Just look at that beautiful rehaut.
Oops, I posted the same photo, I meant to post this one...

 

I think the biggest danger for damage for my Railmaster is wearing out the lug holes with so many strap and bracelet changes!...lol...but seriously, should I be worried? Would Omega be able to fix that?

 

Yep. They would sell you a new watch.

 

And some extra straps to ensure the new one also wears out due to strap swap syndrome.

 

Yes, I'm afflicted with SSS....Strap Swap Syndrome. There is no cure, only treatment; which consists of purchasing additional watches to make use of the extra straps.

 

Is it me or are those lugs really long?

 

Hmmm...not sure what better way to put this...but....They're perfect!

 

great looking watch, I like the crystal.

 

Yes, and I love your member name!....brilliant!

 

Well, the case is 38mm and it is my understanding the lug to lug height is about the same as a Speedy Pro with a 42mm case, ~48mm, so the straight lugs probably are a little longer and appear a little longer. However, I like the look and agree with DIV, they are perfect.

 

Thank you. I totally know what you mean about comparing next to other watches, but that is not it for me. I have no issue with the look of the watch, I think its fantastic on a table. Its just not looking like it is going be for me on the wrist. Perhaps its because I have an 36mm Explorer 1 which I love and fills the same category look wise.

 

As noted above by cfracing, same as speedy pro so defintly appear longer on this 38mm case. Had the Railmaster not been a reissue of a previous watch, making the lugs more in line proportion wise would have been super (especially for us with dinky wrists, haha). BUT, that said, kudos to Omega for staying faithful to the original spec. As such fan of vintage, wish others makers would follow suit more often.

 

If you want to see some disproportionally long lugs, check out my Admiralty thread:https://omegaforums.net/threads/another-admiralty-thread.69037/

 

That’s nothing. Check out the Zenith CP-2 “reissue”

 

I had to look it up and umm...I think the Admiralty is still the winner

 

Just picked up a new strap for my Speedy. I figured I'd post some pics as the cracked yellow matches the "fauxtina" really well. Very pleased with how it came out!

 

Very nice!

 

Hi guys,

Long time lurker, been reading those ~150 pages for the past year pretty much. Thanks all of you for the informative posts and beautiful pictures!

I've been waiting for my Speedy 60th since I ordered it a couple of weeks after BaselWorld 2017. Funnily enough, I ordered it through a dealer here in Switzerland. Wondering how many of you are still waiting for yours?

Apparently the Speedy Tuesday people are not much happier either, some of them still waiting for their pieces as well. What could have gone wrong at Omega for this situation to become so bad and disrespectful towards their customers?

Cheers!

 

Same for me, still waiting, absolutely no contact, no explanation when I call them, in fact nothing from Omega.... level zero of customer management.
