    Interesting watch - dial has some age and case looks to have been polished some. Even has a smaller NAIAD crown. The 2914-6 is interesting to me as I'm not quite sure the 2914 models went up to a -6. I'm pretty sure up to a -4 and never seen a -5. Wondering if the -6 caseback is a later production by omega especially when you have watchco listings like this:

    yes have now come to believe the -5 is legit so with the -6. Aside from the PAF the -5 I believe has also been associated with the lollipop seconds hand.

    Yes, nice Railmaster. Polished, broken second hand and no inner retainer ring, but still very nice!
    But shouldn't the late 2914 (5-6's) have dauphine/dagger hands and not the broad arrow ones? And the movement no. - late 16xx should match a reference no. somewhat earlier (more around -3 or -4). Perhaps the caseback was replaced... or simply the old truth of Omega. Nothing was never ever necessarily in a straight forward order:)

    Cheers

    Points well taken. Likely story here is the caseback is a later replacement but can't also completely rule out that all the bits are correct. When found in all original and excellent condition, these 2914s are killer.
