I really like it, I have owned all three, my dad now has the first gen. I tend to be a serial flipper, I traded my 14060 for it, I was just bored with it. I can’t seem to keep a watch. The only watch I would never part ways with in my speedy. The dial on the new one is just so nice and the blue is amazing. I love the date at six, and I love that they didn’t make it to thick. It really fits great and I don’t have big wrist nor do I like big watches. I don’t think Omega gets the credit it deserves. The movement really interest me, and the detail that Omega puts into the polished and brushed parts of there cases is a step above Rolex, IMO. I think it’s a keeper... time will tell.

My poor Railmaster! Neglected for so long, I thought it deserves a "photo shoot". Considering this watch is both a grail and a dream (I dreamed for years that Omega would reissue this watch, as identical as possible to the original), it deserves more wrist time:













In my eyes, this is an exquisite and priceless timepiece that would, if need by, my only watch.

Cheers,
Carl

I still think that is a beauty! Wish I could have kept mine. A rare watch indeed. I sold it, to get a different watch, which turned out to be a dud! Enjoyed your pic very much!

Cheers,
Carl

Railmaster today. Just got this strap at the local Boutique. First time I have seen an OEM Omega leather strap of this texture:







Fortunately, the 60th Anniversary comes with a NATO and another leather strap, both with the vintage buckle, so I can swap it out to complete the look:



Finding this strap gives the watch a great look. Great way to start the weekend. Hope you all have a great weekend.
Cheers,
Carl

Thank you! For so long, I told myself that I would never take off the beautiful stainless steel bracelet. On a whim, I decided to pay a visit to the Boutique and see if there were any alternatives. I had seen a very similar strap on one of the websites - the same type of texture - and almost ordered it. I was quite surprised that Omega actually one so similar. This had brought me a new level of enjoyment of this amazing watch.

Cheers,
Carl
