·Wow, that's a beauty! Love the lollipop hand as well. I'm guessing you purchased it?

·Exactly. Omega have yet to make anything as good for that market segment (simple tool watches) since they launched the Railmaster in 2003.
I thought it would be fun to mock up my ideal new Railmaster taking elements of the previous gens as a kind of greatest hits, but when I finished it I realised it basically just looks like the second gen again. Oops, no wonder I bought a 2504.52! Oh well, I'll post it anyway since it's already made.
- All brushed case and bracelet are third gen. The brushed case and solid caseback are the best features of the last gen IMO.
- Dial is a mix of first and second gens, with dial text and layout in keeping with current gen Omegas. I really think a no frills tool watch should have a simple, painted dial - similar to the Speedy in ethos.
- Hour and minute hands are first gen.
- Seconds hand is second gen, only because first gen lacked lum. A tool watch really ought to have lumed seconds IMO.
