Old Thunder Bird

Appreciate a warm welcome on TRF. Guys What do you think about old thunder bird with White Gold bezel and black dial ? I bought it coz they won't make it anymore. but everytime I got it on my wrist i think it's too small 4 me. BTW, looking at it overall I always like the oyster bracelet and the WG part on it.
Can anyone comment on this TB I'll try to post all my watches later .

I actually like the old T-bird more than the new TOG. Now granted the bracelet on the newer model is improved, but from a looks standpoint, I still like the older one.

Welcome to TRF A.S. I think the T-Birds were very cool looking watches, 36mm isn't a bad size for that style watch Congrats

The good thing about the older T-bird is that although they are 36 mm, the larger bezel does bring them upto almost 38 mm.

Sawatdee, Aoo!

Personally, I think the old Thumderbird is a helluva lot better-looking than the new TOG. Next to the SD, the TB's going to seem tiny (it feels weird when I switch to my DJ as well), but depending on how you dress, I think the TB has its place in your collection.
