Great watch and the Fixo-Flex bracelet is matching and period correct. Not so bad to wear, i had one on a Mido Multifort first generation and i loved it. [nt]

An almost perfect Omega Railmaster CK 2914-4 seen in Paris.
The case is ok, the dial is sublime, the hands should be changed, as I am not convinced by them. The bracelet should be removed and changed for a correct one, or for a nice strap. But the case and the dial are pretty impressive. Best, Nicolas ...
Hour and minute hands seem ok, but the sweep seconds? . . .
. . . ouch! And good luck finding a correct spare . . . best to find an example that's intact, even if there's more wear 'n tear than one would prefer. As for the Speidel flex band: I'm ok with them. The Speidel on my 910 was installed by the original own...

Ah, I thought I'd seen similar before . . .

What would be the odds that both this one and mine ....
Would have replaced hands AND with the same incorrect hand AND both happens to be 2914-4? ...
I would be more worried about the dial...
At least the "R" looks to have been "improved"...
Blomman says his is identical, so . . .
. . . perhaps there were two types of lume patterns on Rail hour hands.
