First taste of Rolex vintage! :D
I just picked this up today, I can't say how excited I am about this little watch. I know Ive said that my next watch would be a 1016, but since I already have a 114720 I decided to go for a nice vintage sub. Since I have small wrists, I got a 5508. Heres some quick shots from the iPhone, I promise Ill post better ones tomorrow
  and my little pair

Looks great!
What size is your wrist? I've always wanted a 5508 but thought it may be too small by today's standards? Looks great though. Wear it in good health.

Looks like the perfect size for your wrist - anything bigger would be too big. Great snag, congrats!
