Hi Bill,
sorry that I mentioned my valuation in numbers in the discussion about the white elephant...
If you think tis violates the rules feel free to edit my post - there was no bad intention!

kind regards
Erich
Ok the dust settled .... Lets talk about the White Elephant...
Hello everyone It has come to my attention ( multiple PMs and emails ) That a White dial Railmaster popped up on ebay. I knew about this example in early Aug as the seller contacted me after reading the following post , I am including a link to the origin...
What a story
Bill...what a story... charged with passion... and genuine love for Omega ..great brand with long history and marvelous watches ... not appreciated as it should be nowadays IMO... thank you for sharing Regards Damjan P.S. 15K indeed a bargain
yes, it was like a forensic investigation. john diethelm dug up a few documents....

I'd happily take care
of your white elefant for you, Bill. Thank you for enriching us with yet wonderful research and insight into the genesis and development of vintage Railmasters. I can easily console myself from the fact that I will never be able to lay my hand one such a ...
Fantastic story..
...I read your original post as well, and this is exactly what collecting is all about. Nice hunt, nice catch and well done detective work Mr. Holmes Btw, after John D. stopped, can I not get any answers out of Omega. They mention they have changed compan...
Awesome, Bill.
In terms of collection, this White Elephant is certainly a superb catch. Its story, and your investigation, is really awesome. It will certainly suprise you, but between the CK 2914 and this white elephant, I much prefer the CK 2914. In my very personal t...
