Hey Forum!

I was wondering if any one of you have a 36mm and/or 39mm Oyster Perpetual? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them and pictures are welcome

Jack T · 17 August 2015, 09:55 PM

This 36mm is one of my favorites, the current dial selections just don't do it for me. Photo is from some site, not sure where.

joe100 · 17 August 2015, 09:58 PM

I think there are a couple long threads on them already

Jef_ · 17 August 2015, 10:43 PM

Thanks for your comment. I had done a search and found a couple of threads on the 36mm, but only one on the 39mm with only one or two pictures.

Tried on the purple 39mm today (never grabbed a shot as it was at an AD and there was plastic on the watch)

I was shocked on how light it felt. I know I have been wearing a lot of PM and the YM II but was not expecting to to feel light. The good news is it would be uber comfortable:)

Loving this at the moment, although it's the same size as my 114270 Explorer (Z) - it seems to have a 'bigger' presence on the wrist.
Comfortable to wear, it;s my daily at the mo ;)

I was just going to say that

Blingtone · 17 August 2015, 11:50 PM

Thanks cht got them from a trusted seller on here.
Main difference is with the lume - all the indices 'lume up' apart from the Coronet (obviously).

The 39mm OP was released at Basel this year so you may not see too many ownership pictures just yet. Here's my 36mm OP Steel. Love everything about it. Simplicity, sunburst dial, modern upgrades, square lugs make it look sturdier on the wrist albeit 36mm. Lastly, it looks fantastic with a suit or T-shirt.

nice job, looks like the perfect watch to me!

HogwldFLTR · 18 August 2015, 06:50 AM

36 and 39mm are both wonderful watches; I'm not so enthusiastic about the current choices for the 39mm dial. For now I'm sticking with my 36mm. It is my second having sold the first thinking it wasn't good enough and realizing how great it really was, got a replacement.

Check out the owner's thread as well.

I love that silver dial with double sticks at 3/6/9. If they put that dial on the 39mm I'm all in.

JeremyS · 18 August 2015, 08:15 AM

I like the lug shape on the new 39mm. However, I'm not a fan of the dials. Looking directly at the new 39mm dials, the markers all seem to disappear with the exception of the 3-6-9.

rusty427 · 24 August 2015, 07:16 AM

36mm explorer mod here too.
The early OP's can have readability issues with narrow hands.
The 369 dials are still available with the newer hands.

Bfd70 · 24 August 2015, 07:50 AM

Have the 36. When I take off my Sub and put it on, it feels like a better fit for my 6.5" wrist. However, when I put the Sub back on I prefer its "presence."
Anyhow, I find the 2 to be the perfect 2 watch combo.
