KMII's original post showcases his Omega Railmaster in a unique setting, sparking a discussion about the watch's design and its place in Omega's contemporary lineup. His choice to invest in a 'fresh' model, rather than a reissue, highlights a collector's desire for innovation within traditional watchmaking. The subsequent conversation delves into the specific aesthetic and technical merits that make this Railmaster a compelling choice for enthusiasts.

The Railmaster in a place where rail seems to have quite a future, apparently. The flagpole might have been amongst the tallest at some point but Trident Support - one of the prime players in the field - has built several taller ones since. 



And here just in case an extra hint was needed. Somehow I failed at enticing the animal into turning its head for a better shot ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I like the Railmaster! The reason why I did not decide for it a couple of years ago, is the dialโ€˜s visual flatness. Though I like the beautiful vertical brushing but I also like structure and a more 3D appearanceโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

While carrying the name Railmaster, itโ€™s actually a โ€˜freshโ€™ watch, not a reissue of something or other - and I felt like putting my money where my mouth is, I.e. not blaming brands for endlessly rehashing the old and never buying the new when they do show some courage ๐Ÿ˜‰ And I like the combination of the Metas movement, no date and decent size. Very much a grab and go, GADA type of piece. And I do like the vertical brushing ๐Ÿ˜

Did the flag give it away? No US based flagpoles in the top 10 anymore. But two in Azerbaijanโ€ฆ
