hey guys. Just picked up my anniversary railmaster today and wanted to share some photos. Happy to answer any questions too (I didn't see a threat for this yet, apologies if there is one already)
Beautiful mate, just beautiful! This for me is the pick of the 60th anniversary LE litter and the one I'm hoping to be able to pick up eventually once I've financially recovered from the ST LE. I hadn't seen that clasp shot before either and I love it, just such a clean and uncluttered watch that looks the superb.
Thanks! It is both my first Omega and my first time buying a brand new watch and my first 'impulse' watch buy. So far I am really happy with it. The clasp is rock solid (especially coming from that older rolex bracelet) i should take another photo, they did this high polish beveled edge, it is a nice touch.
a pretty damn sweet club to be a member of and speaking of sweet, love your photos. what's your favorite strap so far?
They look really great. Congrats I think even with a lot of wear and marks it will add to the look. How's it wear to your explorer II.
just my day one impression but wears similar yet different. diameter on the RM is touch smaller but feels similar due to less bezel than the exp2 lug to lug feels/looks longer than the exp2 (havnt actualy measured) RM also is sits tall on the wrist than the exp2. oh and RM is heavier. not at bad weight just a bit more heft than exp2.. probably due to the exp2 having hallow center links in the bracelet. all in all the RM is a very comfortable watch and if you can wear a exp2 you can wear this just fine.. so i stand by my "similar but different"
Beautiful watch. I don't seem to find anywhere what the lug to lug measurement is. So does anyone know? Cheers.
Every time I see shots of the RM I fall a little more in love with it. Awesome to see shots in natural light. Such a cool watch. It's crazy how much the dial color seems to change in different light and at extreme angles. Really hoping once my speedy shows up I'm still happy with my decision. How are you guys liking the bracelet for comfort?
Looks great. It is not "too shiny" as some described when it first came out. Unfortunately still waiting for mine to come through in the US.
I really like the bracelet. First time having a bracelet that has solid end links and solid center links and a clasp with micro adjustments. The sum of those parts plus the flat links has proven super comfy on my wrist.
Not too shiny, but def shiny. The flat links and the combination of high polished outer links and bushed center creates a quasi similar effect to the royal oak bracelet in how it catches light (in direct light). here is a quick video of bracelet rotation https://www.instagram.com/p/BYO3FhzhK7Y/
