Do you have any watch that you can't even feel on your wrist?
I was wearing this Omega this morning in my bathrobe, and later with a sweater with long, loose sleeves. As I was about to walk out the door I mentally "felt" both wrists, and thought "Hold on, I better get a watch" and went back to my bedroom for a watch. As I pulled up my sleeve, the Omega smiled back at me.

A real winner -- light, thin, watch; strap broken in so it fits like an invisible glove.
What's your "so comfortable you won't even know it's there" piece?

Is this a trick of the light or the dial is sun burst finished??? [nt]

I like these smaller vintage pieces. That dial looks amazing!
I have a few that are probably about the same size and weight as yours, here's a couple, though not Omega...
Yes, there is virtue to a vintage piece, isn't there?
Here's my most-similar watch - a gold Wittnauer
Know the feeling well, Mike . . .
. . . there's a few vintage Omegas in my collection light as the proverbial feather.

Best,
Art
Thanks Art, I know we both like this one a lot
I hope you are wearing all those vintage pieces (now and then, when not playing pool)
Cheers,
Mike

Vintage Omegas? Almost every day! . . .
. . . a Centenary's been on my wrist since Saturday . . .
. . . and there's been at least half a dozen hours of pool racked up in the meantime ;-) . . .
These are all such lovely watches, a word I don't use often
Thanks for posting. Not sure which is my favorite -- they're all nice and it's hard to pick among them.
Take note watch manufacturers -- a watch can be beautiful, subtle, refined, and elegant without screaming affluence or bling.
What a wonderful dial dear Mike!! Awesome! I love it!! Agree: some vintage pieces are so light we forget they are strapped on the wrist...
... and this Omega you show is adorable!!
I own a Jumbo vintage Omega and a Longines Calatrava style (both with steel cases of 37 mm diameter) which are also so light and comfortable!
Cheers! Abel
This Croton is another vintage
I found this watch - the previous owner had stripped off the chrome plating on the front, and I liked the look so I took it home, gave it a service, put on a new strap, and it works fine.
Pressing in the crown advances the date.

This one badly needs a service..
I recently wound it back to life just to see if it was still ticking. It did move
You knew . . .
. . . I'd go ga-ga!
Ref 14350, mid '50s cal 354? Engraved crosshair dial is icing on the cake ;-) . . .
Thanks for the added info, Art..
Now I can google some more about this piece.
Yeah, i was kinda hoping you'd chime in on this reply

Worn without knowing . . .
This U-N a pleasure of understatement and lightness. Remarkably unremarkable!
