I’ve not seen that finish before. Very nice.
What watch are you wearing today (WRUW)

I think most manufactures refer to it as "Rose Gold". Looks like it is between yellow gold and copper in its finish.
It appears to have more of a patina than I would expect on Rose Gold. Perhaps it’s due to the combination with SS and black.

Here’s a watch I cannot imagine anyone with any degree of taste would ever wear.
And before you ask, neither would any railway enthusiast I’ve ever met either!

Definitely not a RR watch. Too busy.
BTW, I've recently found a couple RR lanterns, one from circa 1912 and the other from the mid '60's. Both are Adlake brand. I am using Medallion Lamp Oil. Do you have one or more?
I like the "not available on the high street!" exhortation, possibly because it looks even more cheap and tacky in real life.
How’s this for a train watch? This Patek Philippe Calatrava can be yours for US$117,750, but it’s not available on the High Street:

It is indeed a train watch but not a railroad watch. 🫢
This would be a good model to find if restored.

By coincidence I was looking through some old pics and found a pic of the Flying Scotsman
The unusual aspect of this pic is that it is in the wartime livery of matt black the idea being that it might be harder to see from the air. Pity that no one realised that it would stick out like a sore thumb during the daytime.
Apologies for the diversion.
