It’s here: Railmaster 39 MM 2503.52 Re-Acquired

Had one of these like 3 years ago (on the same 39 mm size), recently started to look for a 36 mm as wanted to try the smaller size this time. Saw this 39 mm full set available and decide to jump on it, really a pleasure to have a Railmaster again on the wrist!

Few pictures below; how does the size look on my 7 inch round wrist?

Thanks to all! Hard to take it off a watch with such a beautiful dial, wearing it today again:



still wonder how would the 36 mm version fit me; those are very hard to source so side by side comparisson was not possible before purchasing this one.

The 36 mm Railmaster (caliber 2403) shares the case with other 36 mm caliber 2500 Aqua Terras; here how did a 36 mm blue AT had (sold upon purchasing of my daydate) looked om my wrist:





How did the 36 mm size looked in comparisson?

I really like this. Honestly gives my 214270 a run for its money.

That looks perfect. My first Railmaster was the 36mm version of that model. A few years after selling it, I tried to find one to no avail. And I think it's almost impossible to find one now. I kept toying with the idea of getting the 39mm, then 2017 rolled around and the Trilogy announced, and that was it for me.

I still love the looks of the model you have. And although the stainless steel bracelet looks great, I think the best choice is that brown leather strap.

Really hope you get even more enjoyment out of this one than the first. Congratulations!

Cheers,
Carl

I like the “regular” Railmaster too. It’s definitely a sportier piece with its all brushed surfaces and clinical looking dial, but would make a great daily particularly on a nato.
