: There IS one thing you really need to think
: about if you're considering a 49mm
: Railmaster, and that is: Do you have
: "Bluto" wrists, or are you just a
: mere mortal like the rest of us?? I'm
: 6'3" and 250 lbs., and I have puny
: little 7 1/4" girl wrists which might
: not be wide enough to fully accomodate a
: Railmaster. Seriously, I think you have to
: have nearly 8" wrists to wear a
: Railmaster, so you might want to get out the
: old measuring tape and see where you are.
: Keith's Omega Railmaster diet of champions
: is 1/2 lb cheeseburgers, and if you parse
: back through some of his posts you'll see
: one of his watches next to the cheeseburger.
: Obviously that pic was taken during a
: "training" session for the
: Railmaster.
: How's that for a half baked pun?? (;>)
ha ha ....i have just got the missus to measure my wrist, and guess what ? - my watch wearing wrist is 8mm on the dot !
i think i just make the minimum criteria !
i also have freakishly thick wrists for my 6 foot 2 frame.. :>
seriously though, i reckon i should JUST get away with wearing the 49mm railmaster however, no dealers seem to stock them in order for me to try one on.
also, i am a little disapointed that the 49mm railmaster has the stock ETA movement whilst the smaller railmaster AQ's have the co-axial. why would this be ?
