. . . here, Fernando. Let's see 'em all, guys! Art
Strapped on for foul weather duty (picture not from today, thankfully)
There was so much to like about this watch, but I always had a bit of trouble wearing it. I intended to mostly wear it on a strap, but it kept feeling more at home on the bracelet... but I didn't like the bracelet Omega put it with!
I've been looking for a green tinged strap myself for the Railmaster.
... with the 60th Anniversary model and my recent catch ref 135.004-63 from 1963. Cheers! Abel
My big pleasure to share them with you! Cheers! Abel
