Arronax
5200
It's a real mystery
The latest 38 AT would need to shave at least 1-1.5mm to be credible in that segment (it's 12.36mm) and the deployant clasp is a handful, all of this was very obvious. The side by side shot in my earlier post (https://www.watchprosite.com/page-wf.forumpost/fi-677/pi-17139606/ti-1666936/s-0/t--a-few-quick-thoughts-on-the-new-railmaster/) is self explanatory. A real shame as they may be sitting on a decent seller.
Something simple for today
Always a pleasure to wear with its contained size and great balance on the wrist. If Omega could make a no date AT with polished indices around 10-11mm they could easily steal customers from the crown, unfortunately they seem either incapable or unwilling...
Nice watch - not sure I have seen you post this one before 😊👍🏻🍁
I am fully with you - universal watches, without a date and at 10mm thickness (or even better below) are a great genre. The thinness especially has left the building at most brands, as it is more expensive than thickness. The non-limited Railmasters almos...
I came across a 36 a few years back
It could have been an exp1 but I couldn't justify the price difference and the RM is the less frequently seen option so it was a no brainer.
I’ve always liked but never owned yet.
Notice I say “yet” 😀. Very good looking watch, Arronax!
Looking good!
I assume this is the 36 mm size? Unfortunately Omega have really lost their way with case thickness in their modern line-up. All the more reason to embrace the 2500 era. A no date AT would be very cool! But I guess Omegas answer to that is the RM. It trul...

Hey that’s a great write up
And super helpful side by side comparison. You can really see the case slimness of the 2500 shine through on your side view pics. What did you think of the grey fume dial as compared to solid black dial on yours? A gimmick? Or did it work in the metal?
I always liked Omega. I just wish they hadn’t gone so large and bulky. I understand the Co-Axial movement is a bit thicker than otherwise but maybe some engineering….
…could fix that. Also, I miss their elegant dress watches.
Also wearing an Omega automatic chronometer today . . .
. . . that also happens to be the first of its kind. Thanks for sharing today! Art ...
Agree especially for certain models like the Seamaster PO I have the newer GMT
but I love that my 2500 is slimmer…better case ergo. ...
