Hey guys, I took a low risk bet on another vintage piece. It is in perfect order and recently serviced, I'm loving the look and feel of it and it work...

Yep, the KS is so dang versatile! Yours looks like it has a slight champagne tone in certain angles too. That effect looks great on the leather. I have it on the plain black Hirsch most days, but also a shiny croc or lizard strap makes the white dial just pop

No probs man, just a little tip also...
The jubilee is in fact a 19mm fitted with 18mm end-links. I like the extra mm as it gives the KS a little more presence. The taper of the bracelet evens it all out.

I have both watches (well, an Omega Seamaster) so probably can't give a better answer than "get both". BUT, I have always said that vintage KS are some of the most underrated watches out there, paired with a black strap and it is the sharpest dress watch, but find a decent bracelet and it is a quality datejust alternative.
I've had quite a few KS and the case on the 5626 7000 (which I believe is the pictured watch) is incredibly underrated and is exceptional on the wrist. But please check the gold medallion on the back case before hand and also verify whether the day date function is working.
