How do you think about this combo?
Got this vintage omega from a local seller and i am so happy with it
Case size is 35mm ( a littble bit small for my 18cm wrist but still looks good)
I designed a black rally strap for it ( with white under layer)
Do you think this rally strap is perfect for the watch?
Pls share your vintage omega if you have
thank you and have a nice day!

I like the Rally look. Omega supplied something similar fitted to one of the CK2998 re-editions based on the FOIS, the Pulsometer one I think. Here is that Omega strap on a Dynamic Gen III.

I don’t think the watch is too small for you, it’s just a size you’ll need to get used to wearing. I’m not a fan of the rally strap with it, but that’s just personal choice. Thx for sharing.

I love the watch. Size is absolutely typical for this era, and as @DaveK points out, you get used to it after a while (to the point 37mm seems HUGE).

I love the strap. The b/w contrast really pops.

What I'm personally not a fan of is the combination. I think the Seamaster, while a tool watch, isn't quite sporty enough for a motorsport direction. I'd go for something more traditional but with an edge: ostrich leg looks really good imho:

Ultimately, you'll know what you like best. Enjoy!

Great looking watch, and I think it looks fantastic with the rally strap!
