Purchasing discontinued OP 39?

[Jsquared123]

More of a lurker here as of late but I did post about 3 years ago when I was debating a purchase between the newly redesigned (2019) Omega Seamaster Diver and the Oyster Perpetual 39mm. I eventually did go with the Omega and still love it despite my wrist shrinking (due to about 60 lbs of much needed weight loss ) from approx 7.25 inches to 6.75 inches.

Since the OP was my runner up choice and I’ve wanted to add a blue dial option to the black omega diver, I am revisiting the OP, however the 39 has been replaced by the 41 which I am not a huge fan of. The dial on the 39 is cleaner and the touches of green keep it a bit more on the casual side IMO. Also not a big fan of the double stick design at 3, 6, 9.

I’ve also considered the YM 37 in rhodium since my wrist is probably small enough for it now.

That being said, is it foolish for lack of a better word to purchase a discontinued model like the OP 39? Or is this more of a “just buy what you like and don’t worry about it”?

Any and all insight is greatly appreciated!
