    For the rubber strap on a dress watch question, I assume humid climate might have prompted that question (Florida?), what about Milanese mesh? Looks better than rubber, breaths better than solid leather strap, and doesn't frail. Would that work for you, Fed?

    38-40 is good for a near bezeless watch, 38 even looks great. On a diver, 42, is good, because I like to see the dial, 40mm diver is like a 36 or 38mm diall. At least for my wrist. Only exception is fliegers, they were meant to be big. 44-48mm especially B dials. Again to each their own.

    I am delighted to hear you like Crockett & Jones shoes, Federico. This is my family's company, although my own branch of the family is no longer involved with the business. They ARE the best shoes money can buy, and it is still a true family business that believes in making the very best now and in the future, so you have great taste!

I may end up going to an Railmaster when I hit 5K (or think of a good enough excuse). As always, I love the video. You bring a different perspecitve to the hobby that I realy enjoy.

    As someone managed to run the Railmaster as a owc I have to strongly disagree with you there.
    The Railmaster gives a completely different vibe then the Exp1. If you are looking at the Exp1 you might look at the bb36, not at the Railmaster. Take both side by side and you will know the difference. The Railmaster would compare to the 1016, the Tudor Ranger or Sinn 556A.
    Dont buy the Railmaster as a placeholder, substitute or alternative for the Exp1. It just is not.
