Could this be my (one year off) birth-year Railmaster?

I’ve been waiting for an early Railmaster in my budget range and this is looking like a possible. The dial is not great, and I’d need to decide about having it re-lumed at some point. The hands look correct to me although again needing to be re-lumed. The crystal needs replacing by the look of it from the side view, I think the crown might be wrong, there’s a screw missing and there’s something wrong with the regulator - either broken or something because the indicator looks wrong and is pointing the wrong way. It’s described as keeping good time.

The movement dates it to 1964. I know Omega stopped producing these in 1963 so I am guessing it’s either a replacement movement or the case and movement were not originally married until ‘64. Could that be possible?

Please would experts let me know if I’m missing anything important - I don’t mind the condition unless it’s not worth the cost of restoring the lume, but I don’t want a redial, something that will need a fortune spent on the movement, or a fake, obviously.

Many thanks for your comments.

I guess I’m not the only one looking at this

judging from the potato cam pics... i have questions ...

you said u look for an early ---> go for a 2913 --- (i meant 2914)

the best i can say is, save a bit longer and buy a decent one. this dial will always look medicore in best case even if relumed . in general too many issues with that. add all the costs for repair to your budget and overthink.

Thank you - I appreciate it. It’s good to know that there’s a big difference in attitude between the 2914 (I guess that’s what you mean, not 2913) and 135004 models.

haha sorry i have a sweet spot for 2913 😀 yes for me the original trilogy is king so i would always go one of them. only in case you love military ones then the model you showed but with the PAF issuing would be nice.

It all comes down to price. Restoration is no problem. If you want, send me a PM. Kind regards. Achim

I was clearly way too hopeful about getting this for a decent price. It went for £4,400 to someone with a (0) feedback. Think I can do better than that.

The wait continues.
