Two in the Roll, One on the Wrist - Episode IV: Berlin
20x the price. 20x the watch?

Skeletonised dials are all fun and games till the moment you have to actually read the time at a glance.
It’s an integrated bracelet, can’t be removed from the watch. Omega manufactured several variations of these references, some had regular straps though. It’s quite a pain to adjust and very stiff, but it sure looks great!
I do wear this 33 mm watch in my usual rotation and as a dress watch. It does sure look small but not ridiculous. The Rolex has a smooth bezel and therefore a slightly smaller dial in comparison to this one. I can imagine that all in all they will both wear similarly in size.
I’m eyeing a 70s or 80s Rolex Air-King 5500 for next year’s watch purchase, but it is a 34 mm case. It is apparently the best value Rolex you can put on your wrist right now if you can deal with a 34 mm case, as they can be found for $2500 and above in good condition, but no box or papers.
In my research, the 60s models have rolled links bracelets and I’m not ready to pay that money for a bracelet that can be found on a Casio. The 70s and 80s models have solid links.
I have a smaller than average wrist (6.3” - 16 mm) and can pull off my 33 mm super thin 70s Omega Constellation quartz without issues, so I’m sure that watch would work well on me. You can maybe find a dealer somewhere in your area and try it on before pulling the trigger online on it.
