Incoming! 39mm OP.
So I've been wanting to get an Explorer to go along with my BLNR. However, most of my watches have black dials so the next option was one of the new 39mm Oyster Perpetuals. Well, I kind of preferred the style of dial and the easylink of the Explorer, but I didn't want another black dialed piece.
So I went with the blue OP. I wasn't too sure about those green markers at first, but they grew on me, and add a splash of color and originality to go along with that stunning blue.
I haven't regretted my decision, and the more I look at that clean blue dial, the more I like it and know I've made the right choice.

Nice score, it's a strikingly beautiful watch. Love the blue dial and the 39mm size, it makes for a perfectly proportioned watch. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Wow the blue dial looks completely different (better) in a real pic than on the photoshopped stock pics
