I've said it before. I was pretty much only focused on the speedmaster when the reissues came out. However, every time I see the seamaster or railmaster comes up they just look so GOOD.

Absolutely gorgeous. The interesting thing is that these watches have HUGE clunky clasps! For a small wrist, kind of digs into your wrist.

Hey, Friends! Could any of you point me to a photo of the leather strap that comes with the RM? I’ve seen so many posted, I’m not sure what actually gets shipped with the watch! I’m curious to see how the buckle is as well. Asking myself whether I should get something in the after market...

Don't have photos at the moment but the booklet included states that the box includes a black leather strap (19x16mm) and a beige NATO strap. Those are exactly what I got.

Meantime, I've put on my Moonwatch OEM NATO before my custom leather straps arrive tomorrow.

Hello Theognosis
Is the width of your OEM strap as 20mm?
If it is, LE Railmaster seems also fit 20mm nylon Nato strap well.

The Moonwatch ships with a 19.5mm NATO (all the while I thought it was 20mm). I was so delighted that it fit so well on the RMLE that I had to measure it.

Then out of curiosity, I grabbed the RMLE beige OEM NATO and found out that it's 18mm.

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.

Can't agree more and love the adjustable clasp.

Awwww, come on guys! Any RM photos on the included, leather strap? Please, please?

Even just a shot of the leather strap, solo, would be informative!

Here are a couple of badly shots...
Wow! Thank you so much! Those are perfect to help guide my thinking! It almost looks like the leather is sort of a suede - not smooth anyway. Would you say that’s correct? In the one photo, the keeper seems sort of brown; is that lighting or did they introduce another color on the band?

Thank you again!

You are correct in that it's not smooth at all. Chamois like is what I'd describe it. And regarding the keep, that definitely is black, lighting on my part.

Although I have no regret with the RM, I had a chance to see the seamaster recently and I was smitten. If I had to do it again, I'd taken the seamaster first and RM at a later date. Now I'd have to save up for the SM .. if they'll be available when I'm ready.. 3 thousand pieces is alot so I'm hoping...

Awwww...it’ll be there when you’re ready! You might even be able to trade with someone who’s found themselves in the same predicament, but holding a SM!
