I have had this watch for some time now. It seems very unusual compared to other railmasters i have seen on the market. For example, the back has engraved C and R , the inner dial seem to lack the metal ring that other vintage railmasters have
The movement is 286, the serial number is 20165313 suggesting the year 1963
Everything else seems fine as compared to other watches, I just find it somehow different, also the OMEGA letters and the symbol looks a little bit off the center.
Can someone help please?

I am not an expert on the model, but the dial appears to be a rather crude, unconvincing re-dial.

I knew I'd seen that "Canada Rail" caseback before.

Here's another one that @Bill Sohne called out some years ago.

BTW, Ref 2652 is a Constellation.

a honest fake with engraving C R - Counterfeit Railmaster

more honest had been: 100% C R

Ok, but the watch has a genuine movement inside and the double protection (Faradey cage). Im wondering would it be worth to get the Omega archive export for this watch.

sorry, but not a lot is genuine

the faraday case is wrong

the movement was used in Railmaster watches, depending on production year

the movement was also used in other Omega references/modells

if it would be possible to have a extract, there would be a confirmation about
another watch or if based on the movement number it should be a Railmaster,
you have a watch far away from a original Railmaster

it is a fake, build from components from different watches

Look, it's embarrassing to admit you bought a fake. And this Watch was, is and always will be a fake. Ask , read, learn and avoid in the future. No matter, what you do , it's not a Railmaster. This Omega Calibre will be in various Omega dress watches as well. But it does not make this Fake Watch a genuine Railmaster. Period.
