Watches - another OCD problem

@PJ I’ve never seen one of these before. Very clean design! I love it
-
@MTpockets I like your Seamaster.
I have been trying to find an old model Railmaster in 42mm on the bracelet but there are not many out there
-
@Danimal506 thx. Yeah IWC made some nice tool watches back then. This is the titanium version . Same watch also came in stainless steel. They show up for sale once in a blue moon.
Cheers

@Bridger I bought the 39mm version in 2009 and still love it. Really underrated watch in my opinion.
-
@IrishHeart totally agree that it is underrated.
I really like the subtle style compared with some of the Omegas in the line up.
I have lusted after it for over 15 years now.
Do you wear it on the bracelet?
-
@Bridger I do wear it on the bracelet. I originally bought it on the leather strap which was my preference at the time, but I got it serviced last year and swapped for the bracelet. It was genuinely like having a new watch and I love it.
-
@PJ I have just looked up this watch and seen that it was 2000m!
At first glance I assumed it was 200m.
Holy Scooby snacks, that is deeeeep...
-
@IrishHeart Yes, I bet if feels like a completely different watch between the bracelet and a strap.
I feel like that with my IWC Mark XV, which I prefer on the strap as I think the bracelet is too formal. However, I much prefer my MM300 on a bracelet. So, it depends on the watch and what look you're after I guess.
-
@Bridger not on the original calf strap, that is stored away, it's currently on a perforated racing strap with deployant clasp. My Monaco is the first McQueen re-issue from the late 90s, 1/5000. I love it! The lume has patina'd nicely. Sometimes I wear it on the modern Monaco bracelet.
-
@Mizmazzle Thank you! It's the 39mm, ref. 214270 with the MK2 dial
-
@Selvedger That is a really nice piece. I like the simplicity of the cleaner face. I like it on the bracelet too.
Mine is a newer more busy version (not as cool as yours).
I like it on the strap with a Panerai style buckle.
-
@MTpockets I have seen the trilogy Railmaster, and don't mind it.
However, there is something about the details of face of the previous version that I particularly like, which is why I lust for it.If I was just generally looking for a smart blackfaced watch, I would probably scratch the Grand Seiko itch before an Omega.

@MTpockets - I hear you! However, I have a thing for black dials (and denim)
@Giles - that's a beautiful piece - I like it on the leather strap too
