Simple, elegant, stunning dials. When Rolex announced the 114300s I was hooked.

Oyster in perfection. Gorgeous, not flashy, just beautiful.

I purchased this watch from a fellow TRF member and I couldn’t be happier.

Initially I was a bit worried about the size, 39mm seems a lot for an Oyster, but it wears just fine.

The bracelet is a piece of art, no news there, and the watch appears almost modest and humble. I think it works both as a daily watch and as a dress watch.

I love it.

Huge congrats.

Congrats! My grape says Hi.

RastabanStar · 15 November 2015, 04:28 AM

Such a clean, elegant piece.

joe100 · 15 November 2015, 04:33 AM

Picked up mine on Thursday. Absolutely in love with the dial, no nonsense rolex.

Congrats on yours!

It's heavy as heck isn't it?

Mr. K · 15 November 2015, 05:51 AM

Totally under the radar. I like it.

ColRam425 · 15 November 2015, 05:53 AM

I'll be buying one of these in a month (first Rolex)!

HogwldFLTR · 15 November 2015, 06:32 AM

Loving it; congratulations!!! I'm anxious to see what will show-up this year in terms of dials of the 39mm.

I was thinking the same thing. The response to these three dials has been quite positive. Maybe Rolex will do more variations.

Beautiful watch. Congrats. I love how sleek, simple, and elegant these OPs are.

Nice watch, 39mm is a great size. Is this the same case as the Explorer? The dials give it bit more flair, tho...

Norms · 15 November 2015, 07:26 AM

Congrats. Love the little splashes of color rolex threw into these.

You won't be disappointed. I'm glad to see a competitor to the Omega Aqua Terra, which I used to think was the perfect watch.

It's a great all-rounder and that dial....

travisb · 15 November 2015, 10:14 PM

Congrats! I was impressed after checking it out at my AD.

Chadridv · 15 November 2015, 10:16 PM

Looking great! Beautiful watch. Congrats.

Racerdj · 15 November 2015, 10:20 PM

Marcela · 15 November 2015, 11:01 PM

Congratulations on this really great watch. I had an opportunity to see it in person, and it looks and feels fantastic :-)

cop414 · 15 November 2015, 11:09 PM

Looks great, congratulations! Appears to be very under the radar yet classy at the same time.

brandrea · 15 November 2015, 11:13 PM

Congratulations! I love the new line up of OP's

Rags · 16 November 2015, 12:42 AM

When it first came out I loved it but then as I kept seeing more pictures of it I wasn't thrilled about the mixing of the stick markers with lume markers. Anyone else feel the same about this?

Makes it a lot easier to orient the watch in the dark though.

DrySub · 16 November 2015, 03:28 AM

"Makes it a lot easier to orient the watch in the dark though."

Yes, good point. They also blend a lot better in daily wear than pictures can convey. The little red pips on my Grape 39 maybe look jarring in pictures, but really make sense in real life. These are all clean, elegant dials with a bit of dash.

Kobin · 16 November 2015, 03:47 AM
