Omega Railmaster Chronograph 2512.52.00: Buying Advice

I too didn't know this existed! Neat! Reference number is 2512.52.00 for those who had a bit of a touch time finding it google.
For your questions:

how desirable:
The one that sold (same one sold 2x, so a backed out buyer?) on ebay for ~$3200 (FULL set + fresh Omega service) seemed to have been listed a reasonably long time. Though the 2nd time was only a month. The ONLY one listed on ebay now with a quite aggressive price has also sat there a while. So I'd say "not very desireable".

how collectible:
I would say "not very" here as well? I get a feeling this was one of those releases that no one really paid attention to. Personally, the Deville chronographs from the same rough timeframe are way nicer looking IMO.


IF you like it and it is a reasonable price, I'd say go for it! Note of course service on it is expensive (as are all chronograph services), but I think the response you'll get from basically anyone is what @TIMElyBehaviour said: "I didn't know these existed".
