··YaY!Those flightmasters are funky. Very interesting, do you mind if I ask the dimensions, case size lug to lug etc
Hi, the cal 910 FMs are 43 x 52 x ~15mm with the cal 911 being at least 1mm thicker. Here it is next to my 42mm Moonwatch. The pilot case with hooded lugs has a lot of steel making it a 139g head vs the Speedy's 97g. 46% heavier! The odd thing is the FM's dial is a bit smaller. And if you disregard the contrasting white racing chapter ring, the remaining part of the dial is REALLY smaller. The hands are correspondingly shorter too. So it feels big and chucky on the wrist but the time telling part of the watch is visually smaller. Despite the busy dial, the all-white hands preserve excellent at-a-glance legibility, imo. I personally luv the watch’s character and it's become one of the anchors of my collection…YaY!
