I've been cheating on the Explorer with this one:

What a sweet watch, but this one's still sweeter!

So now these are my favorite two:

And this is just a pic of the collection, some are at the watchmaker's and the Cartier is shared by me and my dad.

I'd cheat too! That's a classic beauty Grasshoppah!

Singslinger · 16 April 2010, 01:17 PM

Great pix Kyle! Omegas and Cartiers are fine but nice to see an Orient in that collection - Orient was my first real watch when I was in my early teens (a looong time ago!)

sakuraba · 16 April 2010, 01:18 PM

Very good taste, Kyle!

Oh, and if the Explorer gets offended by your cheating ways, send it over to me!

Watchdog · 16 April 2010, 01:19 PM

Very nice, Kyle!

Thanks, Orient is pretty good quality considering the price.

Well, I would say that a little cheating is allowed! That Omega is gorgeous, and it's a funny thing that you made this post right now. The past couple of days, I have been digging out and looking closely at my Railmaster. It is also 36mm, same as the Explorer. Here is a pic:

The story about this watch is also about the same as my Milgauss and my Explorer. I got a Seamaster Aqua Terra 8500 about a year ago. Almost at the same time, I had seen the 36mm Railmaster, and had fallen in love, almost wishing I had got it instead.
After I got my Milgauss in November, I kept lusting after the Explorer and ended up with one. I have sold my Milgauss to my dear friend Shandy (Ian). I had decided to sell my Omegas, of which there are four, but I am now seriously considering keeping the Railmaster.
I will probably wear it a bit on the weekend, thus cheating on the Explorer as well. I feel that the Railmaster is also a very important watch hisorically, and is also just the type of watch I love, with a simple dial and no date.
Anyway, the rest of my Omegas will be sold, but I think the Railmaster is a keeper.
I love your vintage Omega, Kyle, and can totally understand why you would want to wear it also!
Cheers
