Hands and dial have been redone/replaced, looks a bit overpolished or ground down...

Interesting to note that while the seller is very specific about it being an Omega Cal 911 movement, the balance bridge in the pictures, is marked as a Cal 865, which is a Chronostop movement if I recall correctly, further reinforcing the notion that a watchmaker had a barrel of parts and tried to make something out of his leftovers.

Correct - the 865 is the single button Chronostop caliber. Another example of eBay shenanigans..... better known as frankenwatching.

As appalling as this is, I'm vaguely impressed this lashup is working...

I think we're well past part out value now and approaching the point where multiple people actually think they're getting a real flightmaster

Again, I'm no expert, but do know what a Flightmaster looks like and that it has a 910 or 911 calibre. I will give the credit if it indeed really runs and functions as a Flightmaster should.
