I think it's safe to say you are back to your almost one a week buying ways Altair! :thumbsup:

Lovely classic looking piece, my man!

What size is it BTW? And the lug width?

Thanks, this is the 42.something Railmaster, they had the larger one but that thing was like wearing a saucer on my hand.

really getting a kick out of the more classic models these days, have my eyes set on an IWC Regulateur one of these days. Fine timepiece indeed!!

Nice pick up - not a huge Railmaster fan, but that does have a very classic look to it.

Well done Altair, classy piece. I like the look of the black dial with brown strap.

A beautiful watch, Altair. I've been giving the Railmaster XXL
a lot of thought lately as an alternative to the Seawolf I've been
dreaming about. I've got a huge wrist (increasing in size as my belly increases :cry: )
so I think I could handle that 49mm bulk (gulp) :?
Still got a lotta thinking to do.

Hmmm. Was that a Freudian slip, Mario? Or are you just burning
up to tell us something?? :wink:

It was an attempt at some humor. Big girls are my kryptonite :o

Green Kryptonite or Red Kryptonite (I forget the other colors :? )?
I'm afraid my attempt at humor was rather feeble. No offense meant. :)
