Very nice!
Happy that I managed to get my Flightmaster over to my new home in France. Enjoying a brisk January morning. 
Omega Flightmaster 145036.
A superb specimen superbly captured by Analog and Shift. A reference I would love to add in my collection. Best, Nicolas ...
Always loved this one.
In the 2000s it was a watch I hummed and hawed about a lot and came close a few times on some different variants. Here are some pictures of what I recall being Art’s Flightmaster from a GTG in 2018. ...
Abel acquired his ref 145.013 Flightmaster . . .
. . . shortly after that g-t-g in New York City, Nicolas. Here they are . . . . . . side-by-side. Friendship Flightmasters, I call them. 😌 ...
So that photo I posted is yours then Art. It’s a great watch, one I always liked.
It still seems to me that it is something Omega could bring back, same case shape but perhaps a little thinner. It’d be cool.
Yes, Jay, that photo's from our October '18 gathering when it was still . . .
. . . on a Speidel flexible bracelet. I'll retrieve the Flightmaster from my safe deposit box Monday for some overdue wrist time and a photo shoot. Best, Art

The FM is a very cool watch for sure. And this watch in particular…
… is a most important piece in my collection due to its great story behind. A true Friendship watch! Thank you Jay!! Best Abel

That was the most intricate watch acquisition I've ever experienced . . .
. . . with wildly unexpected challenges. I had to apply for a Federal tax ID to get the Flightmaster out of FedEx import control, find an original chrono seconds hand, and match the paint for the GMT crown when my watchmaker inadvertently left it in place...
I well remember all that dear Art!!
Can’t forget all things you had to go through with this watch!! Only a good friend can do all that! I never suspected it would be such a troublesome experience… and all for you!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️ “Friendship Flightmaster” is the best name for this watch!! Better ...
Abel went all-out to find The Argentine Bombshell . . .
. . . for me. I found it on eBay but wary of dealing with a seller I didn't know. Abel searched up and down Argentina to find the seller, then negotiated directly with him to get the unbelievably rare ref CO 2494 into my hands. As they say, "One good turn...
Nothing compares with all the time and trouble you went through with the Flightmaster dear Art! I was lucky to find and contact the dealer through an old friend here.
You had the keen eye to detect this watch in the net and the knowledge to see it was a rare and interesting old Omega worth hunting. I was very happy to catch it for you and more happy to know that you are enjoying it in your collection. Keep loving and e...
