If you happen to see it try it in the green dial, you will be fascinated. Especially in natural light it has beautiful reflections

Antonio,

I have a question; in Italy, are smaller watches worn more commonly by men I.e. Datejust 36, or are larger watches more commonly worn, like Datejust 41 etc?

They are both seen around. Fans of the old Rolex course as well as more adult people wear the 34 mm and 36 mm more willingly, the guys who are now approaching this passion exclude 34 mm because they consider them small and start from size 36 even if they often take the Datejust II from 41.
In any case, the 41 mm Datejust II and Daydate II are sold more easily to occasional customers than to true enthusiasts who have other watches

Awesome!

I’ve asked to see the green dial OP at threee different ADs and nobody has had it :(

Yes make sure you post a lot of pics!

I just ordered a watch, on the cheaper side of things though, but still excited :D

Incredible that no one AD has a specimen to show you, it is a common watch... Insist you will see that you can try it on your wrist.
What watch did you order?

For some time i would have been willing to buy a 34mm OP, ref. 114200 green dial but i'm blocked by the fact that it has the old caliber 3130 and sooner or later it will be replaced with the new, presumably 3230. When do you think the Oyster Perpetual will receive the caliber update?

Currently here in Italy the OP is easily and at a discount and i like it very much but i would be sorry to buy today a watch that would soon have a better caliber...

It’s not a car or a phone. I have the 114060 Submariner with the 3130 movement. I have zero desire for any new movement. It’s as good as it gets.

I know! I have a feeling that the green dial and white dial 34mm OPs are popular. I haven’t seen the white one yet either.

I’ll post an incoming thread when it arrives!

That olive green is nice.

I have the 34mm Blue dial OP. Loving the blue and accuracy. It runs at +0.5 seconds per day on average. Can't go wrong with the old caliber.

I can’t go smaller than a 36mm on my 7 1/2 inch wrist. Wish it was offered in 36mm-39mm.

Interesting comment Bas, so should we stay away from all 32XX movements at this time?

I actually really like and value the additional PR. OP I suspect you're like me, a person that struggles to buy something knowing there is a very decent change it could be updated to the latest and greatest thing. If you're like me if you get the OP and then they announce the update it will eat away at you. Considering the model you're after isn't ages on the waiting list I'd wait and see.

I have two watches with 3235 in it, one I've had for 6 months, easily the best mechanical watch I own. If anything goes wrong RSC can fix it.

I'm not saying you should stay away. But I'm not sure the new movement is a real upgrade right now, and if a watch still has the 3130 and you want that watch, don't wait for the new movement.

Half a second a day is excellent!

Thanks for the info Bas. Would you be able to share more details on what other issues there are apart from lubrication on the seconds wheel pivot?
I have gotten myself a 126600 as I put more value on robustness. Having read issues with the relatively slim sleeve bearing post leading to a higher chance of the rotor hitting the movement plate, I decided on the ball bearing rotor in the 3235.
Hope my thinking is right? Thanks!
