Definitely the railmaster! It's my first Omega and my most expensive watch. I wanted something that I could wear a bit more formally (for work - i have an office job which requires me to wear dress shirts), and also more casually. Changing it from bracelet to a leather strap deployant I just got to a nato meets all of those. At my AD there was only the SM or RM, so the Speedy was out of the question. I opted for RM because it has more of a tool watch look, and I have a couple divers already so I thought i would diversify. Am now considering the speedy though...

The Seamaster!

I was happy get the last one in the Omega Boutique last week. Still in packaging. I am just happy looking at it 😀

So I managed to get the Seamaster and Railmaster at a local jeweller, apparently they were returns (they guessed someone tried unsuccessfully to flip them)... anyway, I was able to get them with some money off, and a couple of free straps.

I love the Seamaster - a great look even if it wasn’t a vintage reissue, and I know I might be pushed to afford a real Ck2913 assuming I could even find a nice unmolested one..

I’m not sure about the Railmaster yet - it’s a nice enough watch but a little underwhelming, and the dial is a bit too close to the Seamaster... I’ve got it on a tan strap so I’ll see how I feel after wearing g it tmw..

Finally! I’ve always thought its dial is almost identical to Seamaster!

Take the bezel off the SM and you have a near identical watch...

They really are special watches. I'd be honoured to own any (or all) of the 3. And that dome...on the Railmaster, BAM!

My vote is Speedmaster followed by Seamaster. I have yet to warm up on the Railmaster.

Among the three, the Seamaster appears to be a more different mold compared to the recent issues.

My vote is for the Speedmaster because that is what I got. I'm just a chrono kind of guy.

Give the railmaster a bit of time. After a while, it will get under your skin with it’s beauty and sheer simplicity. I honestly wasn’t sure it was me, but now it is my go to watch (my poor Kermit is sat in the winder). Is fab on both bracelet and strap. The crystal is absolutely amazing.

That said, the seamaster is a stunner too. Place in a collection for both I reckon.

A picture to assist you!

Tough call. If I had to pick one, it would be the Railmaster -- so simple and understated, a perfect example of 'less is more'. But of the many Speedmasters offered over the years, the Speedmaster 60th Anniversary LE is my favorite -- low key but interesting, and easy to wind without crown guards. The Seamaster was initially my least favorite but it is beautiful in its own right and is now calling to me. Omega has given us a great trio (or maybe sold us ... ;-)

I'd love the Railmaster as I stupidly sold this one last year.


I was OK with the LE Railmaster until I saw the 2500 Railmaster versions like Morning Wood posted. I understand that the LE is being true to the original CK2914, but I like the modern interpretation better so the Railmaster can't be my favorite trilogy.
