Obviously the speedmaster went to the moon and the Seamaster is worn by James Bond but why doesn’t the Railmaster get more love? I understand that the black and silver dials aren’t for everyone with the fake vintage coloring but the blue dial is as modern color wise as you can get.

Plenty of vintage Railmaster love on this forum!

Oh you meant modern?

I love the RM from mid 2000s but I dont care for the modern denim dial, or the fake aged lume.

I also like the mid 2000's version, oh and vintage of course 😀

To me, because it is:
- not dressy
- not sporty
- a watch that lacks of a date window
- a watch with a nonsense crosshair in the middle of the dial

Mmmm, that's not so bad after all! 😜

Save the crosshairs, you’ve also just described a Rolex Explorer 😀

The Ranchero is popular (big bucks) now and rare....but was not a good move for Omega at the time. I hate to say it but I think marketing has a big impact for any new watch. In terms of Railmaster Anti-magnetic is important but maybe it is not so easy for the marketing team to get inspired ...and there is a lot of competition.... of course it might also just be people are being a bit rhotacist……

I Should add that I could watch this quality video all day...… but I don't think Omega marketing would :0)

I like the new RM a lot but still picked the 2018 Diver 300m.

I really like it, I hesitate to add it to the collection only because I have the 300 M, different but similar enough for me not to purchase it. But never say never if one comes across at the right price. I really like the brushed effect in the dial and the cream coloured lume doesn’t bother me at all. I think we are too focused on it being fauxtina rather than just looking at it as a coulour used in lume for modern watches

If black dial Railmaster didn't have the faux aged lume and came with a sapphire caseback then I would 100% have one. Great size and I love the all-brushed case and crosshair dial.

I had a railmaster XXL, which was completely ridiculous in size, but geez I regret selling it.

Diving and racing cars are rich man sports.

Handling a train, now *that's work.

Reminded of this correspondence between a shiek and his son attending university -

Dear Dad,

Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad, I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college with my pure-gold Ferrari 599GTB when all my teachers and many fellow students travel by train.

Your son, Nasser.

The next day, Nasser gets a reply to his e-mail from his dad:

My dear loving son,

Twenty million US Dollar has just been transferred to your account. Please stop embarrassing us. Go and get yourself a train too.

Love, your Dad

I certainly like it a lot, and I’m not even a big fan of trains.

The watch doesn't really do it for me. the denim dial is ok but i like watches with great detail in the dials.
