Hey my arms and wrists are not like Garth but a 47mm Fiddy looks great on me.

I recenlty got a daydate from josh it is fantastic, and the service is the same.

Bump, willing to pay you know!

I got one from Josh on my railmaster, they are very good even with the gen in the other hand it would be hard to tell them apart, look in Bytors guide to omegas at the railmaster bit for a link to my write up.

Can you confirm the shipping methode used as only EMS works for me. Andy

I will be up for 2 as i will be helping someone else out on the postage front, i think the payment options need to be looked at as this would alert people if we all paid one person and he paid the dealer. Could be not all pay the dealer individualy and use some sort of coupon number so that he would know we are all from the same group?

the reason for this is that the flyback module has the extra 5 jewels, if the rep had this tricky bit of engenering theni think we would be paying alot more for it

Mesured mine today at 41.7mm

Hi every one does any one have an crystal laying round that will fit a 47mm, this one from PTs raffle. I dropped it and have just managed to get a new movement in to it, (it was a real shame to take apart the vintage pocket watch but to had to be done) now all i need is crystal, plexy or mineral i dont realy mind, ok saphire if someone has one cheep, it mesures 41.7mm on the outside edge so if you have changed yours for saphire then let me know. Many thanks Andy edited spelt Marina wrong first time, me mong

I have a german watch mag, (Uhren Magazin) that did a review of these last year, and from what i can see in the close up pics of the gens in the mag and the photos on trusty and joshuas site they are very good, and if the quality is any think close to the date just i got from joshua the other week they are very good, just dug it out it wa Jan/feb 2005, they did a 6 page in depth on the SS and TT. They got good reviews.

Well as you have read it has finally arrived, not that the post took long but I have been after a Railmaster since before I found this place, in fact it was the reason I found it as I was looking for information on a dealer that I was having a problem with. Enough of that this about Pierce Brosnan’s choice (and mine). This is my first purchase from Joshua and I can not give enough praise for this dealer, good communication through out, lots of information given, packaging took an age to get into and the watch emerged like a butterfly from its cocoon, complete with tags warrantee information and a warrantee card which I was not expecting. Thank you. So now onto the watch, it is described as being the 40mm version so I was a little unsure of which one I would get as the Aqua Terra case comes in 28, 35, 38, 41mm and the 47mm XXL as described by Omega. I have a 38mm Genuine AT to compare the sizes with and this is exactly the same size as that (I am not sure what points they measure from as I could not get 38mm with my veneer gauge at any point on the genuine or the rep. It is 11.8mm thick at the top of the domed sapphire which has an AR coating but is not as prominent as on my 127. Please see the pictures for other dimensions. The dial is about as close to perfect as could be and if it was not already pointed out to me I would not notice that the Railmaster was a fraction of a gnats hair to the right, only really notable when you know and compare the top of the L to the right hand side of the M. The markers are surrounded by a thin white border just as in the genuine and are painted on the same too and therefore slightly proud. The lume looks good but I could not tell you how long it will last at night until I sit awake all night watching it (tonight Probably) but looks of an even colour and shines very well in a darkened room. The Rep The Gen (dont worry about the marker colour in real life they are the same as the rep) The Works is an ETA2836-2 and of a very high finish quality in nickel plate. It is a shame that the rotor could not be made to look a bit more like the genuine but if some one wanted to call me out and needed to look at the works to do it A. He would be looking through swollen eyes for being cheeky. B. No amount of decoration would be enough to hide the fact this was not a co-axial works. As for time keeping only time will tell but when it has been serviced and regulated any 2836 has the power to keep within COSC standards, I will let you know if there are any problems in this dept but I don’t think there will be. The strap on this model is a very close copy of the real thing the only slight let down is the omega logo is not quite as defined as on the genuine and only notable when you have the luxury to have both in your hand at the same time. I was hoping for the croc strap but I got the alligator, it as soft and pliable as any I have worn in the past and a nice shine that exudes the quality of the finish, markings are as on the genuine so for all I know it could be the real thing and that is when I compare the two both in my hands. In Summary this is a beautiful time piece with all the right equipment to keep excellent time and look good with any dress code from black tie to jeans. I wish it was the larger version both the 41mm and also the XXL will be mine if they ever get made. I hope this short review will be well received by all and it has answered any questions you might have on this model. Joshua I thank you for your service and the fine watch that has knocked my 127 back on to the shelf. I am sorry for the quality of my photos and must also give credit to Joshua for using some of his as well as a couple I found on the net for comparison. More pics can be found on Joshua’s site at the link below Joshua Railmaster

Sorry about the quality but i did them on the phone to get some published quick I will do some better ones later.

I has arrived, wow i am so inpressed with this one! Joshua i am soooooo impressed. I will start to take some photos and mesurements for the other interesting partys but i think i will have to pay a short visit to the AD for some comparisons, but wow! thank you Joshua
