As you may know, I am a big fan of Omega sports watches. I have an early Speedmaster and a Seamaster for quite some time now, but the Railmaster was on my wishlist for years…Maybe I was just waiting for the good one to show up ! Born in 1957, the Railmast...  

Congratulations, Jeff. The Railmaster is certainly one of the most

Come with the same patina... Tough to get one of the 277 CK 2914 PAF... But not impossible! Best, Nicolas. PS: I would love to find a CK 2013 FAP, and a 2998 FAP, too. ;)

like this one?

Congratulation! My 2914-1 welcomes yours! :) Related documents - Swedish catalog 1958, price 291 SEK. The specification in both documents states waterproof down to 60 m. Swedish catalog 1959, price 310 SEK. Price went up 6.5 % in one year... Fairly modest...  

Most days, I'm happy . . .

Congratulations on finding this grail....

...I seem to have missed its first posting (quite a few months ago). It does look very stunning with the patina - and of course the arrow hands give it a good sporting look (not too far away from todays PO?) All the best, Cheers Tony

Thanks Tony !
