The Oyster Perpetual is supposed to be an entry level Rolex, but I would take this over any of their ceramic bezeled, over priced, impossible to obtain, steel sports watches any day of the week. This particular OP is beautifully proportioned and the lack of dial text and a date window enhances its appeal . It has all the Rolex DNA you would expect, but its subtle and comes without the shoutiness of a modern diver. This Oyster Perpetual looks timeless and just oozes class, imho.

@@andrewnamel9850 Let's be honest here. If you can afford an OP, eventually you could buy a Sub if you save up. Some people actually don't care about the Sub, believe it or not.

Submariners are incredible watches; they're bold, confident, strong tool watches and they are obviously extremely popular. A Submariner has become the poster-boy epitome of the Rolex brand; it's the type of Rolex that shouts, "I'M A ROLEX". A Submariner is therefore more likely to attract the type of buyer who must insist that everyone knows they're wearing a Rolex. It's a statement piece. It's the Rolex that you wear to tell others that you're in the Rolex club. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. For some people, that's part of the appeal of owning a Rolex. A Submariner can give you a feeling of pride, confidence, self-worth and importance. Cost-wise, I think the current retail price of £6,500 just about remains in the realm of affordability for the average consumer. But, I would not pay the current inflated pre-owned prices for one. I had a look earlier online and at around £10k upwards for a 2 year old steel ceramic, and I think they're too expensive. It's not a matter of "not being able to afford it" as some may suggest, but as consumers we must remain conscious of a things worth. The Oyster Perpetual is another incredible watch, but quite the opposite of a Submariner in the fact that it's understated and more likely appeal to watch aficionados. You could grab an OP, new or pre-owned, for around half the price of what you'd be expected to pay for a pre-owned Submariner, which makes the OP a very attractive prospect to a potential buyer. It's not a watch for everyone though. It truly is the definition of an understated watch, which is not to everyones taste. But if like me, you'd prefer a solid, well made, timeless watch that will go unnoticed to most people, then the OP 39 is a perfect example. If both watches were handed to me in a Rolex showroom and I had to choose between the Submariner and a 39mm Oyster Perpetual, I would most certainly hand them both back and ask to see the Explorer 1. My point being that both the Sub and OP are excellent watches and there's no right or wrong answer to watch buying. You should always go for the watch you find yourself always coming back to after browsing a thousand watch reviews online, because you can only use a certain amount of logic when buying a watch but ultimately, irrespective of everyone else's opinion, you must follow your heart.

I kinda feel like the OP is the best true-to-purpose watch Rolex makes. It's meant to be a nice daily wearer for the well-heeled person, and it's perfect for that; on the other hand, is a mountaineer or diver really going to be wearing an Explorer or a Submariner these days, given their price? And moreso given more appropriate, and vastly more affordable, tools such as G-Shocks, Luminoxes, etc.?

Forget the Submariner and do what I did. Buy a Rolex OP 36mm and the Tudor BB58. Here you have two wonderful watches for less than the price of a Sub. This way you can forget the bubble and move on. I'm very satisfied with my purchases. These two watches compliment each other perfectly! Best of all I'm still left with some change that would of gone into that Submariner. Now I'll add a little more on top and buy a watch I can get right now with no waiting list. That watch is the Omega Speedmaster Professional, I can buy it now at a discount and for my money I'm getting a watch that was used on the moon where no Rolex as ever been.

I sometimes wish Rolex had won that tender because I think they would have respected the history and integrity of the watch. It frustrates me how much Omega has tarnished both the watch and the achievement through a ridiculous number of limited editions. It's profit over brand integrity and history

@@michaelbishop9157 I agree with you.There are too many different editions of the Speedy out there that can confuse the average punter. Imagine if Rolex won that tender, how much would a moon version of the Daytona be worth? The mind boggles!

When he said ‘Singer Porsche’, one of the great reworking of the classic 911 I was gobsmacked, it was the exact analogy in my mind and how I saw this simple but beautiful watch amongst a sea of bulbous overblown submariners, GMT etc… The OP is not a step down because they’re affordable, it is in fact a step-up to a new grail🙏🏽

Great view of my style, I bought a Rolex Date back in 1991 to have a great watch, and after almost 30 years of daily use it is still going strong, after two trips back to mother Rolex for service, I have no plans to ever replace it.

I’m a total rookie in the watch buying game - put in an inquiry for the 2020 black face OP at my local AD. How long can I expect to receive a call or will I even get a call 😢 no buying history this would be my first

I purchased the black dial 36 (I love watches, but have the wrists of a 12-year-old bulimic...FTR, I am neither 12 nor bulimic...) this year to replace a 1987 Date Just that got destroyed in a motorcycle accident... And one thing that I instantly noticed that our unnamed hero referenced in this review is that, you slip it on and it is so incredibly well balanced and form-fitting, you forget you have it on. I love the simplicity of it, and while the Sub is a design classic, given my aforementioned diminutive wrists, feels like I've got a bowling ball strapped to my wrist.

Grandpa wore his ‘61 daily and gave it to me 20 years ago. I still wear it frequently. Such a tough, classy little watch that doesn’t step on your identity’s toes.

got the 36mm version with the blue 3 6 9 dial, it had to be this one as my first rolex, since its the origin of the brand itself.

I choose the blue dial 39 Over the milgauss blue. I preferred the smaller Case and simpler dial.
@ptbot32944 жыл бұрын
I would like them more if they are a bit thinner. For a non complicated watch and aimed for everyday use (lets face it, if you buy an oyster perpetual, your not loaded with stupid money), a thinner case would be so comfortable.

I've had the choice to buy a Milgauss with green dial, a black and black GMT II and this one with the Rhodium dial back in early 2017. Of course I'm a bit angry at myself for not buying the GMT II in 2017 when the Pound was weak and I had the chance of getting one at Rolex Heathrow (not foreseeing the price increases back then of course) but I fell in love with the OP at Basel World 2015 and finally putting it on the wrist later in 2017 closed the deal...

You don't ask your accountant what watch to buy, need to ask your eyes and heart. If value is "good vs. cheap' then Seiko is the much better performer. For investment simply stay away from watches and get stocks.
