Hi!

 

Just got my Railmaster from Tony!

 

I have tried to take some pictures, but man that was a pain in the a** without a macro lens!

The strap unfortunally feels stiff and sharp, feels like a major tell i my opinion, but I´m no expert.

Clasp looks good, but not sure about the if O-logo is correct, didnt get av picture of it..

The gold movement looks good, but i guess thats a major tell for the in-the-know

Overall, this is my first rep, and I am satisfied. The strap doesnt feel that good, but i guess that can be changed to another if i want. Also not totally sure about the crown/tube. It makes noise and is difficult to screw in/out. A bit afraid to break it.

 

Also sorry about the large pictures, but i did my best  ;)

Great choice , what size is that coming in at ?

 

Thank you! Also I´am a locomtive engineer, so I really had to have one :)

 

I dont have a precise instrument, but i measure the case diameter to be 40mm, same as it says on Tonys site.

Nice one, the watch looks really good, I always find the railmaster really striking in a low key sort of manner. I don't think it's the old superrep which is a shame they are not available anymore, but it looks great, and on a better strap will complement it nicely.

I agree with you that it is not the same version. Can you recommend a place to shop for a better looking gator strap? Or even genuine Omega?

 

On the other hand, it keeps great time. 6-7seconds fast over the last 24 hours. That is good enough for me :)

Have a look at hirsch straps on watchbandcentre, the duke is pretty good, also Rios straps have a very good cut. There's also a seller on ebay called timepiecerepublic who does deployant straps, not perfect but much better than the low grade rep straps. If you want a much better strap then guys like peter.watchacc (search google he's on tz forums) do really good quality omega deployant straps, they aren't cheap though.
