    Hi all,

    I was lucky enough to stumble across a Railmaster Official being sold for spares/repair. Whilst the movement requires intervention as it is missing some parts and not running (easy fix), I was wondering if anyone may be able to help in tracking down a set of original hands? The current existing hand appears to be a later replacement, as I believe the original hands were black leaf-style with a red seconds hand when compared to photos I have seen online. Grateful if anyone can help clarify.

    For those that know, also my caseback appears different to some photos I have seen online of identical models with the seamaster logo engraved. I did read somewhere that some earlier examples did come with a plain case back rather the Seamaster version with serial number on the back. Grateful if anyone can validate this, or whether it is a replacement?

    Many thanks in advance IMG_20220726_121756.jpg IMG_20220726_121812.jpg IMG_20220726_121839.jpg IMG_20220726_121830.jpg IMG_20220726_121900.jpg
