Brief Encounter with a ‘50s Omega

My buddy Hal and I talk watches and guitars when we hang. He was excited to show me his new baby and was kind enough to let me try it on and take some photos.

36mm looks tiny on me. But damn it looks purty.

Looks great!!

I tend to prefer somewhat larger watches, but I have a couple of smaller watches in my collection. I find that when I first put one on, it tends to look tiny, but after wearing it for several hours, that starts to change. If I wear a 36mm for a couple of days, and then go back to a larger watch, the opposite happens - it looks huge for the first little while, but then starts to feel normal.
