Thanks, yes tried that, but because of the band taper, I can't get it beyond the 2nd hole on the clasp side, and the 5th on the bracelet side...

If I do move it in one hole on the clasp side, it...

Thanks to TomGW for helping me source a 1162 strap on here !

I've taken a link out of it, but it is still fractionally too big, a little too much slide on the wrist.

Is there such a thing as a...

Great photos Stanford - how do you find the new bracelet ? some say it's a bit flimsy, but it looks fine to me...

Thanks Jack, Tom, all for the advice.

I've found a couple of versions, some of which have 173 on the end links. Seems odd to me, as 172 should be the standard.

The mesh is a great look for a...

Rolex Daytona ?

Such a versatile watch, it takes on the qualities of a Heuer Bund on a Nato.

As posted elsewhere, I'm the proud owner of an Omega Flightmaster.

I know that the straps for these are the 1162 and the 1159. I also know the lug width needs to be 22mm.

But what I'm confused...

I love the 4.5 after the madness of the deep 3

Incredible story, thankyou.

And so we see yet another by-product of the dangerous mix of strong powerful medication and eBay

AFAIK the circular brushing has been done after the fact. I don't think 1250 is a bad price at all if it's just a case finishing issue.

This wonderful, 43 yr old watch finally arrived, after the British government saw fit to charge 20% VAT on a watch that has probably been bought and sold 3-10 times in its life.

I cannot tell you...

Thanks all for the advice - the seller I bought it off was a total gent and included a generic stainless, and a perforated rally style for free in the box. And while I can totally understand why...

Coming from a man with a '71 PloProf, that takes some doing !

It's a 1969/70, the .911 calibre came in after, no 24 hour green dial, replaced with a moving second hand.

Like my other watch purchases, I always blame the late, great Chuck Maddox for his...

Good advice, Darren, thankyou

Very excited that my personal grail is on its way - an Omega Flightmaster 910, a few restorations made, and a little work needed to get the original parts back on, but it's a beauty.

Thanks to...

+1 for Timefactors :P

Hello TZ, spent many months lurking on this wonderful forum, would welcome advice !

I'm soon to be receiving (touch wood!) a Flightmaster 910 - it's currently on an Omega mesh, which isn't quite...
