Between these two models, which one much better on your own opinion? Need your vote, thanks!

1.) Railmaster: dia. 40mm, Auto & co-axial calibre, chronometer.

2.) FOIS: dia. 39.7mm, Hand-wound & non chronometer.

Both the prices are almost same.

I own the FOIS. Bought a Speedy Racing bracelet for it since I dropped it several times when wearing on a strap.

henrylee · 8 March 2018, 03:47 PM

I like the railmaster clean and vintage look, but I'm a fan of the FOIS.

Currently asking myself the same question. Fell in love with the Railmaster when I first saw it debut, but seeing a FOIS in person and trying it on has really affected me!

Stevec14 · 9 March 2018, 03:59 AM

I’d have a railmaster 60th LE over both I think. Out of those, I’d go with the FOIS.

^ trilogy piece for the win

I prefer ck to fois for that case size

Rb10chris · 9 March 2018, 05:17 AM

Don't usually like railmasters but that one is decent. Still would prefer any speedy over it though.

I like the FOIS much better.

Saw the Railmaster at AD, for some reason I am not impressed. "It looks cheap" is a little harsh, but some how I just don't like what I saw.

Jinson · 9 March 2018, 03:23 PM

Agree with the assessment that they are two different watches. 3 hander vs chrono. I personally prefer FOIS ... nicely done.

SearChart · 9 March 2018, 04:26 PM

I had the new railmaster in my hands yesterday, I really like the dial, it is something else.
As for the speedy, for me it's either a standard professional or nothing, I'm not a fan of the fois.

Wrist Watcher · 10 March 2018, 12:23 AM

FOIS hands down IMO. They are different watches, but I love the FOIS and don't feel one way or another about the Railmaster.

AEC · 10 March 2018, 01:00 AM

Speedmaster, please.

7Kenhinho · 11 March 2018, 01:29 AM

Railmaster. The co-axial mechanism helps sell it a little more to me. But I'm ambivalent about the strap it comes with.

As far as the FOIS it's an iteration where I think the original moonwatch is preferable.

Bgator · 12 March 2018, 07:10 AM

FOIS. For me this isn’t even a close choice.

I think I got the answer now, thanks all your helpful suggestions.

Wembleyisgreen · 16 March 2018, 05:21 AM

I love the new railmaster and I especially love it on the new strap. For Speedies I tend to think the professional is the no brainer.

What's the answer? And when will we see pics?

FatPhil · 20 March 2018, 11:48 PM

I say FOIS.

But if the choice was between a FOIS and a 2500 cal Railmaster...then it would be a difficult call, IMO

I’m looking to pick up a new railmaster. Is there someone on this forum I should source it from?
