... gold watches myself. But this Moonshine edition was really something!! It didnβt let me sleep till I was assured that one was asigned to me. The Flightmaster is truly a cool watch. I feel collectors still donβt pay this model the attention it deserves...
Hi Andreas...

sometimes its a waiting game Saw this in London a few years ago and went to try it on, but it was one where I wanted to think about it. I was due to go down again in a few weeks and had the idea, that if it wasn't sold I'd get it. sometimes a watch choose...

Amazing Flight Masters

I especially love the colors in the design. Almost a modernist painting. A very cool piece for the knowledgeable collector π

PAM140 - Got stuck in my head big time when I saw one during a gtg. Not many going around, took some time to find one. GMTM1675 PCG gilt chapter ring. A lot of patience required and many anxious moments when looking for one. ...

Locating a good one would be a major hunting trip for any of us. Itβs a great watch to bag SF π

Great watches and stories, Kristjan

Likewise, Christian!

The hunting theme is a good one and very apt

This is my office watch which I got after a lot of nailbiting, wondering if it would be sold before I could buy it. It's just a simple, modern Longines but I think it's very well done. ...
Fabulous Longines indeed!
