. . . you couldn't do much better than . . . . . . an anniversary Rail.
And probably one of my favorite time only watches!! Great photos! -D-
. . . or 135.004, but as the sole member of a one-watch collection, to wear every day? For practicality, water-tightness, and timing performance? The 60th, hands down.
If you have access to both then the vintage original watches are the ultimate sophisticated luxury where a gentleman can graciously indulge in.
. . . are spectacularly well adjusted after being serviced and regulated by my watchmaker, it may be too much to expect them to hold up their timing over the course of a few years. The 60th's co-axial escapement movement, though, is in another league altogether, offering outstanding technical performance that can be reasonably expected to last for many years before servicing.
A lot to love about this Railmaster! METAS movement is a plus. I love the watch Omega reimagined the bracelet too. Best of health to all at home, my friend
