I just finished sizing the all titanium screw link bracelet. A nice size at 40mm but wears larger because of the large dial. This is the first titanium I have owned and it may be the most comfortable to wear of all my watches. It has the gold colored 2824 engine and very good lume. I guess I have started a mini collection of railroad themed  watches.

Sweet, did you get it directly?
How was the service?

Nice watch, I really like it

What makes a watch a Rail Road Watch?

Thanks Hucky

I did buy it direct from IWW. I called and left a message and I was called back a week later. After I placed the order, it was here in two days by UPS. So I guess you can say that's the ying and yang of their service. In the old days when it mattered to keep trains from running into each other, the railroad standard was to be within 30 seconds after a week. Today, its more about the design of the dial with a 60 minute scale or 24 hour markings and clearly readable dial and hands.

That looks really nice, Edgel. How is the bracelet on it? Its got a sweet classic dial which really looks sweet imho!!

I really like Ti after getting a DI300 from O. Amazingly comfortable and warms nicely to my body heat... which can be quite hot at times!! I bet you'll find yourself reaching for this one quite often.

And I am a big fan of your railroad collection. Great stuff and a neat theme!!

Enjoy it palomine!!

Thanks, Mark.The braclet, the whole clasp and evan the screws are all titanium. The whole watch weighs less than half of what an Invicta ProDiver weighs yet feels very sturdy. I can't evan tell I'm wearing it.And thanks to all the rest who have responded.thankyou.gif
