1955 Railmaster 2777-2 Prototype


1953 RAF 2777-1 FAT ARROW

 

My goodness those are such cracking examples...

 

Not really sure what I have here. Haven't really been able to find anything about this brand yet. But it was cheap so I won't be upset either way. I liked the indices and there's a nice subtle patination going on beneath that nasty crystal.

 

I was outbid at the last minute

 

One more,from same seller.

 

I like those HS8s!
I got mine some weeks ago:







Last two pictures are from Wesolowskis book on military time pieces.
The price guidance is unfortunately not valid any longer....

 

Damn I love this one !

 

Congratulations!

 

And the vintage dive watch sub-collection continues to grow...

 

That's a very nice looking watch. Seems like private label / store brand?

 

Very cool - love the wire lugs.

 

I didn't technically purchase this. Rather, I received it as a gift for a deal i had been outright begging for, for almost 6 months. The seller felt sorry for me!

It's a very cool winder from the 1930's - it's a rather large case @ almost 38mm and 18mm fixed lugs.

 

Yours also has a very high issue number. Perhaps been kept unused in stock until sold to the public?
It is in an unusually nice condition!
Congrats

 

Why don't Omega reissue these watches again in same sizes. There is a great interest in these models again amongst watch lovers.

 

New arrival today Can't wait to see this in natural light.

 

It was a gamble worth

A really nice Zenith Rainbow Flyback

 

I first heard about this brand from my uncle who is an aquarist. However I had never seen them in stores until today...
From their website: "Inspired by the look of venerable explorer watches, our watches are designed to mirror vintage timepieces with modern design features and are fully equipped to both stand out and weather the demands of a modern lifestyle."

The company also donates a small portion of each purchase to the Marine Conservation Society, which was what helped me decide to buy it. Have to save the planet on dollar at a time.

Some specs on the watch:
Name: "Barra"
-100m water resistance
-39mm Stainless Steel Case
-20mm Lugs
-7.8mm thick
-Sapphire Crystal
-Miyota Quartz Movement

I am truly blown away at the quality of this watch. It has a very hefty feel to it and wears very very comfortably on both the suede and rubber bands as well as the black mesh bracelet. It also has a fantastic wrist presence while still being subtle and simplistic.

I feel that this watch is a great value at its normal price of about 200USD. I was lucky enough to find it on sale for 100USD. Overall a great watch that is very affordable.

 

Received today and already posted on WRUW.
Good to be proved right when you purchase a piece reckoning you can see something nice beneath the sellers images
