After watching this review many many times (and many other reviews too), I bought this white 39mm version. My first Rolex. Love the simplicity and the class without the blink 👍🏼

The OP 39 is great. No "bullshit" watch. The essential Rolex.

Thanks for this great and detailed review. I was lucky to find one of these at a local AD and went home, watched this video, and then called them with my credit card in hand right away!

I love the history about you wanting to buy a Seiko and ending up buying this beautiful Rolex. Glad you have it because I can enjoy this video. Congratulations.

That was a really comprehensive review. I really enjoyed it, cheers!

Great review! Just got the 39mm with white dial. Looks understated and definitely has a vintage vibe...love it thus far, was tough to get in Australia

Love it .. superbly understated my next watch for daily wear .. yes the easy link is handy works really well on the datejust..

Great review! Answered all questions I had on this one!

The white is actually my favorite of the base models. I think it has a very clean look.

this will be my next watch. the dial color had me at hello!

Excellent review. Still in love with my black dial and just fitted a leather strap for the first time😍

That simple and perfect dial symmetry and depth of that silver'ish ivory white dial is undeniable. It also helps that it was only in production for 2 years, making it a rare piece for collectors.

Wonderful review of an amazing watch! Saving up my pennies! Thank you!

Lovely watch. Really like the simplicity.

Glad to see a new video. Love that watch!

I own this one. Love it.

I love the simplicity of this watch. Simple but really well done and quality is second to none. One day it will be mine.

Great review, very comprehensive and balanced. I am looking to get this for work and evening occasions. Are you still pleased with it and has it held up well to scratches etc. Thank you

Really enjoyed your review and thoughts on this watch, the white dial OP39 is the perfect Rolex.

The full complement of batons and the just off white dial make this the best op39 , very nice buy

Thanks for your review and insight into this watch. I really like this watch. For me, this is all the Rolex I'd ever need. I don't need a date, just a simple clean 3 hand movement that maintains dial symmetry and simply tells time well in a modest but high-quality build. And, I like the fact it's a bit of an underdog in the Rolex catalog which makes it a very different choice to the mainstream choices that are hyped up as you say. Really like the white dial, best color of all the dial colors. Can't tell in the video, but did the lume have a green or blue glow to it? I would like to get this watch because it's a modern version of my vintage 6426 Oyster Precision. But, because they are visually so similar, I have a hard time feeling a strong urge to get one at this time. If I were to get one, not sure if I want to get the 39mm or 36mm? My 6.875" wrist can handle a 39mm no problem, but maybe a slightly more understated size of 36mm might be the way to go.. Can't imagine any difference between them other than the size and proportions.

Fantastic review with lots of detail. Thank you

Great review of a stunning watch but as like most people I can't afford one so two years ago I purchased a Seiko SNXS 73 it is 37mm and only $80,have a look it's great watch.

I have the white dial also. Just a great watch. Simple yet gorgeous. I have no problems with the clasp. Works perfectly

I went 34mm and I love mine

I would have had a hard time to decide between the black version and my rhodium dial OP, with the blue pips, if it would have been available two years earlier! 😉 The OP 39 is one of the best every day watches on the market and rivals the new Omega Aqua Terra.

Simplicity that stand out among the world of complexity and confusion. Love mine so much.

Such a classy watch. Definitely on my list. Thanks for the vid.

Nice review, thanks! By the way, when wearing a no date watch, are you concerned of looking at the watch and find the date unavailable?

Thanks for sharing. I did look at this watch but I was a bit disappointed with the dial as I was expecting a pure white like the polar explorer 2 as oppose to a silvery mat dial. Lovely watch, nevertheless.

I have an Explorer 39mm and this would compliment it perfectly.

IMO the 36mm is better for yout wrist.

Wow! This is my dream watch. Nice vlog sir. Perfect👍💞

I agree with the pictures comment, I thought I liked the blue one, but tried it on... and just didn’t like it but then tried the black and loved it, trying rhodium next

I might get the 34-36 in blue 369 soon, cant wait.....I have the same size wrist as yours but like the smaller conservative classic look of the smaller ones.

Thank you very much for sharing this video, its been very useful. I still would like to see a black against the white before I go for one.

I have the same wrist size and I bought an OP 36 black dial with white 3,6,9 Indices back in 2008 from japan, hardly wore it as I bought it simply for 1 reason - scarcity. used to be a fan of professional models but as you said that kinda died down when they get so much hype these days. so it's been in the cupboard, untouched. until recent years been experiencing different straps options. I paired it with a black rubber straps and I begin to see the same way as you do. OP is such a perfect, high quality watch that dont scream out rolex, the fact that they are so well built, discrete, now with a rubber strap. it became one of favourite watches and getting way more wrist time than I would have expected. truly a great piece that is near perfection.

Lucky you....I will have to go on an undefined waiting list!

Great review mate, and I believe it was a great move to give a more simplistic dial to the Oyster and that white dial is my pick also.... it more so reminds me of what the newer Air King should have looked like.. more like the old model. A wicked buy IMO.

Thx for the thorough review. I especially appreciate u getting out the calipers.

Lovely watch a lot better than previous 2015 versions just heard of 5% price hike October so good time to buy

I am seriously considering adding this to my collection. I've never owned a Rolex and toyed with the idea of getting a Sub until I learned how overpriced (and hard to get) they were. I gave up on Rolex for good...until I saw this 39mm beauty. Absolutely everything I want in a Rolex--although I want the black dial version--and nothing that I don't want.

Great video. Been on the trigger for this for some time. Can´t decide on this vs the Datejust 41 126300 with white dial.

very nice, congrats. I own an explorer and they have many similarities.

Would you recommend the OP39 black dial over a Speedmaster Professional as a one watch collection for a while? Prices are 4600€ and 3300€ respectively.

Can anyone tell me if this model will fit an 8.5 inch wrist? Everywhere I look online I get conflicting data on exactly how long the bracelet is from the factory.

I bought this exact watch about five mos ago, except the dial on mine is black. I love it.

Was you able to get some discount?

Good review, however more wrist shots inside and outside lighting conditions would be appreciated particularly to gain perspective with that dial. Thanks.

it actually looks bigger than my hulk ... cuz my hulk has this ceramci bezel taking a way a lot of space ... this is just a lot of dial ... i donno if i love it ... or would it be better at a smaller size

Got it in black about 3 months ago.it's pure class i had a budget of 10 grand UK sterling and this was my pick.suits the free thinker types.if your a statist copy cat type then get the explorer.

Saving for the 36mm... can't wait

I prefer the somewhat more Colorful versions but the white And black dials are calling my name

I have this watch, OP39 White. Do you think it makes any sense to get a Datejust in the future? I'm thinking that the OP39 is a Datejust without the cyclops and jubilee? Am I missing something here? Can they coexist in a collection, or would one overlap the other?

Wears great. Nice choice

Unless you are a pilot, yachtsman, diver, or regularly involved in measuring time (to within a nat's cock!), the OP is by far the most comfortable and practicable Rolex you can own. As for size, don't follow trends, use common sense! If you are of a larger build then a 39mm is probably better than a 36mm. Personally I own a blue 3,6,9 dial 36mm. Very comfortable and very well proportioned which adds to the aesthetics.

Watch Hobbyist, what wrist size do you have?

i love my Blue dial but if i was to buy one now the White one would maybe the one i went for. Great watches.

Lovely no nonsense everyday piece. Understated but full of the usual Rolex quality. No date to fiddle about with and break up the dial symmetry. Low profile for slipping under a work shirt cuff. Nice size too. At this price point Rolex are offering a bullet proof entry level under the radar piece which will last a lifetime and retain its value.

This is exactly what I am missing in my collection right now. What is the market price for this now ?

This is an amazing video I want a Rolex one day my dream watch.

Any tips for when purchasing.....

Can’t decide between this and the 38mm blue aqua terra. Both are close to perfection but I think the AT is more interesting with more flair. However, the OP is much more elegant and classic as well as being thinner.

Beautiful watch. Does anyone know if the lume is blue or green?

Great review on an awesome watch ! Do you know if they're using chromalight on these now ? Cheers

INDEED!, it IS the WATCH! bar none, par excellence! I do not care who agrees or not, it is the standard all brands aspire but will never achieve! the best 3 hander ever! Gerald Genta was quoted saying he regreted not designing the oyster because it is the most recognizable watch ever....saying all that I completely disagree with the marketing tactics and luxury status that even this little piece has achieved, they were thought as well made, accurate, dependable, simple watches (in all the extent of the word), only that, not the fashion accesory they have become nowadays.

How do you compare with datejust 126300?

Real beauty!

You should have got the 36mm, lug to lug it looks much to big for your wrist. Nice watch though

Beautiful watch , proper review

One of my favorite watch. To be perfect I'll ad a date complication. Unfortunately here in Brazil it costs more than my car.

Love this watch. However, I've seen a review which shows a good amount of marco footage of the hands and oh boy, very very poor finishing for this level of reputation and expectation. I'll be borrowing an in store lupe to inspect when/if I ever get the opportunity to buy at retail.

is this pefect at 39 mm or would it be perfect at 38 ?

The highlight of that video was when you slipped in the grand seiko in for only a couple secs.

Beautiful watch but I have a Seiko sarbo35 . I love it and it was not what a Rolex cost . Lol.

Close up shots would really help the overall quality of your videos

Rhodium is still #1. The blue markers are so subtle IRL.

What about the black dial? 😍

Do you miss the easy link that much when you own this watch, compared to your sports Rolexes?

Nice quality watch. £4500 is still not cheap and with no complications I feel this watch appeals to those who want the 'rolex brand' rather than the watch itself. Take the name off and who would pick this in a line up on design only? Not many as its simplicity struggles to differentiate from from a tissot at £450. I am a watch fanatic who prefers watches that have such unique designs and still excellent quality at affordable price tags. Check out some newer brands like NOMOS and Meistersinger who have in house movements but with much more eye catching designs.

Very differing prices I’ve found for the Oyster 39mm. Online they’re selling for around £5000 when the retail is £4500. Do all Rolex Official Dealers sell this for the retail price of £4500 please?

Well, I certainly missed out on this beautiful watch now the market has gone mad (don’t believe the 2022 Rolex price crash hype) waiting list runs into years and RRP £5.5k now or close to £10k mint on grey market

After i watch this review i bought a seiko 5 snxs79 looks the same love it....for only $120 US...

This watch after the explorer 1

Who’s looking at OP39 again after the disappointing new OP41?

Yes

What's wrong with how Rolex does green? It's their brand color!

Seems these are selling like hot cakes now. There is also a waiting list for this model here in Toronto.

Lovely.

I've owned a Rolex Clam for many years... Someone told it's a fake because Rolex didn't make any Clams; only Oysters. The Clam has a cover over the dial that slowly raises at the top of the hour...hence the name... It also vibrates when the tide goes out... Which does me no good because I live in Arizona...

Shame at the price point Rolex didn't include an easy link extension. Easy link should be a prerequisite on all their Watches, otherwise an excellent watch.

Can this watch be used as a dress watch?

A bit too sterile for me. I'm very happy with 114060 as a do it all simplistic Rolex. Very well executed though but it is very annoying that Rolex gave it the downgraded clasp. It's as if they are forcing the "entry level" status on it.

Lume shot ?

Yep

hi there , hate to tell you but if you review your video where the wrist shot was done, you will find the watch is too big for your wrist. I Feel the 34 will be perfect for you. You are lucky because 1 size down is 36 and the 36 dial is not as nice due to the double markers at 3, 6 and 9. Just a friendly suggestion.

That's the Perfect Watch.

And mo the extstention link sucks ... it's too long ... u pull it out and put of nowhere you have a whole 5 mm longer... that's half of the cm.. that's idiot ... its either no extension or sub extension with 2mm which makes sense

It is... although I rather wear the 36mm.

I liked the 36mm better. It doesn’t have the off-colored dots, and with the lug length, it still fits well.
