Yes, that's what I have also heard. I was lucky enough to purchase this watch new at a great price, slightly less than a tudor Ranger. It is a very solid looking watch that looks like it could bang nails into walls. I like the name and the fact that the railmaster has some history behind it and was designed for a specific purpose.
Tudor have a lot of catching up in getting their name known to non watch people, I've never heard of them until I started getting into watches in 2017, even then I turned my nose up at them because I saw them as a budget rolex. When I went to purchase my first luxury watch, I tried on the Tudor Blackbay 41, blue bezel on bracelet, Breitling Superocean Heritage 44mm on mesh and the Omega SMP300 Professional. The first watch I took out of that line up was Tudor. To me, it was too understated looking to be my first luxury watch. I chose the Omega over the Breightling as it felt more comfortable and looked better on my wrist. You could argue that I had to pay nearly double the price for the Omega over the Tudor, but I feel the old saying you get what you pay for is true in this case.
Saying that, I am thinking of selling quite a few other watches in my collection and getting an everyday wear luxury watch, I do like the look of the new Blackbay 39mm blue dial on a jubilee bracelet.
I suppose I wanted my first luxury watch to really look the part. My second watch can go under the radar. I think it is good that Tudor are pushing themselves building better watches as it should keep the competition on their toes otherwise people will vote with their wallets.
