Just for the pleasure to share some new shots of my "Friendship Flightmaster" 910...
... Hello dear friends! The story of this watch has been told in a couple of posts before, one penned by Art and another by me. In few words I owe the joy of having this wonderful watch in my collection to our dear Dr. No. Art found it in Germany in NOS c...
Looks very appealing in warm light , sunlight and cold light
A FM-watch in fantastic shape! Nicely captured on pictures as always.
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear Moritz! I love the color of subdials and they can be better appreciated with sun light. This is a most charming detail provoked by...
... pass of time. Glad you liked it!! Cheers! Abel.
Thank you for sharing
Great story and action. I was looking at my seamaster, how nice the light falls on the watch. A true jewel. The flightmaster is a tue vintage watch, and i see it not often. Have much wear fun. The watch is at a location of a watch expert.
Thank you Captain!! Agree with you: sub dials turned a lovely chocolate color which make a nice contrast with the green half of the AM/PM sub dial.
The original soleil polish of these FM cases is impresive and not easy to find in a completely unpolished condition in most examples surviving today. It is a great watch for sure and feel very lucky to own it. All merits belong to Art on this piece. Best,...
If only a camera crew had been there to record that crazy week . . .
. . . when the broker sent your Flightmaster from Germany. Just the hours spent on the phone dealing with FedEx to release the package . . . nail-biting! A North American 910 waves hello to his South American compatriot! Best, Art ...
Ha ha ha!! I know well and remember dear Art! You kept me constantly informed and I kept biting my nails till you finally told me that Fedex had released the package!! OMG!!
It was like viewing a Thriller movie!! Thank you so much for sharing your 910 in that beautiful scenary! Best Abel.
This watch represents all that is good about our watch community...
I have never been a fan of the Flightmaster but the more I see it, I more I feel compelled to change my mind. It is so different but I guess that is what makes it fun. This one represents so much more than just another watch due to how you received it Abe...
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comments Holdemchamp. I absolutely agree with your words.
It is a true treasure for me beyond the conditions and beauty of this example it is symbol of friendship and passion shared in spite of distances. Have a nice weel end! Abel
What a beautiful watch and story, dear Abel
Regarding the FM, maybe It’s a long shot, but for me, it has the quirkiness to become a future PN Daytona. And collector will pay big sums for it. I’m glad you got a superb example! Best. René
Thank you so much my dear friend Rene for your kind comments!! Though I´m not sure the FM will reach a level like a PN Daytona, I feel it will be recognized...
... by collectors as it deserves: an interesting subject of collection, with much atraction on its design and variations and a different stage in the develpment of Omega chronographs beyond the Speedmaster (which I feel will always remain as an objeect of...
My pleasure, dear Abel
As I said, maybe I was stretching things a little But to me it is posible in the not so distant future. Best regards. René
