nice. Old Omega's are cool -
That's very nice. I've got a special birthday this year. I quite fancy getting a watch as old as me.
Could you not polish out the glass yourself (I'm assuming it's not sapphire)?

Should I pay for my watch to be repaired or chuck it in the bin (£240 content)

Thanks, Omega Flightmaster, early variation on the c.911 (black infill on the hands, as per the 910 vs. the usual white) - I think from 1970. I wear it pretty much daily and it has yet to miss a beat.
As far as the crystal goes, aye, I could polish it out but I think it deserves a replacement. Shouldn't be to much to have it fitted (I've got a box of original parts for it) and I'd rather it was sorted properly rather than me fiddling about with it.

Thanks, Omega Flightmaster,... I think from 1970
The perfect year for me!
I've got a few big watches but nothing from Omega. Quite like the Speedmaster as well.

you occasionally find Flightmasters popping up on ebay etc - not as common as many of the older Omega models though. For a mint condition one you'll get stung a bit too - prices seem to have rocketed since I've had mine (a lucky local auction find).
They did a solid gold version too:
Bling!

I just found this mint one.
Only £2,800!
5 years ago you'd be paying £1,200 tops for a mint example. I think they appeared in a Sunday Times article about vintage watches about 3 years ago that put the price on a retail-bought decent example at just under £5K
all of a sudden on TZ forum / ebay etc prices shot up!This:
Looks good value at £845 - I think it's early 1970's too...

..Actually matthewjb - not sure whether you'd be interested in buying my Flightmaster (it'd be a darn sight cheaper than than example you listed)? It's my wife's 30th shortly and I could use the cash...
