Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm Eye Candy

So I had this OP not long ago for some time back home, and decided to make few shots of it for a review. Very understated and not in your face Rolex with your tipical Jubillee, cyclops and flutted bezel. Really like that BTW, flies so much under the radar and one of 'go anywhere, do anything watches'. I know we (watch guys) love to use that term for Reversos, Navitimers and Speedys, but this is the way to go. Slim, smallish (too small for my wrists to be honest), brushed (polished sides that no one sees and ok - polished bezel) and bulletproof case and movement. No complications, hardly anything can go wrong. So here are some of the shots, hope you like them

Fabulous photos. Made me get my Rhodium OP out just to admire it. I wish I had this level of skill with a camera.

Great photos. You might have just pushed me over the edge to get this exact model. My better half keeps saying yes as well. I have never seen this deal in the flesh is whats holding me back but your pics are awesome and most importantly, helpful.

That dial is great, just got a red grape 39 and can't believe how much I keep looking it.

Great looking watch. Rolex designers are simply amazing, because they demonstrate such restraint. For people who are not trained in design, such discipline is a rare trait.

WOW!! Amazing photos. I have been considering an OP recently and this helps (or doesn’t help not sure)

Is this really a 39mm? How big is your wrist, I was thinking of a 34 or 36mm with a close to 7” wrist

Beautiful watch! And not too small for your wrist, in my opinion -- looks just right. As another TRF member has said, "you don't need to wear a hubcap on your wrist" lol!

Beautiful.

What is your wrist size? Looks perfectly elegant, IMHO.

I am not a Rolex aficionado and therefore not familiar with every model. I hadn't seen that model before your pictures - I really like it. Very understated and I love the turquoise/blue accents - very subtle and stylish.

Great watch!

Nice work on the pics, lots of pop, especially the candy one and with the colormatched rubber.
