tostef Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I've been owning the Railmaster for one week now, so here's my short review. 1) The case (stainless steel) has the same measurements as the gen. Case material is stainless steel, the sides are brushed and the front is polished (same as gen). 2) The bracelet, walnut alligator leather strap nearly the same as the gen, color is a little bit lighter. Folding clasp looks great. 3) The front glass is doomed and AR coated, so that dial has a dark bluish finish. Back glass doesn't have that coating. Both glasses are sapphire. 4) The dial is looking really great. Nearly the same as the gen. The letters have the same font. Only the numbers (12, 3, 6, 9) are a little bit more stretched. The second hand is a little bit longer. The loom has a green shine, but I haven't looked how long it goes. 5) The movement is an Swiss ETA 2824-2. Unfortunately the rotor isn't designed as the gen one. But the movement is looking nice anyhow. So, the Railmaster is a superb watch, looking classy and sophisticated. It's my favourite at the moment. Below are following pics of the gen and the replica. The gen is the one with the steel bracelet, that I downloaded from the internet. Unfortunately I didn't find that many pics of a Railmaster with a leather strap. But you can compare the case with these pics quite good. So, first one gen, second one replica: So, work is done, over and out. Best regards, Tostef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Great watch, i hope it gets worn lots. That strap looks just like the gen, (i have one here) Lume glows real well on my rep all night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're lucky to own the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Looks excellent. Looks like the gen doesn't have any AR whereas the rep does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really looking as if the gen doesn't have the AR. Maybe it's an older model? Don't know. Found another pic on ebay. This one seems to have the AR: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
