€1000 cheaper than the AT 😁
That’s got to be a good price for anyone who was looking at a AT at the moment.
I don’t care for the gradient dials because with my aging eyes, legibility is paramount.
... Legibility is one of my highest criteria when it comes watch purchases now.
Ya agreed of the two the small seconds is interesting. I do like the 38mm size but tbh I don’t see people going crazy over these. I was one of the oddballs who really liked the denim dial I picked one up. Just something very different thought I. Nothing wrong here just nothing overwhelming. I didn’t sleep well so I checked early on the release, pretty good mock up on the leak I gotta say with they grey dial
I don’t think the picture at the start of the thread was a mock-up, I think it was an actual photo from someone who had a sneak preview.
The sub-seconds model just seems like a Ranchero attempt. Shame there aren’t options for a non-fumé dial. Not really a design element that has meshed well with sportier watches, and can’t say it’s doing better here than a solid gloss black would.
I can understand how the critiques from long time Omega/Railmaster fans, but I think it does a good job at appealing to newer watch collectors.
I’m actually glad it turned out like that because for me, it’s a hard pass. As some of you might know, I’m a huge fan of the Railmaster and Ranchero models and have featured them in various videos on my little YT channel (Favorite Things).
I don’t care for the gradient dials because with my aging eyes, legibility is paramount. I was never able to embrace this handset either and the lack of a 36mm option puts the nail in the coffin. I do find the sub-seconds version interesting as it and the 2nd generation XXL version with it are nods to the Ranchero 2990.
I'll stick to these instead....
