The legendary highly sought after Flightmaster SNA411 is now at the lowest price I have seen in a very long time. I believe Seiko have discontinued this one.

    Looks cool even if i dont know what most of the features are

  • garage sale on 17/12/2020 - 21:35

    thks bought, looks busiest of all my watches but at this price i will give it a go, looks cool, and be even cooler if i learn to use the dials even if i’m not a pilot or yachtsman.

    Solid price. Wouldn't normally go a battery quartz and yet it's on its way.

            @mextiki: He was an interesting guy, even back then. He ran a computer business making a couple of thousand a week during year 12. He was a lot less bombastic, but always self-assured.

                +2

                @Jenny Death: He sold hardware and software and networking, sometimes to his father's accounting clients and sometimes to individuals. Those were the days when there was good money to be had in selling computer hardware and you could literally put an ad in the paper relatively cheap and people would buy them from you from your house. It may sounds far fetched, but it was possible 30 years ago.

      Weighing your wrist down. One owner in a thousand might learn what all the parts and functions do and actually have a use for them, all the rest just want a big chunky watch.

      • xpusostomos on 19/12/2020 - 12:16

        It's not a very big watch. And it's just a stop watch with sliderule markings on the bezel

      not the best face for telling the time, especially if you wear glasses and don’t have them on but it’s a cool watch at a great price and because it’s quartz you don’t need to wear it daily but it’s always ready to go unlike my automatics. .i have other watches that are easier to read

    Good looking watch. Very similar watch to mine (Seiko Chronograph V172-0AC0). Mine is the solar powered though.

      Is it for open roof cockpits?

  • Zackeroo on 17/12/2020 - 23:36

    I honestly don't know anything about expensive watches, but I just did a search and found this:
    https://www.ozdigitalwatch.com/products/seiko-flightmaster-c…

    They look very similar, but I know there is a difference since the one posted here is an SNA411 while the other one is a SND253P1

    Does anyone actually know what the real difference is tho haha :)

    I did find another link for the same model and the price is $460, proving this deal as quite a good one hehe

    Seems like all of my favourite watches are 42mm. As someone who has and probably always will have skinny wrists, it'd be great if there were more 40mm options.

    • Foodsallad on 18/12/2020 - 00:31

      This watch wears more like a 40mm due to the large bezel and domed crystal. I have skinny wrists too but it still works out because of how small the actual watch face is.

    • G-rig on 18/12/2020 - 00:52

      42mm is ok, particularly in divers. No bigger for me also, most are huge

      What's wrong with quartz?

      • G-rig on 18/12/2020 - 10:28

        It's fine, other people snobbing it off.
        my mate still has a seamaster quartz.
        However, if you're spending that dosh you need automatic.

      • macrocephalic on 18/12/2020 - 18:38

        Quartz is accurate and reliable and boring. Most people don't need a watch now, and most of those who do would be better served by a cheap Casio. Watches are a fashion statement or at least there to be interesting. A quartz watch is not interesting.

        I'm currently rocking a 1960 Tudor that I inherited from my father. It needs a new crystal (ordered) and a new band (ordered) and it's comically small by modern standards, but it's a genuine Swiss Rolex and that makes it interesting to me.

          My quartz watch changes time based on satellites it triangulate to. Handy when I was travelling. Thats interesting enough for me.

      • ak47wong on 18/12/2020 - 09:38

        Probably won't require any service. I've had quartz watches from 30 years ago that have never been serviced and still run perfectly.

    Just be aware that the product doesn't ship until 22nd January. Also sign up bonus thing didn't work for me, it said only on audio products you get $10 off. BUT there was shopback of 1.5% on this one (thanks to the chrome extension for showing me that!)
    Who cares that this watch is quartz, its beautiful. I'm adding it to my collection of automatics and I don't think it will look out of place

  • simonbechh on 18/12/2020 - 09:26

    Thanks OP. Just bought it using your referral code. Btw if you paid with PayPal, make sure you pay with the original currency, in this case USD, instead of AUD. I ended up paying A256.6. ING bank reimburses any international transaction fees if you meet monthly requirement.

  • xyron on 18/12/2020 - 09:28

    Thanks OP - got it for $193.40 inc shipping to Melbourne using a random referral code (about $254AUD using a currency conversion fee-free card like my ANZ Travel Adventures). A bargain for this watch.

    • Kabk on 18/12/2020 - 09:44

      @xyron what was the referral code?

      • xyron on 18/12/2020 - 09:48

        No idea - I just hit the random referral generator at the top of this post. Gave me $10USD off my order and presumably a $10USD voucher to whoever's referral it was!

      • chriskq on 19/12/2020 - 19:38

        I figured it out…. if you activated the drop welcome $10 offer the referrer code doesnt work as it tries to apply the Welcome promo behind the scenes… the only way around i found is to sign in using a different account after clicking through via the referrer as there doesnt appear to be a way to turn off the Welcome

        Managed to also get for $193.4 USD, $255.14 AUD showing on my St George credit card

    While this model looks handy for avoiding the embarrassment and shame you feel in that moment when you forget how many pecks to a bushel (A terrible problem that no doubt still afflicts a great many). I'm wondering if they make a metric version? Admittedly it's quite rare for me to find myself in metric airspace at the moment but if I do in future and the pilots fall ill after consuming a bad in-flight fish dinner I'm worried I might be SOL when trying to work out if I'm under the maximum landing weight with this watch. I fear that in such a scenario I may have to fall back to the instincts I developed flying fighter jets during the war and hope for the best.

  • xpusostomos on 19/12/2020 - 12:23

    It's metric AND imperial. If you look carefully at the bezel it mentions kg, litres etc. One of the main things you can do is convert miles to km or nautical miles or whatever.

    • Technics on 19/12/2020 - 14:30

      Surely you can't be serious. I'm not aware of any metric unit called liters. There's one called litres and we speak the Queens English in my cockpit.
