Actually, wearing it in real life, you don't see them often at all.
And, when you do, and trust me I had this concern myself beforehand, it really looks very nice visually. But you can only really see/wear it for yourself, someone else's description only goes so far.
Not getting bored with the OP39, I think it's here to stay in my regular rotation, joining his mighty vintage omega and rolex brethren. :)

How crazy would it be to own all three?! I wish I did just for the change up with different clothes.

Hello everybody,

I also added an OP 114300 blue dial (8th rolex in my collection, lots of sports rolexes (gmt pepsi, gmtc black, sub lv, subc date, exp2 orange hand, milgauss gv and dj2 bluedial/fluted). And apart from my 5 digit pepsi the only watch without easylink or glidelock.

My question: how hard (apart from sourcing the link) would it be to add the easylink option to the OP 114330? Would the one of the expl1 or 2 fit (brushed bracelet compared to pcl on other models)?

Never tried before? Cost?

I think you'll have to buy the entire clasp rather than just the ez link piece.
As far as the entire clasp fitting, should fit just fine as the screws, I believe, are compatible

I don't own one but had the pleasure of trying on a Rhodium dial one. IMO it's a really nice simplistic watch but I would have preferred the easy link bracelet that I have on my explorer. Also I would have preferred all the markers to have lume.

Tried a grape on at the weekend but for me the lack of play in the bracelet is the let down but visually a very nice piece to look at
