A watch I didn‘t had on my list (directly)

My newest NWA is a watch, I didn’t had on my wishlist (directly). I wanted to add a GADA watch to my collection and got a Longines Spirit in 40mm (the one I‘ve already posted). The Longines didn’t had the right proportions for me due to its long lugs. Also it had quite a sharp edged case.

Therefore I searched for something instead of the Longines Spirit. On my list was (the tudors still are 😂):

  • Tudor Ranger 39mm

  • Tudor Black Bay Pro

  • Nomos Club Campus

  • Nomos Club Sport

  • Nomos Tangente Neomatic

I also considered the black dialed Omega Railmaster which I thought is worth a try but not in the price range I‘ve wanted to spend.

Meanwhile I‘ve checked the German used marked at the Uhrforum and Kleinanzeigen. There I found an offer for my new NWA, the silver Omega Railmaster which was offered by @norrecc.

We figured out a fair deal with some of my watches (including the Spirit) and a moderate amount of money for his Omega Railmaster.

For me the Railmaster turned out as exactly the watch I was looking for. It‘s absolutely underrated as I noticed and not as shiny/conspicious as other watches in that price range. With the light brown genuine leather strap I‘ve bought some weeks ago its also a perfect dresser in the office.

All in all it has a more than solid METAS certified movement and an appearance that is expesive and well made but not that bling-bling or boastful.

I‘m happy to have it in my collection now and to got to know Mark, who I have chatted a lot with the last week ✌🏼.

Dial texture, indices, finishing and strap color 👌🏼

That is a beautiful watch! Like you said, the combination with that leather strap works really well.

Awesome new Omega you got there! Enjoy all the co-axial goodness! Will be a superb watch for you, no doubt about it.

If the lugs were the problem, you’d want to get the Nomos of your list :)

Thats also my problem with the Nomos watches. Because of this I would choose a 37mm - 39mm model ✌🏼
