dariusp Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Help me fellow watch enthusiasts. I'm torn between the FA Jones with Black numbers or the Railmaster XXL. Help me make a choice please! Weigh in with your opinions on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I would go with the railmaster, because i like them, thats all. FA Jones if you plan to wear with a suit to smarter affairs but the raily for smart casual to smart. Its good enough for Pierce Brosnan!

dariusp Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I've always been told to go with my 1st instinct, and the XXL was my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 What strap size do I need and who has deployant Omega buckles? Dealers here or eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Two completely different watches in terms of size. If you like the bigger watch then the XXL is way cool. Also, a more rugged look. The Jones has more of a classy, dressy look. Also, there is so much square footage of lume space on the XXL it glows pretty good.

dluddy Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 What strap size do I need and who has deployant Omega buckles? Dealers here or eBay? Mine came with the rep Omega Deployant buckle which was OK but not great. The Lug size is 24Mm and the deployant end is 18MM so it is a weird strap size to find. I had Banda make up a honey gator you see in my post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 F.A Jones horrible Railmaster sorry TTK, but taste is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Gotta agree. The Jones is far more classy. The railmaster looks like the clock from Union Station on a strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I thank all of you for your opinions, and I think I'm going to go for the Railmaster. Now, I have to pick my dealer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 On the Banda site, I see 24mm Pam straps and 24mm Breitling straps. Which one for the Railmaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have seen a raily on a pam strap but it looked a bit to fat, TTK had a pic of his on a double white stitched crock that looked just awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dariusp Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah, he posted that on RWI in my other post, but I don't know if it was the Breitling strap or the Pam strap. Acetimer on ebay has some and I think I'll get one from them. It still says 24/22 and it has a deployant clasp on it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepsea Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 railmaster xxl is nnnnice but... VERY huge... I have it but it nearly gets no wrist time because of its size. and fa jones... it is a cheap looking rep. you might think of regular railmaster.
