Nice to see that this dealer is charging about 10% more than a US retailer. Here all along I’ve been jealous of the Brexit consolation pricing I’ve heard was in effect in the Sceptred Isles. Let’s hope this pattern of above retail is in effect for all of us who got in early!
Other observation: doesn’t the vendor have the dimsions of the watch wrong? He’s claiming it’s 42 mm, I think, when I’ve always heard 39.5. Just sloppy advertising?

·Might be a stupid question, but on the RM, the non screw down crown has a little more “give” to it that my screw down crown than my other watches. Does this impact how much water it can withstand or am I just being overly panicky?

·After going backwards and forwards over a few different watches I finally decided to buy a polar Rolex Explorer II. I then got a call from the Crown Casino OB in Melbourne saying that a Railmaster LE had just been delivered, and, that I was welcome to see it before the owner picked it up. So I jumped in the car, headed into town and after having a good look at the two different watches I ended up putting down a deposit on the Railmaster. Not even two weeks later I picked up my new Railmaster and I couldn't be more happy. Well done Omega!

·So that’s not the ‘57 Anniversary LE then? All OB’s quoted me $7200 for that watch. And part of the reason I was considering it was that it was noticeably smaller than a modern Speedmaster, but I must have misunderstood evidently.

·It is BS that they send out separate pieces before the trilogy sets!

·This whole set is really attractive. I wonder what the investment value of this set in a few years.

Man! I'm still waiting for my Speedmaster 57 and it's been months. You only had to wait for 2 weeks. 😡
Congrats, buddy! That Railmaster is looking absolutely stunning! 😁 👍

·I couldn't believe it came in so quick too. As I walked out the shop after putting the deposit down I turned around to the staff and said "So. I guess I'll see you next week to pick it up" and we all had a good laugh. So I was pleasantly surprised when it came in so quick.
However, I did make m first enquires about 8 weeks ago and at the time they said they wouldn't start receiving pieces till November. So it seems some pieces are getting out quicker then others. it up" and we all had a good laugh. So it was a pleasant surprise when it came in so quick.
From what the staff told me at the OB I got my watch from they were allocated 4 of each edition and 1 Trilogy set. The Trilogy set was snapped up immediately but hasn't come in, all 4 Speedy's have been bought but none have been delivered, 2 Railmasters have been delivered, so 2 are still available and I think they still have at least 1 Seamaster still available.
However, I did make my first enquires about 8 weeks ago and at the time they said they wouldn't be receiving any pieces till November. So it seems that some pieces are getting out earlier then others.
I've had the Railmaster now for a week and I love it. When I saw the first pics I thought it looked stunning but I had huge reservations about aged lume and the polished lugs and outer links, but those reservations have been dispelled. So just sit tight guys because I'm sure you'll have a smile from ear to ear when you get tour pieces.
