[@byrong1561]

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.

[@pasquale78]

@@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. I like the Sub, but everyone has one. Therefore I would rather take an Explorer 39mm, which is not that much more expensive than an OP.

Got really lucky and walked into a Rolex boutique to browse the day after they received a black dial 39mm OP like the one featured. Snapped it up in an instant. The sunburst on the dial when the light hits it right is absolutely stunning, especially for a black-dialed watch. It also has the benefit of only drawing the attention of those who appreciate the watches themselves, not a flashy piece of branding.

Get it and finally go home.

Get a Seiko or similar and start living. I got my first Rolex when I was 19. but that was back in 1991, so I had still money left to life live.

39mm blue sunburst dial without a doubt. When the outdoor light catches the dial the effect is incredible.

[@cheesecrumpets]

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.

[@solicitor6268]

I bought my OP39 last year, black dial. I am beyond happy about it, it has this understated style and elegance I had been seeking for a long time.

The OP is porbably my favourite Rolex, or more precisely, the only one I do fancy owning. The ones who dream of the Submariner never had it so hard: the BMW 3 series prices have shot up, Armani had raised its prices, and diamonds for their ear-pieces now cost 50% more than 10 years ago. Its a tough life for Submariner-man.

Two things struck me as I watched this vid: 1) the script's main thrust on 'nostalgia' and 'experience', which register with me more than on any of the other watches; and 2) the attendant, slightly more breathy vocal quality that goes with 1)... intriguing and, dare I say, even sexy

To buy one is a big decision if you really desire a Submariner. I didn’t desire a Submariner and bought the blue dial Oyster Perpetual two years ago.

I’ve owned the white OP 39 for 3 months now and it has been on my wrist majority of the week. Maybe it has to do with the simplicity of the dial or how comfortable it is on my 6.5 in wrist. Or maybe it has something to do with knowing that I did not pay an arm and a leg to have a luxury timepiece. Either way, this watch for me presents the best value Rolex in the market right now.

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.?

[@angelos6817]

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.

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.

Daniel Meier oh that’s a beautiful watch! Congrats.

[@SarunSahadevan]

That’s a stunning watch 👍🏾👍🏾

I choose the blue dial 39 Over the milgauss blue. I preferred the smaller Case and simpler dial.

[@ptbot3294]

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...

I love the rounded bezel and sunburst dial, which is keeping me from not getting the explorer!

[@AJ-bi6ns]

Just purchased a SD43 but wanting an OP or DJ sometime in the future for a more subdued work watch. Love the straight hands on the OP but would miss the date

[@kehrin]

That Singer comparison came out of nowhere and I love it.

[@edtollway3730]

Couldn't agree more. Spot on. Thanks for rooting for the simple but simply perfect OP.

[@comeonman7423]

Question is 34mm or 36mm? Black dial or white dial?

[@m.e.p.r]

Now discontinued, with the white dial selling for £6K+ on the secondhand market. Already a vintage piece.

[@alvinkoh5556]

To me the oyster perpetual is simply a Seiko with a Rolex logo.

Alvin is just a dumbass

[@rousseau327]

This is such a shit POV, there’s no other words to say

[@alvinkoh5556]

Kenneth Lim and you are a smart Alec and a rude bitch! Fuck off!

[@alvinkoh5556]

ewt415 then keep quiet.

[@alvinkoh5556]

Ffff Scala yeah, but you pay through your nose for this so called “ beautiful seiko”.

[@myyord7963]

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.
