39mm Omega Railmaster A21J from TimeShops

Recommended Posts

Pohoho

This is my second Omega Railmaster, the first being a 41mm version from WI, which I re-lumed and sold here.

 

Bought this for more luming practice along with a BR01-92.

 

I shall make reference to the 41mm 21J version from Mary. It has a few plus points over the 41mm, which comes in a bracelet.

 

Likes and +++:

 

1) the crown felt bigger on this and protruded out proudly so it a joy to handle winding the watch up.

2) black leather that came with it is soft and of decent quality.

3) with correct case back, you can't tell it's a rep until someone "opens the hood".

 

3) fold over clasp was easier to operate compared to a butterfly clasp.

 

4) better finishing on this piece; area between the lugs are polished and the brushed finishing on the inward slope of the lugs are finer, more befitting a high value watch.

5) I think I got a good movement on this piece. The winding is taut which gives a sense that the movement had really good tolerance. (Or I just got a so-so piece for my first RM).

 

 

Misses:

The lume was especially weak on the indices, fizzles out rather fast. The color looks more yellowish in person so it's a turn off for me. (Had me thinking along pigeon droppings). Some of the edges on the indices are not tidy also.

 

Overall, a happy buy for me.

I love the 39mm Railmaster, very classy and original, too bad there is not a super rep og it. Also nice not to have the date once in a while too keep things as simple as possible. I have the same, Chris did a relume and I enjoy wearing it, just wish there was a version with a better dial.

@ burg65o, just send the TD a pic of what you want, they are in a better position to know if it's in the market. I googled the pics, nice but sadly I don't have the wrist for it.

 

AS90, look out for my sale thread soon. Bought it more as a lume practice piece ^_^
