After missing UPS yesterday, then driving to their customer service center in the sticks to find that they haven't bothered opening for the past 6 months, I took 4 hours off from work to meet the driver on the second attempt. The lighting at delivery time was too bright and after I got home from work, too dim but it still looks really nice.

Holy smegeggles that's a thick case!
I ship product all across the country with FedEx / UPS.
Something's happened the past 6 months and now shipping is intolerably unreliable.
I've never seen so many missed packages, wrong delivery addresses, etc etc etc.

USPS and Fed Ex have been great for me. The town I live in is the butthole of the state (I'm only here for work) and full of incompetents with no competition so the local UPS center just not being open is par for the course. I forgot to add. When I called UPS customer service (after fighting the automated system for 10 minutes trying to speak to a human) to complain that the customer service center here doesn't open anymore UPS told me to have Omega request the watch be returned to them and then ship it to me using a service other than UPS! :D

RIP Flightmaster.

A truly uncompromising tool watch.

Considering the time it was introduced it is like something from another planet. It is so tall that wrist shots look nothing like it does in real life.

LOVE IT! I have been studying the variations and am really trying to find the right one to buy and wear or at the right price one to send to Omega for an overhaul and then wear

They returned the old parts and it was the base $925 including next day shipping back to me from NJ (this also includes what it cost to ship it from NJ to Switzerland and back.) It's the least I've spent on a vintage Omega service ever. I used Nesbits for my Speedmaster Pro Mk II and Speedmaster Auto Mk 4.5. New crystals and a few other things weren't covered by the service charge at Nesbit's but Omega didn't charge me extra. I think both services at Nesbit's took half the time or a bit less though.

The Flightmaster is one of the watches I’d buy once I lift my personal shopping ban. Until then I just admire it on other folks’ wrists.
Congratulations - Omega returned it like new. 👍🏼

Magnificent watch. It's nice when a watch comes back refreshed from the manufacturer.

Nope, the dial is the original. I spent a long time looking for the right one. I got it on eBay from someone who re-sells estate purchases so I believe it was probably a well taken care of, one owner watch. Here are some before photos.
