I suppose this could go in either Modern or Vintage subcategories so I went Open...
Anyway, why does the Railmaster (in any variation of Vintage or Modern) not get more love in the watch world?
To my brain: it's gorgeous, easily a worthy foe of a or any Cage Match with the Explorer and nicely blurs the crossover between Casual, Work, Dress and Sports.
I am biased for sure because my grandpa was a railroad man for the entirety of his adult life (he began working on the Erie Lackawanna RR at 14 and retired at 75 years old) and once my dad, his youngest son, had the career results financially in place to do so, purchased a Railmaster for his father in the early 1960's -- which grandpa wore with extreme pride until his death. It was on his wrist when he was laid to rest.
His watch is 100% responsible for my obsession with plain, 3/6/9 & 3/6/9/12, three handers to this very day.
