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.
