We said it many times, but imagine a short batch or Railmaster reissues with a... manual winding movement. [nt]

With all these picture of the Omega Railmaster " Anniversary ", what about a picture of the original CK 2914?
One of my best shots. And one of the prides of my collection, too. Best, Nicolas ...
The original always remain as Crown Jewel of Omega.
These are small treasure to own. Thanks for posting. Regards
Great photo!
Makes you want to take a vacation to the ocean or in my case a Great Lake! Enjoy the week! -D-
When it comes to tool watch design, nothing beats . . .
. . . a vintage Rail. Not even . . . . . . a modern one. ;-) ...
I hope The Powers That Be at Ω . . .
. . . are paying attention. There would be at least half a dozen community members that would commit to a cal 8929 Rail.
Since the second most desirable Rail has the letters P. A. F. engraved . . .
. . . on a movement bridge, maybe we should ask for W. P. S. 🤔
The white Rail should be the most desirable . . .
[photo and watch credit: Bill Sohne, WPS 2008] . . . given there are fewer accounted for than you have fingers on one hand. ;-) ...
Ah, capisci! . . .
. . . and to think there are just a handful of known examples . . .
I know of another besides the ones we posted . . .
. . . which makes three. Pretty rare, huh? ;-)
Not sure 'bout that, Nicolas. If we were able to convince Omega to make a special edition for us . . .
. . . why couldn't we specify a white dial? We should be able to accommodate an order of at least a hundred Rails if The Powers That Be would agree to produce a white dial similar to the prototypes we just posted. Art
Since there were a handful of white Rails produced . . .
. . . perhaps Omega would at least consider the notion. I understand that a large manufacturer like Omega has a brand image they need to preserve, so the situation isn't quite the same as it would be for a smaller manufacturer. But it couldn't hurt to ask...
