The Breitling Watch Source Forums

This Railmaster 36mm would be my choice! I have only had it for one day, and already it feels like an old friend. I love the simplicity, the lines, the lume and the smaller size. It looks up-to-date and retro at the same time. It is definitely the watch for all occasions. The Aqua Terra 8500 I got six months ago is stunningly beautiful, but the Railmaster is the one I love even more. The 36mm size is extemely comfortable, as is the stainless steel bracelet. I have to be honest: I don't find myself gazing at this one as much as any other new watch, but when I do it just feels like this one belongs.
Here are a few wrist shots, taken yesterday by a friend on his iphone. Not too bad, hopefully give you an idea of the presence on the wrist. My wrist size is about 7.5in.




Once I get over to my brother's, I will get him to take some good shots of the watch itself. This is a shot from the Omega website, to give a better idea of the watch itself:

It does have the exhibition back, which I will also try to capture later.
This one definitely has anti reflective only on one side, so there is a lot of reflection, even though we were inside the coffee house.
Cheers,
Carl

Very nice! I agree with it's clean dial, contrast of the pointed markers, it is really stunning.
It does seem to have alot of reflection though... Any way of adding an additional AR coating to the one side?
Thanks for sharing the shots... Look forward to seeing the next ones!

Funnily enough, the reflection part doesn't bother me at all. Even though my Aqua Terra has anti-reflective coating both sides, and my Breitling Seawolf as well. There is just something about the classic look of the Railmaster, reflection and all, that makes me not want to change a thing. I might consider a leather strap in the future, as long as I can find a nice croco without the white stitching, though.
Cheers,
Carl

Congratulations Carl.

It's so refreshing to hear someone so obviously happy about a smaller watch these days. With so many watches competing to be big and bold this is a standout simply because it has such a clean, refined look - great pick up!
