OMEGA 1957 Trilogy Limited Editions – Railmaster, Seamaster 300, Speedmaster’57

Interesting! I'm in Bangkok and they seemed to be out of stock, but I sent a couple emails to OBs back home, Hong Kong. BKK store did offer me a Seamaster Spectre for a great price based on the going rate in the sale Forum...

There's a new line of Railmasters with their own styling, not the 2914 reedition. If they're not on the website, they're certainly already trickling into stores

The new Railmasters are somewhat confusingly officially called the "Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster" instead of getting their own line name. That said their release was rather quiet and Omega doesn't even list them officially as a Baselworld 2017 release:

Even though they were covered by the media and proven to be a new edition for 2017

However a few have started to trickle out for review, like here:

These probably have to be seen in person since non-applied indices and brushed finished dials always look better in person than in photos, but from what I've seen of pics taken from outside the booth they look like winners.

Definitely seamasters and railmasters around.

The big Westfield boutique in London closed down a couple of weeks ago.
The problem with this store dying was that the 1957 waiting list died with it for many people.
Omega UK made no obvious attempt to pick up the list and so everyone on it was basically stuffed.
I scratched around and got a 100% deposit on a SM300 off the great guys at London Bluewater - genuinely helpful. But did anyone else lose out here?
Omega UK could have organised it better...........it is frustrating being top of Omegas Westfield list (a UK list where deposits until very recently were refused - unlike the rest of the world) only for Omega to just "stiff" that list..........

Anyway getting over my moan/panic on being left on the sidelines - looking forward to it. Bluewater said ETA at September/October :-/

I spoke to the guys before London Westfield closed and they said the waiting list was being passed over to other OBs. Pretty sure that didn't happen.

I know I was second in line for the trilogy at Westfield as I had ordered it within an hour of Basel reveal back in March.

Actually due both to the unwanted dial text - and honestly running short of funds (I bought a heuer GMT that I wasn't planning to) losing my place in the trilogy queue wasn't the worst.

But in our weird savant hobby - when u are patiently placed in a queue for some once only LE - for that queue to just evaporate is a kicker.

In hindsight I may have been a bit naive. I am a bit new to this and have been told that the speedy snoopy sales were a bit hit and miss (deposits laid at OBs and no watch......).

Anyway u live and learn
