I'm wondering if anyone knows the model number of this Rolex... 31mm Oyster Perpetual, no date, domed bezel, black dial, stick marks with or without arabic numerals 3,6,9.
Is it available at stores? If not, where can I get it?

Welcome to TRF, yes you can get the mid size OP model 77080 oyster bracelet.

BiG JeEzY · 1 August 2007, 05:54 PM

The model number for that model is 77080 just like what Padi56 said.

You can use this website to look at that model watch as well. They are a very good internet website for buying timepieces. They may also be available at select Authorized dealers, since you live in the Foster City area, I recommend going to the Ben Bridge jewelry store at Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo which is not too far from where you stay.

By the way, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the reply. But the watches in the link all have smooth bezels instead of the domed bezel. Is the op mid-size available in domed bezel?
Thanks

I was under the impression those were the same...

Any chance you could post a picture of what you're calling "domed"?

Actually, I just found that the first one here is the domed bezel (even though the dial color is not what I wanted) :

The rest are not domed bezel.
Thanks.

The first one in the link below is domed bezel, but it's not mid-size

Still hoping that someone can tell me the model# for 31mm, domed bezel, no date OP.

Thanks.

Is the difference that the domed bezel is just "thinner?"

BiG JeEzY · 2 August 2007, 09:57 AM

Definitely look into that website that I gave you. They are an excellent website, very trustworthy. Plus they offer a lot of the models for sale.

It is probably the BEST website to visit when looking for a new Rolex in my opinion.

I was also under the expression that domed bezel and smooth bezel are the same thing. Because the only other kinds of bezels that I've seen personally on a SS 31 mm Oyster Perpetual are only the engine-tuned bezel and the 18k white gold fluted (diamond-cut) bezel. I may be wrong though.

The 31mm doesn't come without date. Sorry.

I was a little unclear and incorrect here...

The 31mm with the newer style domed bezel doesn't come without a date!

No, it is not thinner, but is more "rounded" in shape and slope in a curve seen from an angle.

The sides of the "original" (i.e.: previous version) bezel slope straight and are not rounded, more sharp.

The domed bezel was introduced the first time with the launch of the YG Day-Date in 2000 which now has a slightly curved sapphire crystall, too (as the ONLY Rolex model in the Rolex line) and has polished lugs, too.

The polished lugs and the domed bezel add to a more "soft" look, I guess.

Here are two examples of the look of the domed bezel:

And here is the previous, "sharp" bezel:

I follow. Thanks SO much for clearing that up, Bo!
