Great post, Tino. And fantastic pictures, as always.I got my 36mm Raily back in 2012 and it will be a keeper. The simplicity of the dial layout, and its clarity, the more-than-needed 150m water-resistance, the great size for my school-girly 6.5 inch wrist

The Fratello Watches website did a recent write-up on the Co-Axial 39mm Railmaster and there were a few comments saying that this watch was boring. I don't get that at all.
Besides, it's not up to the watch to be interesting or exciting. That's up to the person wearing the watch.

It's a classic watch, one which is a nice, modern interpretation of the original model from 1957. Works very nicely on its original bracelet, although I wish it had a standard clasp like the Speedmaster and Seamaster range, but it does look pretty schmick on almost any other kind of strap you put on it. Here it is on a no-name $20.oo (AUD!) leather strap;

Yep. I can't fault this watch much. A different clasp would make it perfect, but it's pretty damn close as-is.

Classic, classic watch.
Your Railmaster looks great on that strap. As does that Ball. Nice collection!
Contact your local OMEGA Boutique or Authorized Dealer and I'm sure they'll be happy to order one for you. Best of luck!!I have a 39mm Railmaster and looking for the OEM strap that's pictured. Any information on where I get one?![]()

That's a beauty as well, Mike.
Yes, that's the same strap I was contemplating.It's from a guy in Romania who runs this shop: Bespoke Watch Straps & Other Leather Goods | Genteel Handmade
Very nice guy and a gifted craftsman.
