A 1969 Chronostop in wonderful condition. I have an Omega buckle (27) on the way and have reached out to steveostraps for possibly a new racing strap. Hopefully he’s still doing these specialized Chronostop straps. Here are some photos. It sits nicely on my 6.75 inch wrist.

Yes, the 36mm version. It looks smaller in person than in the pics, i like it though.

Thank you all for your positive replies. The watch hasn’t left my wrist for three days already. It took some time getting used to the small size but I really am loving this chronostop. I like how it wears and am thinking of getting a second one, probably the white dial racing version!

I was able to purchase an omega clasp in ebay and immediately ordered a strap from Stevio. Stevio is the man!
