Omega Conundrum...

May 19, 2022,19:49 PM
 

It looks like I might have the potential to add the CK859 and/or a 60th anniversary railmaster to my collection..Going to try both on tomorrow!!
My question to the forum is if you had to choose between the 2 which one would you choose and why?

I have also been thinking of trading in or selling my Tudor BB58 Blue, GS Snowflake, Omega Planet Ocean, and a GO Panomatic Lunar... would any of you move one or a couple of these pieces to acquire the CK859 or Railmaster 60th??..

Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated and welcomed.

Looks great on that strap!!

What type of strap is this ?

Looks awesome! -D-

They are both nice watches. I would go with what your heart tells you.

Personally I fell in love with the CK as soon as I saw a photo. In terms of the watches you may sell/trade, I would go with the PO and keep the others. However it is of course down to how you feel. Perhaps the one you wear the least and no longer get that... 

Thank you so much for chiming in!

I ended getting both! Could not resist in person! -D-

I am glad you did!

Agree! Thats what gave me the itch!!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:43
Once seeing it person today was a no brainer.. had to get it... and the Railmaster Thanks for the advice! -D-

Reuven I hope all is well!

After trying both on and seeing in person I could not pass up either. Both have alot going for them! Thanks for reading and enjoy the weekend! -D-

Thanks Nico!

I went for both of them!! Really amazing in person and at the price point great value! -D-

The CK 859 …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : May 19th, 2022-20:37
Go for it ! … Then start playing with strap choices 😬 ...  

Can't wait to start trying some different straps...Went with the CK and the Railmaster!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:46
I am thinking a NATO or cloth type strap after the OEM runs it life or I get sick of it! -D-

As an Omega enthusiast

 
 By: myles721 : May 19th, 2022-20:55
I would go for the CK. I would probably sell the Tudor as the PO IMO is a superior watch.

Thanks for talking me of the PO ledge, it has long been my favorite watch!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:48
I did trade the Tudor but ended up with both the CK and the Railmaster.. So now up to 5 Omegas so I guess i can consider my self an Omega enthusiast too!! Thanks Myles, have a great weekend! -D-

Back at ya baby!!!

Put or collection together and we can start a small Omega store!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 21st, 2022-13:19
Wish my wrist could handle the PO chrono and the Grey Side of the MOON! But anything over 42MM for me just doesnt work. But that dial on the Grey Side is amazing in person. And I love all things Planet Ocean... -D-

Even Solomon . . .

. . . would have trouble . . . . . . making this call. It's a coin toss if you ask me. ...  

Coin toss said buy both!! lol

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:49
Thanks -D-

What a conundrum! I’d get both! That’s a serious answer btw..

 
 By: Echi : May 20th, 2022-07:08
If i only had funds for it, i’d get the 859 in a heartbeat.. ...  

Your pictures of the Railmaster were when I first fell in "love", so thank you!!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:50
I ended up with both, even though my pockets were saying no, my heart and eyes kept saying yes!! -D-

:)))

 
 By: amanico : May 21st, 2022-06:11

Totally agree.

 
 By: amanico : May 20th, 2022-22:42

Ultra tough choice

 
 By: agyzace : May 20th, 2022-08:48
Movement I prefer the CK. Everything else I prefer the Railmaster, which I own since a few years. I think I would go for the Railmaster. It is an amazing daily beater and I love daily beaters more and more

Yours and Echi's pictures and post drew me to the Railmaster instantly and that want never faded away!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:52
Movement on the CK is amazing adn both Dials are really something! Also presentation on the Railmaster is outstanding with the box, pouch and straps! Omega is best in the business in that regard in IMHO! Thanks for reading! -D-

Thank you for the kind words

 
 By: agyzace : May 21st, 2022-12:50
I think you cant go wrong with either. Just consider that the Railmaster at some point will be sold out for good

Thats why I eventually pulled the trigger on the Railmaster and CK859.

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 21st, 2022-13:22
My AD held the Railmaster in the safe for over 2 years for me.. he was going to take it if I didn't... lol.. So figured might as well!! -D-

You did great

The RM is a stunning watch

Many to trade in

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 20th, 2022-11:33
The Omega i would keep. GO, Tudor and GS i would not have collected, albeit it are not my kind of watch brands. Guilty is Omega to build the best, so why need to collect other than Omega?

Well you thoughts are correct as Omega is king in my watch world and collection...

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:54
Not sure why I stray... just end up costing me money!! -D-

Sorry i sound like a fan boy

 
 By: Weems@8 : May 21st, 2022-07:53
I should avoid posting like a fan boy. While i buy not only Omega watches, it is hard to beat Omega. I have two or three i want to have next to my Seamaster. I like a Constellation with the white dial and blue accents, stainless steel. The green dial Glob... 

A bit late to the party, did you get a chance to try them on? I have both and would be impossible for me to pick one over another.

 
 By: als1678 : May 20th, 2022-20:23
CK589 is more contemporary and more versatile, but the railmaster has a lot of vintage charm. The good news is - whatever you decide you will be happy with the choice!

Thanks for chiming in!! I ended up with both..

 
 By: D-TIME1 : May 20th, 2022-21:54
In person just could not pass them up! -D-
