New OP 39 in blue. My love for my Explorer 214270 led to me getting this. Will do a review in the upcoming weeks.

Also....curious....did you choose this instead of the 214270, and if so, why?

Thanks! I actually own the Explorer already, and so that's what prompted me to get the OP. The size of the OP and Exp is perfect for my smaller wrist, and I appreciate the history of both.

The green square 'dots' are great - they add a touch of color that goes with the blue well, but stay subtle without being too over the top. Can't wait to get it out in sunlight!

The clasp on the bracelet is different, right? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts... Thanks.

That is correct. It's the 'Oysterclasp,' so no Oysterlock (safety clasp) or Easylink extension like in the explorer. A more basic design.
