Oh no...am I a flipper now?

[SemperFi]

Some of you may recall that it was almost exactly one year ago that I was deciding between the OP39 Rhodium or Blue Dial. I eventually decided on the rhodium dial despite some claims on this forum about it’s lack of legibility.

Well, I should’ve listened more closely to those claims. I gave it a chance, really I did, but it became increasingly clear to me that the combination of its being somewhat monochromatic, plus my less than perfect eyesight, meant that it had to go. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a lovely watch but unless I was in sunlight or a well lit room I was having difficulty reading the time.

I put the watch up for sale on the forum two days ago and today it sold. Yay for me. So, what’s next? The same watch with the white dial that was introduced at Baselworld a few months ago. Why not the blue OP39 since that was the runner up last year? Because if the white dial had been available a year ago that’s the one I would have gotten then and I’ve already decided to get the blue Pelagos to satisfy my itch for a watch with a blue dial.

So there you go. Go ahead, I’ve got a tough skin, call me a flipper.
