thread if you're happy to share!
The dial works out to about 拢250 including VAT... so not crazy, but also not a part you'd expect to be changed without them asking you first.
Hey guys. Thought you might like to see a restoration we just did on an older Flightmaster we did last month. Dial and hands are untouched. Enjoy!
That is only the case if you have a very inexperienced person behind the lapping machine. I have seen that alot and I have fixed many throughout the years.
S SolominiI鈥檒l bet you have. Do you have a watch repair facility? I鈥檓 in need of a good, passionate watchmaker.
