Which one did you like better, and why?
I prefer the ‘Ranchero’ Rail😉 with the beige gradient dial and small seconds.

1.) I tend to prefer true re-issues and neither is truly a homage piece.
2.) IMHO Since Omega already produced the ‘57 Trilogy Railmaster, they were trying not to duplicate and thus went the ‘Aqua’ Rail route.
3.) When a watch has a clean dial (no date), I tend to prefer small seconds.
4.) Since there are no modern Ranchero pieces in Omega’s catalog, this is an opportunity to own a ‘Ranchero-inspired’ piece in my collection.

I agree. I also like the small seconds better. But I really only collect Speedmasters. So maybe after I hit all the Mark series I’ll look into those.

It's a GMT weekend for me. During the week I'm sporting either a Casio G-Shock or an Apple Watch. Work can get a little rough so something disposable is preferred. With the AW I can see incoming text messages - usually an employee calling out - with my phone tucked safely in my front pocket. But when I'm off for the weekend I can safely break out something finer...

You don’t foresee potential legibility issues with the brown one?

Nivada Depthmaster. Had a few of these but this is my favourite dial layout. Like the pac-man without pac-man.
