...Offered by J.B?
More information has showed up today so yes - it original was sold on BR to J.B and then to my local watchmaker.

No, it's not a good deal. The watch doesn't look nice and the price is far beyond of what would be realistic.
Thank you!

Yep - I’m already gone. I just feel stupid about asking the question
...You could try asking at "vintageure" on Facebook if it is a good deal. Or look at ended auctions on Bruun-Rasmussen.dk and decide if you find the offer reasonable 🙄
Now I know what you mean writing this. But now it’s not even nessecary

as a former owner of a 2914-1. . i agree w/ the comments here. while there can be differences of opinion as to "patina" vs. "damage" this to me is a clearly damaged dial that is not attractive to the eye. the case is highly polished. . .i think even if you got this for a song it would be very very difficult to ever re-sell this watch
Thank you for your information - I will keep my hands of it.

Railmasters are awesome, but don’t look past issues for one. Dealers all seem to think their Railmasters are the second coming of Jesus given their pricing... you should be patient and expect to pay good money, though you could always consider the Trilogy piece in the meantime

You are so right - and I jumped right into it and looked past issues for this one. I will keep on searching for one - thanks for your input.

Haha one of the famous used watch e-shop once advertise their “dirty” dial watch something like that. I found that pretty dumb/funny and made it similar.

How about this one?
It's on the way but will take about a week.
Real😀 /Fake🙁 ?
Crappy B&W pics but what can we make out?
Dial? Original or aftermarket? Promising or Rusted Lunar Landscape?
Hands original? Is the lume? Radium? Tritium? Washed?
What about that lollipop? Is it correct?
What reference might this be? Which caliber. No inside pics so it is anyone's guess.
Should I be concerned that there are better B of R bracelet pics than watch pics.😲
Hoping all the experts can help me out😁

Regarding yours, I think dial and hands original except maybe lolli.
Hard to tell if lume plots still have radium? Let us know more when it arrives?

A 2914-3 would be awesome as I need that sub-reference but I think, based on the hands and lolli, it’s later.
