Anyone here own a blue dial 39mm OP? I'm trying to decide between a 39mm OP in Grey or blue and an Exp1. Thinking of getting something dressier to go alongside the Polar and Sub, but still casual enough for the weekend.

"I'm actually considering getting one of the 39s."

They're super comfortable and nice looking on the wrist, these 39s. Mine instantly became my daily watch. I'm thinking of getting the grey or blue one at some point. They're like mood watches with these dials -- a bit somber at the office and then BANG when they get in the light.

Thanks. It was my first.

I'm still learning. Care to share your fascination with it?

I like it as a somewhat less common reference and being representative of men's watches of the 20th century. Of course it's a Rolex and made with all the quality and advantages of the brand. It is also the only date model in the OP classification per Rolex.

Great advert.

Glad to see this thread is still active, the 36mm OP is such a fine piece. I'd still like to get one like in this photo, not sure which one I'd have to flip, but something would need to go.

congrats! That rhodium dial is outstanding. The blue accents around the edge really set it off.

I've been lusting after this watch since Basel.

I've owned its competitor, the Aqua Terra in both grey and opaline dials. That is a well-made watch, but this is a whole other ball game. It's been a long time since I've owned a modern Rolex. I'll write up a mini review later this week. That'll give me an excuse to use the Leica
