Thanks and I do too. Why buy a modern throw-back watch when you can buy the real deal? I've got small-ish wrists so these older watches fit me great and the price is usually a fraction of what the newer versions go for. This will go great with the tux I'll be wearing in my friend's wedding next month.

I will, however, likely be dumping the Hamilton I just got last week. Don't really need two watches this size and the LeCoultre is certainly the more desirable of the two, imo.

Isn't that under 35mm?

You are a big guy Alex I'm surprised that doesn't look way too small on you.

Cool piece even though it's gold though.

It is tiny (33mm wide and 37mm tall but I've got tiny little girly wrists so it sorta works. The Hamilton I picked up is 33mm also but looks ok. Anything over 42-43mm looks comically large on my wrist. That being said, I've got a 45mm diver on the way too.

In any case, I got what I think is a good deal on it so if I don't like it, I doubt I'll be out much, if any, money on it.

My 1952 omega and jlc are 38mm for reference. I think that's real sharp

Been wanting an older omega smp for a while. Finally picked one up. The sword hands and lume are awesome.
