I see the 60th LE speedy as a great addition augmented to vintage speedies for collectors. It's useable and replaceable compared to the original. Also 38.6mm is a great size. I personally will pick this over ST for the case dimensions.

 

Hey, what's the Ref. of the second from the right? That would be my watch!

 

I am curious - what difference should the 40m of WR make?

A watch with a 60m WR will be perfectly suited to swimming. If it should let in water, it would be due to a fault - that fault would be just as likely to happen on the 100m WR watch...

 

Railmaster heaven jeez

 

It is not 60m anyhow, it is 150m rated, the 60m is a typo. If you look at Omega's website the full name of the new LE RM is Aqua Terra 150m Railmaster etc. Why would it be the only AT with a lower WR?

 

Funnily enough, the old red boxes are more than capable of staying in one piece - it's the later ones that disintegrate without warning

Have a look for yourself here.

 

I'm not as familiar with the 8806 movement. Does it have the "jump" hour hand feature like the 8400 of the Seamaster 300MC?

 

Apparently not.

 

Trying to figure what "jump hour" means.
Does the watches equiped with this feature, have an especific position on the crown to set just the hour hand?

 

Does anybody know what the UK price will be?

 

See here, at the 5:25--

 

That TRILOGY script and LE number in the 557 LE is a real show stopper imho



Why!?!?

 

Thanks

 

You mean seconds track.

 

It is both if you think about it.

 

Exactly. If the first position is screwed down and the second position is unscrewed (for winding), the third position is typically for datesetting. In the case of a jump-hour hand this position is typically used to jump the hand forward or backward by an hour instead of datesetting. (You set the date by jumping the hand forward or backward 24 clicks in this case.). The fourth and final position hacks the movement and allows time setting.

 

If you thought the fcked up the Railmaster, here you go, they have another shot.. (via. Fratellowatches)

 

Yep, the non LEs are being discussed here.

My comment is out of character as it is a bit potty mouthed I am ashamed to say but it was truly my first reaction.

 

I will jump right over, thanks

 

I woke up 24 hours ago and saw this Railmaster and I was slightly relieved thinking"oh, that's ugly, well, I guess my money is safe", then I saw "the other one, the LE version"....oops....near sleepless night
