Incoming OP for the girlfriend

OP 31 in green. I think it looks pretty good. Basic watch with a nice color to it.

I can’t decide what dial to get for my girlfriend for in the 34 or 36mm. Putting to one side the Turquoise (which is even harder to get now the 41 has gone) I’m guessing she’d like the Blue but I’m not completely convinced on that so any recommendations for a lady please? She’s not really a Pink kind of lady so that’s probably not an option either

The green one looks really good in person. It was her favorite. Also I don’t know if we just got lucky or what but it only took 4 weeks to come in.

Thanks for that and I hope your girlfriend is enjoying the new O/P

I love green dials but not sure she would so need to look at the other opinions here in 34 and 36 mm.

I’m in the same boat, and mine is made even more difficult in that I am buying it without her being involved, as it is a birthday present.

For her … I have a settled on …

- 31mm (she is small, and the 28mm I bought her already looks good on her)

this will be a work day type / fun watch, vs. the gold 28mm “dress watch”

- I am getting her the DateJust / Stainless Steel / White Gold Fluted Bezel / Oyster Bracelet (she / I prefer the fluted bezel of the DJ)

- probably (still debating / wondering) the Pink Dial (she told me a year ago that she likes the Pink Dial)

However …

my SA has the Dark Grey dial, and it is very good looking …

I love the blue dial, but friends of hers, whom I’ve asked, tell me she will be limited with a colored dial, and what she is wearing … Pink goes with almost anything.

Same with the Mint Green … which looks great / was my first choice.

PS … The “Tiffany” turquoise in the OP looks great.

Same here Tex, surprise gift purchase planning!

Definitely wants to be an Oyster Perptual (not Datejust) so it’s all about the dial/case size.

If she likes neutrals the Silver is a great choice imo.

If you haven't already, make sure you see the sizes in person.... 34 won't have the double batons at 3 6 9 like the 36 will have. Amazing difference in appearance in the flesh...

I was convinced I was buying my wife a 34mm..... ended up with a 31mm as the proportions looked better on wrist.

The green is very nice in person. In photos they are often very inaccurately represented.
