If it's like the GMT it has an antimagnetic iron cover you can see if you take the back off the watch.

No, not even close to the Milgauss which has an inner soft iron shell to intercept any stray magnetism before it gets to the movement..

Ummm I thought the railmaster was made to be fully anti-mag like the milgauss. That is what they were designed for... it's omegas version of the milgauss or iwc's ingeneur (sp?).

The original Railmaster that were made in the mid 1950s had an additional inner anti-magnetic case. The newer Railmaster, due to the see through case back and co-axial movement have no additional anti-magnetic properties, other than as mentioned above the basic standard required by Swiss standards (which is good enough for 90% of the peoples in 90% of the environments they are in)
