This arrived today. The forerunner of the 2914-1 Anti-Mag Railmaster. Need the 2777-1 boss's opinion. Good or bad, let's hear it since it's returnable. Give it to me straight. I can take it.

Thanks OF




Doesn't look lasered to me.


UV Light. Lume seems to match


Tritium has a bit of glow for a short time

 

@gemini4, I've never seen a speedie like that! Nice pick up!

 

all correct, even crown and center second. serial number is in the known range. good, MoD repainted dial. came the inner spring with it? I should have one somewhere..... kind regards. achim

 

I can play with the non Speedie boys too.

2914-1 Railmaster




2914-4 Railmaster




135.004-63 Railmaster/Seamaster PAF

 

Inner spring is intact Achim, many thanks!

 

Ah, yes, I forgot who I was dealing with.

 

Looks like a good one to me Marc. You even have the internal cover spring.
Mine is has an issue number almost 2000 units later.

 

@ulackfocus, can we change gemini4's subtext to something like 'taking the Holy Trinity to a whole new level'?

 

I prefer "Hoarder of Speed, et alia"

 

I didn't install his custom avatar message and therefore won't mess with it. Besides, simple and succinct does the job well.

 

This one was sold in japan last week for 1million YEN (only 3 bidders) !

 

I think I can see why. The hands...

 

hands are fine for this Railmaster prototype. this is only the 3. example, I have seen, with the swan neck regulator. Bill Soehne has another one.....good price ! my ( now sold due to forced sale via family court divorce auction....) white dial Railmaster had the same hands. in black. you find it in the Bonhams catalogue from December 2015. fetched pittens , but the buyer sold it for a tidy profit to the Omega Museum later, where it will stay with the other prototypes. kind regards. achim

 

What a shock... you've started with a correct and fine example.

 

Without OF us Newbies are lost from the get go

 

OP nice piece enjoy... was eyeing one my self but went with a railmaster instead
