Although I do not agree with your overall judgement your strap looks awesome on your Railmaster. And therefore you’ve got a like. 😎

What does piss me off is that in Rio/Brazil a Railmaster LE is currently priced at BRL R$26,900.00 or US$8,100.00 (dollar tourist exchange rate at R$3.32).
....
That’s a whopping EUR 600 higher MSRP. 😵💫
I think US$ 1200.00 compared to US retail, which is not hugely significant in the actual amount, but when you see that Omega have marked up the watch at the same price as a Globemaster here in Rio...well I don't explicitly like being a PT Barnum's 60s birth child
I find it remarkable how different the MSRPs are from country to country...with Canadian duty charges however, it is almost always more expensive for us to buy outside the Country...
I find that the Railmaster (especially the 60LE version) is much better suited to a leather strap. The Explorer (like pretty much all modern Rolex sports watches) looks better on a bracelet.
I ended up with both...so give consideration for what you want to wear it with: strap, bracelet, or NATO.

Great strap/watch combination!
You should try to install curved springbars, as the end of the strap rubs against the case. 🙁
As it is now, it will certainly scratch the band and leave rub marks over time on the case.
😀
You're quite right, of course. But I actually don't mind the rub marks - I think it quite adds to the "distressed" look. Most of my watches I like to keep pristine, but with the Explorer the kid gloves are removed.. 😀
