Each of them are limited to 3557 pieces or... In a set, limited to 557 pieces. The Seamaster 300 1957 is two miliimeters smaller than the current Seamaster 300 ( 39 mm / 41 mm ). The Railmaster 300 1957 is 38 mm big, Like the original. The Speedmaster 195...
We\'ll see, I need to hold it and make that decision. I sent an email instantly to the Sydney boutique though! So hopefully as soon as it\'s in I\'ll get to see it! I just asked \'to be on the waiting list\'.
who starts to think that the industry is overdoing the re-release of vintage models? The execution is excellent, no doubt and they will sell out for sure, so cannot blame Omega at all. On the other hand, as a vintage watch lover, I have mixed feelings. Li...
I had same mixed feelings, in some way I find it unfair for the owners of the originals, but as a possible new owner of the watch I like, I couldn't be happier. Have I said it already? Best. Vte
One of my biggest complaints about this "retro fever", is about crazy prices. I respect and understand it, but from my passion I find it unfair, probably because I can not afford them, but that's the way I feel it. In this material world we live in these ...
....i actually like teh concept of owning both a modern and a vintage of teh same piece. At the same time, it does seem to be de rigeur across the industry to use this M.O. as it is so popular. On balance, I go with the trend. Further....take the original...
Have been in the package already or should have made an appearance ages ago when they started the whole craze, but its that addige that companies will do whatever they can to sell you more watches and at least Omega finally listened to the masses. Althoug...
I tend to agree with Arie's opinion about re-editions. I have an easier time with how TAG handled the Autavia - yes, there are clear differences, and owners of the originals will not have interest. But their pieces are also not directly copied. So I prefe...
I do wish they updated the RM just a little with a screw down crown, especially since it\'s an automatic. I understand that perhaps this was not possible because of the size of the crown. I also want a plexi Speedy Pro... I still haven\'t got one. Perhaps...
What a fantastic job from Omega. Housing a manual movement in the Speedmaster, reducing its size, my hat off, "chapeau", long live common sense Stylish and ...........real smart
You could deliberate over whether vintage re-editions are \'unfair\' etc etc, but hey, for the vast majority of passionate collectors, what better way to acquire something that they could comfortably enjoy wearing every day! On the other hand, if one pref...
I don\'t think it looks \'old\'. The tritium lime watches look old, but they also look cool. So therefore, if we can make new Lume look a similar colour and it looks cool. Then let\'s make the watch with those tones. To me, it makes sense. They could\'ve ...
But I\'m sure Rolex knows what they are doing as they have made few mistakes in their collection-line up-history. I think we should not forget that here on PuristSPro the taste in watches and the knowledge of them is extremely sophisticated compared to th...
The masses would likely not buy these watches as they are too small and look old! Rolex catered to the masses with the SD and not to people on this or other watch enthusiast forum.
Notice the watches in the Trilogy box set have extra writing on the dial (1957-2017 I believe) and some extra engraving on the caseback. For me I don't want a date range printed on the dial so I'm buying mine separately. My favorite watch this year is def...
"Note that it will also be possible to purchase a set with the three watches together, again in a limited edition of 557 examples, and Omega announced that those will bear dedicated engravings on the caseback and an extra script on the dial . The set will...
......L.E or plain vanilla, these are all great and fund watches........if it was THAT important to be exactly like the original vintage, I would say GET the original vintage. But for a modern iteration.....these are ALL winners.
A very cool trio. I love that Omega seems to be right-sizing the cases a bit and appear to happily omit the dreaded (feared?) date window. Two thoughts: 1. When will we see an homage to the Seamaster with curvy lugs? I think a reissue of the the MoD Seama...
... lesrn about the new watches!! Yo aqui en Miami peleandome con la gente de Panerai que no me entrega el 687 prometido!! Grrrrr!! Abrazos afectuosos mi amigo!! Abel

Have already ordered! Why the Railmaster? It is the only one, which is not produced at the moment from Omega, the Seamaster 300 and the Speedie has a lot of iterations. It is the only one which has 15.000 Gauss, it is the "cheapest" , it is the most uncom...
But over time if finances permit, I'd like to get the Speedy, too and some time down the road the SM 300 (even though it's kind of redundant in my collection as I have the SM300 Spectre).

Because I have never had the original one, I didn\'t get used to it! Just like at the Jaeger Geophysic Tribute: I loved the watch despite of the automatic movement! I find a new, modern movement much more better than a simple, \'old\' one, especially in t...
The Railmaster is automatic... Unlike the original. Let's say that it is the less consistent of the three. Horologically speaking. As for the aesthetics, nothing to say... The next best thing, after the original. Best, Nicolas
that can withstand >15,000 Gauss of magnetism. So rather than make the Railmaster a faux-anti-magnetic watch like IWC does with their modern Ingenieur models, I'm glad Omega gave this Railmaster its actual tool-watch functionality with the automatic movem...
Good size, and overall faithful rendition to the original, even if I could have tolerated (even preferred!) reversing the markings on the bezel (count up instead of count down). Do they have plexi crystals? Speedmaster is nice too, but the Seamaster wins ...
Understood regarding the count down bezel; just expressing that I may have preferred the count up bezel, even though it would be a departure from history. Cheers, and thank you for the report, John
but you can use the funds for other timepieces should you change your mind. I think this is a good practice, making sure it's not "sold out" due to allocation. Rgds Raymond
it is fascinating to see the spectra of reactions elicited by the three... I have been waiting for a Railmaster reissue. I have never seen the original in the flesh, and did not even know it was 38 mm or manual wind (although I might have guessed the latt...
38 mm, you will not feel the difference. You will see, it is a very good size. A vintage watch without the vintage mechanism service worries, you said. I totally get your point, and your worries. On another side, this kind of vintage movement can be servi...
I missed out on the steel JLC Tribute to Geophysic due to time of entry and cost, and have not been impressed with "second gen" geophysic steel dial/hands/date, although the jumping seconds doesn't bother me. Whilst awaiting a novel JLC steel piece that s...
I\'ve been thinking Panerai most days but this might just break that Italian reverie. Manual would\'ve been tops. Is it at least a closed case back? Thanks, Nico! Echi.
Recommended prices for railmaster, seamaster, and speedmaster excluding taxes are 6300, 6500, 6700 CHF respectively. Trio cost around 20k but it does come with leather carrying case, strap changer tool wooden boxes, old small box for three and two leather...
I allow myself to doubt that. We'll see that in 60 years time... My Ck 2913 starts after the sligtest movement and keeps excellent time. Do I need of extoll the virtue of cal. 321? As far as ck 2914, cal. 284/5 or 6 are no lame ducks, believe me. Are you ...
Although I had expected it, still this Trilogy is a nice offering of a anniversary series, which I really like. To be honest, case sizes are quite ok for me, I don\'t mind the faux patina, as it generates a fine overall impression. When thinking about & a...
Priorities, Condensing, Refraining for something big & very nice; vs living it up, no matter what .. But for Yours Truly there are limits, quite sure ! Thx again ! Best, hs. .
