How does your Rolex make you feel? Pics please
The OP39 Rhodium was my first, new in March 2017 from AD. I have some experience with RSC and Rolex pre owned as my father has a Date Just 2.
I was not sure at first if it would be an Explorer 1 or OP39. I have never been into dive watches and the Daytona is way out of budget. I love the 0P and like the Explorer 1. After eight visits to various ADs that lasted months convinced me of the striking contrast between the blue markers and rhodium dial in different lighting. Every time I looked at the watch it was different, I love that! So after 6 weeks I like it more and more. First for me is the consistent quality, direction and attention to detail from the brand. Second, this brand from a manufacturing standpoint has few question marks if anything. Third, great brand resale on a sub 0-5% and OP 15-20% depreciation overall. Being able to buy this I feel privileged and rewarded for going through life struggles. It sounds silly but I am inspired to work harder for the next one. I paid in cash and have plenty in the bank in case of a rainy day. How about you guys? |

Here's an interesting take on this thread, because I have a Tudor. When I look at it, it makes me feel like I shouldn't have been cheap and I should have just bought the Rolex! Still love the watch, but I think it will be getting sold before too long.

Its definitely a keeper, the TBB is one seriously amazing watch. I see one in my future without doubt. Nothing cheap about it, if you want a Rolex... save for one but in the mean time enjoy the beauty you already have.

Sometimes I get caught up on the whole "grass is greener on the other side" but then shortly I'll come to my senses and realize I need nothing more than this special watch. It reminds me of all the amazing places I've been with it and the incredible moments of the last 13 years and counting.
