Railmaster vs Explorer?

路Looking at your wrist, I would recommend a 14270 Explorer at 36mm (w a tritium dial); would fit very nicely, and is very affordable.
Of course, yes, a 1016 would be better, but that's like saying the Steph Curry is better at shooting free throws than Lebron James is. 馃槜

路I would say that it depends on the reference. If you go the Explorer route and can't get a 1016, the 14270 would be a good alternative. Now that the Explorer is 39mm it's too big if you ask me.
Not a fan of the Railmaster 2503.52. I've read some posts of people on Omega Forums knocking the new Railmaster and then going on about this, but while I too don't like the new Railmaster the Railmaster 2503.52 is nothing special. If I were considering it's Railmaster it'd be the 60th anniversary reference. Not only does it look great but it's also a nice size.
Another option one might consider would be a Tudor Ranger. Perhaps an original Ranger if you're so inclined. The modern Heritage Ranger is a nice looking watch, but it's far too big. I'm hoping Tudor goes the Black Bay 36 route and makes a Ranger 36 at some point.

路路Oooo subtitles!Not a fan of the Railmaster 2503.52.

What is better about the size in the 60th anni version? The AT RM was available in 36, 39, 41 and the frankly ridiculous 49mm so I can't see how you can hold size against it when there is so much choice.

路Love Omegas, but when it comes to these two - my vote is Explorer (for me). Don't really have a reason....

路FWIW, I immediately notice the difference in weight and comfort when going back to my 39mm+ Rolex watches. The Railmaster/AT 2500 is so thin, lightweight and comfortable (the case back is much flatter) that it makes my Rolex watches feel top heavy and uncomfortable.

路Out of curiosity, where were you watch shopping in Upstate NY asks an Upstater?
My vote would be for the Railmaster over the modern Explorer, or a 1016 over all.

路Thanks for all the excellent advice men, I think my verdict is to hold on to my Railmaster. That's not to say that an explorer will not enter my collection down the road 馃槈
