insane Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hey Guys.. I fell in love with the Railmaster last night, and after reading a bit about it here, I tried to figure out which dealer to use. Silix-prime: $185 + $28 shipping = $213 38x46x10mm ETA 2824 Saphire with AR WO-Mart: $189 including shipping 41x10mm ETA 2836 Saphire with AR Trusty $238 + $25 shipping = $263 40x8mm ETA 2836-2 Saphire Joshua $238 + $30 shipping = $268 40x8mm ETA 2824-2 Saphire I've bought all my latest watches from Josh, but also lots from Trusty. Only a couple from Silix and one from Paul.. The only problem is the price. These watches are pretty much the same, and with a price difference of $100, but with an image of a rusty LV band from my last WO-mart purchase in my head, I'm am not sure what to do. Anyone here got the Railmaster from WO-Mart or Silix? Regards Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpops Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 As those all appeared on the dealer's websites at about the same time, i guess they're all from the same factory. You've experienced all the dealers you list, so make your decision. Is the service of Josh, Andrew or Silix worth the price difference over Paul? Great choice by the way. I really must get around to buying one myself. PS. I just got a 42mm 5th gen Planet Ocean on leather from paul. My first from him in about 12 months. It took a while, but A) He's the only once who sells that model afaik, and it's over $100 cheaper than anyone elses. The price difference was worth the risk imo. Now i'm happy.

Uhrenfreund25 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wo-Mart's has a different movement?

insane Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Josh's and WO-marts are probably the same, even the movement. Too bad that he only accepts Western Union. He accepted moneybookers last time I used him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaku Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 It looks the same watch for all dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wo-Mart's has a different movement? 2836,2836-2,2824,2824-2 are the same movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Anyone here got the Railmaster from WO-Mart or Silix? The watch is the same for all the dealers.... the first point is to save money or no? With Paul the money is save but.... the second point is in case of problems who offers the good service? With Andrew & Joshua you have a good service after sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ordered from Joshua.. His service is worth the extra $$ + you get a better strap than from Paul ( i think) Can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I recently purchased the Railmaster from Silix. It's a great piece. I don't think you can go wrong with any of our dealers. Angel & Jay have always taken care of any problems I have had. For the price you can't go wrong. The strap on the Silix version is very good and the buckle is great. I want one for my PO!!

insane Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Just got three Tag Links from him as well. So he made it worth my while.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Good luck with your Railmaster, Insane. A very stylish watch, if you can live without a date. Thanks for the LV from Paul, by the way! I agree that the rust stains inside the clasp dont look well.. But, I have experienced rust on bracelets from Andrew also. Anyway, a very nice LV with excellent dial, CGs and date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
