    Those outdoor shots are exquisite!! It really really does look like a CK2913-1. The dial colour is so on point and the lume too! Seriously can't wait for the call from the boutique now!

    So if you aren't using the bracelet, which strap do you intend to use? [emoji2]

    Thanks for posting. They did an stunning job on the dial color, and it makes the lume make more sense when you see it in the natural light. I almost switched to the Seamaster but kept the deposit on the RM. might have to look for the Seamaster on the secondary market in a year or two...

    I'm surprised by the "heavy" bracelet, given that none of these are large watches. Though, I wear a Tudor North Flag which wears pretty heavy for a 41mm... is it an issue or more about personal preference?

    Congratulations! Here is a pic of the railmaster a friend of mine picked up in Paris yesterday. It's a beauty, I'm jealous!

    So I got the call that my 300 has arrived at the boutique!! 24 window to pay or it goes to the next person in line. That's UK boutique policy apparently.

    Yep. Crazy I know. That's what the boutique manager told me on the phone. It's paid and I'll be collecting it Friday.

    Probably better than the 100% deposit policy.

    Ya the speedmaster... my OB initially told me it should be in August . Then I told him the forums seem to be confirming a railmaster/seamster release first, and he told me to trust the forums then and that I probably will not get it in August then [emoji20]

    Apparently there are another 4 Seamasters here at the Hamburg OB.

    Must resist! The GM and Railmaster are mine....enough for the moment.

    Will post some shots in the wild later.

    Is the Seamaster tempting you? Aren’t they reserved at all?

    Yes and I'm not sure anymore. I get the impression that there was a waiting list, you get called if you are on it and if you don't show up it's fair game for other customers. IMG_5483.JPG

    Looks like a phone call to the boutiques may be in order. Who knows there have been a few that’s been passed on.
