Hi dear community,
I am looking for a vintage omega watch and I hope your expertise could help me in my search. I'm pretty tall (6'4) and I always loved the look of 60's-80's watches. Unfortunately the majority of those timespecies (34mm) fit too small on my wrist. I would love to hear your recommandation for a vintage Omega watch with a big dial for grand wrist ?

Vintage Ploprof or Vintage Flightmaster...I know their designs are polarizing but they are Omega, Vintage and well, big.
Or a Vintage Speedmaster or even a Vintage Speedmaster MK II....42mm is golden, imo
I've owned both the vintage Flightmaster and speedmaster (my Ploprof and MK II are modern) and found them to be versatile and wearable.
I found the modern MK II wore pretty much the same as the vintage one so I'll include a picture of the modern one.
I'm sure others will pop in with suggestions, these are just ones I have experience with either owning or tried on along the way
I have a 7.5 wrist for reference
Vintage Speedmaster
Vintage Flightmaster
Modern Speedmaster MK II (wears very close to the vintage)

If you're looking for something on the dressy side, an Omega Jumbo (2505) from the 50's might do the trick. I think its either 37mm or 38mm.
