KMII · 2019-01-04T00:52:55Z

See what collectors wore on the first TGIF of 2019. Featuring Omega Railmaster, Doxa Sub 300, Richeville, and vintage Omega.

KMII kicks off the first 'TGIF' thread of 2019, inviting the community to share their wristwear for the start of the new year. He features his Omega Railmaster, noting its suitability for a snowy environment and hinting at travel aspirations. This post sets a relaxed, community-focused tone, encouraging members to showcase their watches and share weekend plans.

First Friday in this fresh year and while the effects of celebrating its arrival might have slowly dissipated by now (or not), I guess a weekend is always something to look forward to. So what’s on your wrists today?

For me it’s the Omega Railmaster, with some snow outside. Just wondering how to persuade the family to engage in a Transsiberian railway adventure... 😉

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Omega Railmaster is appreciated for its simple yet detailed dial and its 15,000 Gauss anti-magnetic movement, making it a desirable modern piece.
The Doxa Sub 300 Poseidon, while hefty at 42.5mm and thicker than other Sub300 models, wears comfortably on its rice bead bracelet and is comparable in lug-to-lug size to a Rolex Submariner 114060.
The Richeville ref: 2730 is admired for its unique design, including red highlights and a Breguet-inspired dial, offering a distinctive aesthetic.
Vintage Omega references, such as the Ω ref 2667 from 1953, are still cherished and worn by collectors, highlighting the brand's enduring legacy.
The Seiko SLA017 is a highly sought-after model, with collectors regretting missed opportunities to acquire it and hoping for future availability.
The Omega Railmaster is praised for adhering to collector desires: no date, conservative size, and being a new model rather than a reissue.

Really regret not getting the SLA017 in time. Maybe one will pop up eventually 🤞🏻 As for the Omega, have to say I enjoy it a lot. Simple yet possessed of some nice details such as the dial and of course the 15 Milgauss movement 👍🏻

The old Radium style of the lume is great. Very nice watch, even more without date!

Not often worn by me but this Richeville has been on my wrist since Christmas day. I love it with its cheeky red highlights and its nod to Breguet on the dial. Your Omega I much admire and have seen one in the metal at my local AD, although I prefer it on a leather strap. Happy New Year and HAGWE to all purists! Clive Richeville ref: 2730
