Now I'm Torn! 36mm vs 39mm OP
Today I tried on the 39mm OP (pictured). Up to this point, I've had my mind set on the 36mm steel dial OP and now I'm torn!! The only thing holding me back from the 36mm is that I can't find the steel dial in stock at my local ADs (just the grape dial has been available).
If you had these two options, which would you choose and why?   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

OP39. I would personally get the blue but the gunmetal is gorgeous as well.

39 for the extra detail of blue color and case size.

39, sky blue accents give it the edge.

The dials are beautiful and the OP39 shows more of it. Easy decision for me. If it fits your wrist, go for it.

Take a look at the 36m blue Arabic.
A bit of a sporty OP. To me the 39s look a bit boring ( dare I say) 36 all the way. |

114300 looks good on you, I also prefer TOC of the indices.

I went for the blue 39, it's been off my wrist for one day in the last month-and-a-half. Stunning and incredible value for money. I tried on the rhodium, but it didn't seem so legible.

I would go 39 mm, I find 36 mm too condensed.

I have a 36 116200 with rhodium and I don't find it at all difficult to tell the time.

I like the dial better on the 36mm but I must say the 39mm is a better size unless you have a really small wrist like 6.5inches. IMO 39mm is a perfect size for both dress & sport watches.

Go for the OP39. Brand new watch and very nice execution. The rhodium dial is the nicest of the bunch imo.

Both are great and I'm a fan of the 36 mm size. I personally would go with the blue 39 op but if that doesn't float your boat the rhodium is awesome too (I think it's too monotone for my taste)
You can't go wrong though, both are great

39. To me it's seemingly a more modern (read: larger) version of the original. The dials are beautiful, and I am personally not a fan of the white grape.

36mm and that dial is so much more balanced and elegant than the newer one. Not a fan of those color dots. Too naif for flair IMHO

36 if you like the size ! Beautiful dial with the double index (3,6,9).
I like the White Grape dial too 😁 (Sun Burn Dial ?) |

36
39 is a nice size but it wish it had lume at more than just 3/6/9. Much prefer the dial setup on the 36 and I also think 36 is a classic size and I have big wrists! Now if the 39 had the same dial as the 36 then I might go 39. |
