·It is the Railmaster for me. The faux patina might be controversial but looks absolutely stunning.

·I just can't resist throwing this out there...tin hat time
.... I also like the "ugly-duckling" Railmaster non-LE......it is the underdog, the rebel alliance against the Empire/First Order😜
You'll be telling us next that you enjoy watching England-Germany penalty shootouts 😲

·I'm a HUGE Railmaster guy and own the new LE, but I gotta say, Rolex finally perfected the modern Explorer I with the correct hand length AND the luminous 3,6 and 9. Go for the Explorer. If you end up keeping the Railmaster, put it on a nice vintage-style leather strap (I recommend Bulang & Sons) and you'll have nice variety in your rotation. Having owned 3 of the previous generation Railmasters (2 39's and one 36), the bracelet clasp is by far the weak link in the chain, and I found that a leather strap really nicely showcased the curved lug case design.

·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.

·Can't speak for Longbow, but I know for a fact the Miami OB has them. Only demo's and not stocking watches.

·Right! They were demo models presented at the Omega Boutique in Hamburg earlier in the year (post-BaselWorld). You can see the trays of new models in the background and if you look closely at the lug on the first caseback photo you can just about make out the “not for sale” text.

·I'm a huge fan of the new rail master but the price is insane.
I'd go Rolex and you know the value is there.

·By the way, how do you find the bracelet on the LE?
The LE bracelet screams quality but it doesn't feel as sexy as the watch. The bracelet doesn't taper and I find it too shiny to the point that it feels like wearing a Daytona--which is not a bad thing if you want people to notice what you're wearing. With the supplied leather, the RMLE retains its understated and elegant look. I have ordered a couple of custom distressed leather straps (the OEM leather is a tad thin) and I'm expecting the RMLE to look even better on them. Either way, the RMLE will look good with any strap, much like a Moonwatch. It's an amazing piece.
