Very nice indeed! What color leather strap does the SM come with?

4 x 300 in London too. Been called by two boutiques this afternoon.

I just put on the included nato strap and it looks damn good; better than I expected

So I am going to be in Miami next week. I really hope they have a Railmaster at the OB when I get there. It's giving me GAS

Longbow---how did your RM on the bracelet? yay or nay?

The bracelet is probably going to be a finger print and scratch magnet and makes the whole combo a little boring I think. The NATO is really fun and very comfortable. The dark brown strap seems to be the most harmonious combo.

The bracelet is OK, so long as you don't compare it to anything else. But it has a hard act to follow in the Globemaster. My GM beats the Railmaster by a country mile.

The Railmaster is a fun addition to my collection, but the GM is still top dog.
Some nerdy stats:-
Railmaster weight, head only : 60g, plus NATO: 78g, on bracelet (all links):151g on my wrist: 141g
By comparison, the GM on a steel bracelet:159g sized for my wrist.

Argh, I wish they wouldn't over-build these watches and make them so heavy. I preferred my Explorer II over my SubDate's weight, and the SubDate was only 135g! My 2500 Aqua Terra is much lighter than either, which is partly why I prefer it.

Surprised - the bracelet makes this watch in my humble opinion.

Longbow

👍 Differences of opinion are what make watch collecting interesting. Let us know how you feel when you have tried yours.

Today will be a scary day. The first full day out in the real world for my RM on it's steel bracelet. Maybe I will have changed my mind concerning this combo in a few hours.

So, your included NATO is black; earlier OP had beige. Do they give you a choice?

@Omegist---can you please post a side by side profile shot of the new and old Seamasters you have there....I'd like to see the difference in case thickness.

Light brown leather from memory.

Thickness comparison

Each watch comes with an individually colored NATO. The Railmaster has tan, the 300 has black, and the Speedmaster has grey.

S solesman

The 300 comes with a brown NATO.
