Putting my money where my mouth is - aka the Railmaster as my first Omega
The title has a twofold meaning in this case. First of all I entered into a gentleman’s agreement with Nilo that he’d get a Montblanc watch if I was to get an Omega. I have to admit he’s been much faster at following through on it than I have but finally ...
The strap is the default Omega one, Templetowers :)
I have to say I liked this version best. The leather NATO version had the watch sit too high on my wrist. Thanks!
Congrats!
I particularly like the strap! Thinking about getting that one on my ck2998 hehe Nice choice the watch itself is really nice too! Kev
Not sure what sizes Omega offers it in, Kev...
The Railmaster has a lug width of 20mm... Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks a lot Padj!
Now we need to find a way of sharing some heat treated meat in celebration
Thanks Luis!
I felt it right and as I do not intend to sell the watch anyway, I think the trade-off is more than worth it
Great choice my friend .
Just buy what you like i would say , even its a normal production or lmt , big brand or indie , as long as it makes you happy . Again Congrats and have a great weekend too 🤗
Thanks a lot, Watchonthewrist!
Fully agree with you there - what sings to us should be the prime determinant. Great weekend to you too!
Definitely do!
Fully agree with you Massi! The movement is interesting and fully fits the Railmaster idea Now I have two ‘Railmasters’ following from the Ferrovia dello Stato Universal Geneve I got recently Have a great weekend!
Grinning from ear . . .
. . . to ear! I'll wear mine today in your honor, K. Fresh photo tomorrow, promise . . .
Nice!
It’s a different watch from the other Omega sports model but you can’t deny that there’s something going on in it that makes this watch a worthy piece in one’s collection. Congrats and wear the RM in good health always!
Rails . . .
. . . and rock stars. Yup, that's Lemmy's statue, situated a few feet from his regular bar stool at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. Lemmy probably preferred German watches, but he wouldn't turn down a Rail, . . . . . . would he? ;-) ...
You’ll need to catch me up on his German watch preference, Art...
But great Rail pictures!
Lemmy was, to say the least, a colorful character. I remember seeing him in the mid-'80s . . .
. . . at the Rainbow wearing an SS officer's uniform. And it wasn't just a pose . . . the outfit was authentic. At some point in the late '80s, he stopped dressing in Nazi regalia at the request of the Rainbow's management due to complaints. So he switche...
Thanks for all this detail, Art :)
People not wearing watches before the advent of mobile phones? Scandalous
Thanks a lot, Blomman!
I am sure JLC and GP will follow as well in due course Have a great Sunday!
