A few of you might have spotted this 145.036 on ebay... terrible photos, awful description, optimistic pricing, listed at a pawnbrokers in the North of England.

Some long negotiations, and some marginally better iPhone pictures later... and it’s mine.

Stunned by what showed up...

 

I really like it when that happens. That is superb.

 

Excellent! Beautiful piece.

 

Congrats Chris

Note to myself : make shitty photographs to attract solid buyers

 

That’s awesome; almost as good as new

Cheers Alexis!

It was not a fun negotiation experience... lots of "we've seen them for sale at £6000, so this one is a bargain at £5500", and "it's a collectors item, we've not moving on price" - followed nearly a month later by "we're interested in moving this along, at a fair price".

 

I'm stopping at three - just wanted one each of 145.013, 145.026, and 145.036

 

Nice snag...really nice snag.

 

*Cough* Four *Cough*

 

Ollie, you shouldn't have! Thanks mate!

 

If I can get a pair for the price of a SS one you can have one. Promise.

Another epic Flightmaster mate, congrats!

 

Unbelievable. Didn’t even know they made it in gold!

 

They didn’t make many, and when they come up for sale... $$$$$$$$$

 

Very nice example there!

 

Jeeez man. Heard about them but never seen one in the flesh. Wow

 

You could shave with those.

 

Very nice pickup! Well done

Please spoil us with a group shot with your other flighty's

 

Very nice! the first pic presents a super crisp and clean dial congrats and enjoy!
