Hi,
I also have the 41mm and cool to hear that it is even rarer
Seriously though, when I was buying mine, read all about size and 'how it wears' etc. Thought that perhaps 41 is too big as I have average wrists tending towards the slimmer side. Had the chance to get the 39 version but when I compared to it mine, the dial looked crowded. The text was too close together and there wasn't enough dead space on the dial for my liking. The whole appeal of the Railmaster is the clean design and thus 41m was the one for me. I get the urge to size down now and then, but each time I compare the two, the 41 looks right to me. Could be that I have gotten used to it. In any case, the Railmaster is a classic design with universal appeal. Unfortunately, you cannot walk into a boutique and try the different sizes. However, I did walk into the swatch group office in Oslo and have them verify my Aqua Terra. So it is worth a shot asking in an OB.
On your desire to have a collection of formal and sporty; take your time. I started the same way and over the years managed to score the pieces I wanted: PO 2500, Railmaster, Aqua Terra 2500 (white dial, blue hands), Sub 16610 (lugholes) and have a Speedytuesday incoming
. Vintage pieces are too many to list. Each of these were bought in different cities across Europe and Asia, so cool stories to go along with them. So perhaps what I'm saying is, it is the thrill of the chase, my friend. Good luck!
