At least in NYC area, I’ve called dozens of ADs and none have OP39 in stock — except for one in far NJ and that was only in grape

Wanna message me which one? That’s the exact one I’m looking for. Unless it was Martin because they just sold there’s.

Nah, no offense *you're just a range snob or lucky to have connects with ADs.

The experience of the vast majority, outside of LA and perhaps a few other US regions, is that the OP is very difficult to get.

Check the past few threads on the subject for evidence.

Stupid statement. Maybe in LA but that doesn't mean everywhere else.

I must be delusional as well, because I couldn’t find an OP (39 or 36) at any AD in the Midwest a few weeks ago. To include Chicago area.

Ended up getting a NM pre-owned in 36mm.

Fantastic watch!

Fantastic watch!

I had to go gray for mine and that was a grape one which is the least popular.

My wife got a 36 Grape this year. It's elegant simplicity is remarkable. A case of less being more if you get the design right.

The brushed bracelet finish is spectacular. One of the reasons I love my Sub so much is the brushed bracelet. OP39 is a beauty.

It’s a beautiful watch. Couldn’t agree more, the simplicity of design it just fits together and flows so well.

I really really like the OP white dial in 34mm

The minimalistic design is killer

My only issue is that the bracelet doesn't have an easy-link extension, which put me off. Having joined TRF I have found out that you can get the necessary parts to change the bracelet to accommodate the link.

So the OP is back on my wants list, now just need to find the money.

Thanks, but it's the plain white dial that appeals in the OP range, the Explorer has its own qualities.
