Hi Nico, a hybrid watch?
By: ztirual : October 20th, 2012-12:00
Seamaster dial in Railmaster case? What's the story? It looks like it is a watch that has had a rich life. best Z'
Tssssss, Ztirual!
By: amanico : October 20th, 2012-12:03
you know the story. One picture to help you to remind it: Got it, now? ;) Best, Nicolas ...
Damn Nico!
By: ztirual : October 20th, 2012-12:10
I can't believe it, it is the second time that you have conned me with this PAF (participation aux frais)! Very nice catch btw! Best Z'
Nicolas, the crown of your PAF
By: ztirual : October 20th, 2012-12:21
does it have a star logo within the Omega logo? Diificult to see from your picture. I (also?) happen to have 2 of my watches with that feature. I asked in this forum and elsewhere about the meaning/ significance of that detail but the jury is still out. A...
The little Y in the Omega crown
By: Franco : October 20th, 2012-15:19
Hello from research done in the italian forum "Orolgi e passioni", that Y symbol has been used by a particular crown manufacturer in the years 1956/1957 to 1959/1960. More than this I have never heard. Another peculiarity of the Naiad is that the very ini...
I agree with Franco
By: MSNWatch : October 20th, 2012-15:41
A long time ago I was fortunate enough to obtain several 6mm omega NAIAD crowns and initially thought they were wrong as they were smaller than I though was the right size. Good thing I held on to them as I have since found out they are correct for the ea...
Nico, I find ....

... that we have many watches in common. I guess it is because your collection is absolutely huge, so the statistical odds for correspondence is very high in one sense ( F to N, not N to F). Next time I'll be in Paris, I'll make sure we plan properly the ...
precious info, thanks Franco
By: ztirual : October 21st, 2012-12:11
You write: "Another peculiarity of the Naiad is that the very initial 2915 chronograph, 2913 and 2914 instead of the classic 6.7 mm x 3.3 Naiad, used a smaller one (6.0/6.1 x 3.0/3.1 mm) signed Naiad ." If I understand correctly, the Y sign is likely to b...
I don't understand
By: Franco : October 22nd, 2012-04:27
Perhaps it is easier with an example. Let's say that Omega produced 10 watches of the 2913, 2915, 2914 series each year from 1955 to 1961. Most of these had the smaller crown of the naiad type ( 10 in the first year, 7-8 the last year) Some of these came ...
Thanks, Franco

We are on the same wave length. Thanks for confirming/ clarifying. Best regards- Z'
Hi mrsnak, I can understand why it
By: ztirual : October 20th, 2012-12:07
is a favourite of yours. A sturdy yet eleagnt and lively watch. Very close to the spirit of the original, yet different when it comes to case size (yet, not the big version?) hands, lumes and caliber (did the coaxial manage to make it into he Railmaster l...
Rails are the one Omega . . .
By: Dr No : October 20th, 2012-13:20
. . . where vintage models (like yours) and modern issues (like Kurt's) are equally appreciated by yours truly. Of course, the vintage Railmaster has a cachet that current models can't approach, but they were for the longest time my favorite current offer...
Interesting news, Art
By: ztirual : October 20th, 2012-14:30
many thanks for chipping in. Let me first tell you that that Railmaster was a stunner on your wrist. I mean a perfect match! I am also a fan of Zenith, so I understand... but again I can understand why you had a hard and long look contemplating getting of...
here are a few incl. the military versions:::::::::
By: watch.out1 : October 20th, 2012-16:11

You' re treating us Achim!
By: ztirual : October 21st, 2012-02:55
Such a variety! I expected a Flightmaster to pop up. But I did not know of that 12 hour white dial with sword hands. Could you tell us more about that one? i vaguely remember an article of our dear Moderator about one of his rare finds, also a white diale...
Great thread!

By: ztirual : October 21st, 2012-13:36
Thanks for the compliment. Such a wonderful piece you have there too. The radium is really coming, beaming out of your watch. A watch with wonderful balance between strength and elegance! Best Z'
Hi Graham

I am sure you have already presented this white dial automatic Railmaster of yours on this forum, but would you mind writing a few words or referring to a previous post? In advance thank you. Of your 2 'modern' Railmaster, which one do you prefer? The sma...
Hi Z, I havent said...
By: G99 : October 21st, 2012-14:06
Hi Z, I havent said very much about the white dial before as i had sold it before i joined the forum so no posts to link to it. All i can say is that it is a 1965 automatic version which means that the railmaster handwind we all love (and still want) must...
Gosh! 49,2mm. Talk about presence on the wrist!
By: ztirual : October 22nd, 2012-12:09
Thanks for sharing your preference and for the extra info about that 65' automatic. I hope the 49,2mm has a see-through back. Such a spectacle that must be! Best. Z'
Mmmmmh! Magni-ficent!
