Welp, she has arrived. Couldn't be happier. This watch is amazing. Perfect. Quick crap photo I took in my office:

Thanks to
@mdgrwl for a quick and painless transaction. I did something I said previously I had no interest in doing, I traded him my Speedmaster '57 broad arrow co-ax as part of this deal. I really like that watch and I wore it all the time ever since I got it 1.75 years ago. But suddenly lately, it's thickness and even more so its long lugs started to really annoy me. I found myself reverting to my Speedy Pro more often than not, so when I saw that Matt had a BNIB Railmaster at a reasonable price, well, there you go. The only downside of trading for a new watch is that you leave money on the table that you could potentially have made selling it yourself. If I was patient and had listed it myself, I may have been able to get $500-$700 more for it. But since I specifically wanted a Railmaster to replace it, I just said screw it and made the trade along with some cash. Wearing the RM now, I'm almost giddy. Zero regrets. I should have just bought the RM in the first place instead of the '57. It's the perfect size for me, it looks stunning, the domed crystal is the shite ... this is the perfect watch to complement my Speedy Pro. But I know I'm far from the first guy to spend a few bucks that, in retrospect, didn't need to be spent to figure out what I really like and to finally arrive where I want to be. Starting a vacation tomorrow, and the Railmaster is coming along for the ride. Like I said, absolutely perfect watch.
