··Hoarder Of Speed et aliaStrange example at a not so cheap price.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Montre-Omega-Railmaster-Vintage/392478917185?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144
Pros: 2914 extract with correct movement number for a later 2914-2 with the RAILMASTER engraved caseback. Early 2914-2 can have a blank caseback like the trilogy 2914-1. Case seems correct . Broad Arrow hands which could be original or service, hard to tell.
Cons:
Very little description from a relatively new French seller but what is disclosed (in French) is the major issue ......the dial. Good news is that the dial is not a cheap Vietnam $100 aftermarket piece of junk. The dial plate is likely correct as it has the 1mm thickness found on the antimagnetic, earliest Railmasters BUT the dial has been totally, and BADLY refinished. Needless to say, proper replacement 2914 dials are very hard to source. I presume the lume is redone but looks ok. Service crown and missing spacer spring are earlier issues to correct.
Dial Pics from EBay listing.
Correct Railmaster 2914 dial for comparison. Numbers, Number thickness, Swiss Made and Railmaster script are very different.
