Wonderful! Marvelous! Just the sort of story that might come from Purist friends. Congratulations to you both. And (despite the fact that story takes first place here, over watch) what a
fantastic FlightMaster! Ooo, those colors! Wow. Two lucky compadres! FH

Abel's is the original 1159 bracelet with 155 end links, mine is . . .
. . . a Speidel.
So a trip down to Argentina is in the works, Art?
What better than personal delivery while making a vacation out of it!
Congratulations to Abel for such a wonderful pickup , and to you for passing along the good fortune of the find.
Funny, but every time I see a Flightmaster, I immediately think of you.
Hope all is well, Art, and here’s to catching up soon!
Cheers,
Alex

Abel spends part of the year in Florida, so more likely he'll receive it there, Alex. All's well here . . .
. . . other drying out to alleviate medical issues. No more tequila, no more ale . . . (sigh) . . .
Great to know you are doing fine with health Art. And hope beverages restrictions would stop some day soon! ;) [nt]

(sigh) . . . that's still up in the air, Abel. I've been dry for over a month without a single recurrence . . .
. . . of gout. Had a sip of wine Thursday night and beer Saturday, but not more than that.
As much as I'd like to enjoy a pint of ale, the thought of another bout sends shivers down my spine . . .
Bummer to hear that, Art...
I too have been dealing with high uric acid for a few years now... my nutritionist definitely banned me from any alcohol, particularly beer, as it is the one which triggers it the most.
I still drink though, and I have found Portuguese vino verde, sake, and straight Scotch or Japanese whisky, all in moderation, to be good to keep the symptoms at bay.
Having said that, I still look forward to sharing a cup of coffee or some tea next time we meet!
Take care,
Alex

At some point in early June, Alex, I'd totally quit for two weeks, then had . . .
. . . a single screwdriver with Tito's vodka, one of the purest distillations around, on a Sunday night.
Monday, gout returned with a vengeance.
;-(
So ever since June 24th, I haven't had more than a few drops of any libation, and other than a manageable bout the first week, not more than a slight twinge. If this pattern keeps up - of not drinking and not registering pain - then I'm going to be on the wagon for a long time.
Art
Ouch! That hurts!! But I imagine that not following Doctor´s orders would be more painful. Take care my dear Art! Abel. [nt]

Thank you Alex! All merit belongs to Art. I wish he could visit my Country some day. He knows he has a friend here waiting for him. [nt]

Thank you so much for your kind message Seeks. Always thought that best part of watch collecting comes from the people you meet, those who became friends and the stories...
... behind each piece we own. This Flightmaster will arrive with a great story behind which will remind me of my friend Art each time I view it. I surely will treasure it!
All the best, Abel.
All the best, Abel.
I believe there's another Flightmaster in the collection, Jeff . . .
. . . as well as a Bullhead, not to mention various Speed and Seamasters. I'll let you know when the legal issues are sorted out and the broker can start offering pieces again.
Warmest,
Art
Your input was vital, mrsnak! . . .
. . . I never would've known about this Flightmaster if you hadn't told me about it ;-) . . .
