After procrastinating on a couple of Railmasters on the FS forum here (and losing due to procrastination 馃槨) I saw this one locally and took the plunge.

The ones popping up on the forum lately have been insanely tough to resist...glad I'm not the only one with the railmaster bug. Looks great - excited to see it in the WRUW thread.

Man o man, I was thinking about getting an old constellation, then now looking at your railmaster makes me want that 2.

Bought a healthy service bill on 3 omegas and a rusty zodiac. It's been 5 months and I've nearly forgotten what they look like. Will be grateful when they are back home and safe tomorrow.

Not new, but back from from her first service. Ever. These old watches are incredible little machines. Never serviced for nearly 6 decades; couldn't even wind it. Now, it keeps time and was regulated to > than 1 second per day. The hands are solid steel so they were fine polished...I think these little victories are things which matter most to enthusiasts? At least I hope so, or, I'm definitely doing wrong.
Brand new strap (two holes, riveted keeper!) serial number dates it to either 1957 or 58 /dork

Got this yesterday, 168.005 14k

Looks like a decent specimen, not overly polished or abused.

Date @ 12 SS 291, with what appears to be period correct "scalloped" crown and original cyclops crystal. Can't wait to get this in hand!

Not today but last week so hopefully not to many more sleeps, and yes the collection is still going through a bit of a cull but once in a while this strange weakness just overcomes you 馃榾

Get to keep the two on the left. Deville is a buddies (bracelet is aweskome) and the 30t2 is my uncles watch.
I forget this during the long wait but it's always worth it to have reliable and high quality work done on timepieces like these.
