Another treasure from Dr No's photo files: Memomatic ref 166.071 . . .
. . . that shares its case with the Flightmaster. This example was essentially NOS from a German collector. I was sorely tempted to snag it for my collection but missed out for some unfathomable reason. Every time I see these images I wonder, "What if?" A...
That was the main attraction - try to find one . . .
. . . without scratches. This had to be the best example in existence.
Well, if they're not too hard to find in that condition . . .
. . . then I guess another chance will come my way.
Let me put it this way: you can count the number of vintage Omegas . . .
. . . that could still make their way to my collection on the fingers of one hand. The chiming Flightmaster is one of therm. ;-)
A Flightmaster 145.013, yes . . .
. . . but not the Memomatic alarm cased in Flightmaster clothing. ...
Looks fab - can see why you were tempted
We all have whatifs - can't snag everything Cheers JML
If gluttony for watches is a sin . . .
. . . then my final resting place is a foregone conclusion. 😈
The most of the people here are - me included 🔥🔥🔥
Currently contemplating 2 more watches - neither of which I need. I could probably use the money way more productively - but where's the fun in that Cheers JML
Hey Art, am I right in recalling the words, "I'm done" followed by other words by someone else to the effect of horse hockey (being more politically correct)?
I have an idea - it is a totally cool watch in great condition so why don't you scratch your shopping itch and then give to me. That way you have won't have to suffer the slings and arrows from those who care for you in comment to your recurrent declarati...
As someone once said, "The biggest lies . . .
. . . are the lies we tell ourselves." If a mint Memo should ever come up I'll remember your suggestion . . . whenever it's on my wrist.
The collection it came from was staggeringly spectacular . . .
. . . with several Breitlings and TAGs in addition to Omegas, maybe a hundred altogether. The collector bought the majority of them to possess, not to wear.
The '70s were . . .
. . . my decade. Cars, films, music, watches . . . the best of everything.
You beat me to it….
The 70’s in all its fabulous (and hideous) glory!!!! In what other decade could the Stones and ABBA peacefully co exist?
Wow, that is a chunky boy,
like the flightmaster this would not sit too well on my wrist I guess... But I love the orange accents on the dial, so funky and just "70s"... The condition is unreal of course - I can see why you are still sorry for letting this one go!
