It doesn't wear any smaller. If anything, it wears larger because the lugs extend out just a bit more. I think the additional 3mm or w/e comes from the sassy crown guards of the regular production. The bracelet is lighter and more comfortable on the 3570.50 but it's about the same if you have the newer reference w/ the screws for bracelet adjustment since they made the links longer and thicker.

6.5 in wrist:

Good morning, All! Thanks for the comparison shots, MD!

The black rally strap, PERFECTION. Is this an Omega strap with deployant buckle? In 19mm?
Perfect indeed !!
I couldn't find any Omega 19mm rally strap, is there any? Heuer does have some 19mm on deployant but not Omega as far as I know.
This one is unbranded and comes from the stock of a watchmaker, so no idea where it comes from.

Btw I don't understand why Omega didn't put one like this in the set, far better than the other one and the nato.

I checked with my AD back in the summer about acquiring a deployant buckle. They said Omega doesn't sell them separately. You will have to purchase one with a strap. Together, we browsed the catalogue and there were 19mm straps with deployants available. Now, if I can just get my Trilogy Speedmaster! 😡

Thanks! I agree. A watch originally designed for the automobile racer should have at least come with a rally strap! Definitely not a NATO. Hmm, maybe the rally strap didn’t become popular until the 60’s...

The leather strap provided looks like a bust to me. Not a huge fan. Will be looking into non omega 19mm options. That racing strap is great.

I purchased a 19mm rallye style strap from @Heuerville and love it. I think this watch is meant to be worn on such a strap (or the bracelet which I think despite the criticism re: the buckle, is fairly comfortable). Haven't tried on nato yet.

Where did you have this made? Really like the look / how did you obtain the omega buckle

Anyone have an idea in comparing the the sizes between the FOIS and 60th?

I can compare with a CK2998 later. What kind of comparison are you looking for?

It's here. My OB received it yesterday, and I was there shortly thereafter to get it. Nothing like scotch and a watch to celebrate.
Nice. Waiting on Tysons corner to call me also
