@369mafia
indeed there is some lint.
But the white spots are on the dial actually.

Nice! Did you also get the San Martin bracelet? A lot of people stick the Speedmaster 7912/6 bracelet on the Rail Master since it fits both in time and with the end links. The San Martin bracelet doesn't look too far off. A bit of time on the belt sander to thin it out and you're practically there. Maybe this has been brought up before and I missed it but wanted to get it out.

Edit: And a vintage Omega clasp but those aren't too hard to find on AliX.

Well noted for the Speedmaster bracelet
I got the SM bracelet and it’s really nice vintage looking and great finish

But the butterfly clasp is just too fat. Milled clasp. Great idea on the vintage clasp. if you find one, I am super interested

I have one of these for another watch

It's not perfect but it's $7 or so. Check your measurements to see if it can latch onto yours.

Need to buy it again

Time to oil up that Dremel

Actually I ordered a handmade snake strap. That will be for winter and the bonklip for summer

Can you send me pics of the endlinks and how the bracelet ends?
Maybe i can use the SM endlinks ?

Nicely done Guy!! I really like the bonklip on it . They are a good value from alix quite comfortable as well.

I was pleasantly surprised too.
I was expecting more jiggle, but that thing is solid for the price
