Re: Poor Man's Flightmaster

Osc: the lugs are 22mm. And until I decide to actually wear them, we'll have to imagine the watches on leather. Trying to keep them pristine for the time being...

Kermit: the watch is about the size of an MM300. Quite thick also, as seen from the photos :)

Okies: yes, the gold is really quite outstanding in the metal! It is not as yellow as the photos show (pics taken with yellow lighting), more wine gold, and imo wearable (esp if on leather).

Re: Poor Man's Flightmaster

22mm ?! So tempting.. I thought I read somewhere that it's 21, the source is mistaken then

Re: Poor Man's Flightmaster

can can, but I can only do so tmrw. Don't have access to camera liao :oops: :oops: :oops:

It is pilot style, and there are three keepers - one in leather matching the strap, and two are metal rings. 20mm, about 4-5mm thick leather, surface has jungle camouflage fabric overlay. Two rivets at springbar end, one rivet at tail.

yah loh I also find it strange. I've put it back on bracelet (which incidentally fits my wrist very comfortably).

I've got two strap options for the gold one liao, and most likely will go with this when I break it out to wear:

Re: Poor Man's Flightmaster

"herzausstahl"

the tan leather goes with the blue/white

i believe the tan, once after it's been thrashed to a certain extent, it will turn darker, making it more beautiful plus the distressed aged lines from the constant wear

but the bund must go

it's making the watch look weird.

i will just use the strap

the watch case is big enough hence it doesn't requires a bund :mrgreen:

am not really a brown strap fan but this type of tan colour just turns me on
