36mm OP Steel Dial

Anybody have one of these? If so, how is the legibility for you? Really like the look but just curious if the hands stand out enough from the face.

Also, pics are always welcome

has to be the silver dial. Not the 3, 6, 9 the new one with the double sticks. This dial was released in 2014 i think.

Yep, that's the one I'm thinking of, thanks! It's a darker silver than the 369 version.

I have one, it's a great watch. Very legible. The hands stand out nicely and it has nice thick markers.

I have had no issues with its legibility. 5% of the time the face became a blank wash due to the angle, but all I needed to do was slightly turn my wrist and that beautiful sunburst dial became visible again.

Bought this exact watch a few weeks ago! The silver dial is just beautiful to look at. I wanted the Rhodium dial from the 39mm OP at first but think this dark silver actually looks better. Haven't had any legibility issues at all thus far.

I have an OP39 with the rhodium dial, legibility is my biggest issue. At some angles, it's impossible.

This is the only other Rolex I want, besides the Sub I have. A perfect companion piece - I'm saving for it now.

TBH I had a pretty tough time choosing a size/colour combination. I want something that looked classy without being overly flashy, fit my wrist well and would be a great daily driver, matching any outfit. I think this does all those things!
