My Basel 2019 Prediction/wish for OP39

I think a blue dial OP39 to replace the blue dial that has those hideous green dots along the chapter ring.

Those green dots really assign an era to this model. If they change to a blue sunburst dial, that watch will be a timeless icon.

It will breath new life into the OP Line.

Your thoughts?

I don't think Rolex thought they were hideous, or they wouldn't have put them on there.

I had the blue OP and really liked it, flipped it for a DJ41 (wanted a date).
In hindsight I should have kept it. It had its place and the green dots didn't bother me one bit.

I've been saying this for months now, I hope Rolex releases an olive dial for OP39...

I hope your wishing became true, because personally I dislike that green dots on Oyster Perpetual, but the size and shape really fits on my wrist.
Just didn't found yet a cool attractive dial

I agree I hate the green dots. I would of purchased that one, I think the blur itself is stunning! I instead opted for the rhodium dial.....

If rolex has you know what theyll do a 39 op in green same as the 34. They dont dare because the hulk would weep.

Same here, flipped for a YM blue dial, regret not keeping the OP, as backup.
