Picked up my first Rolex piece yesterday, an OP39, Rhodium dial. Would post a picture, but they're too big. I've tried to compress them, with no success.

Congrats.
welcome to the community.
But Did you really get a Rolex .... We can't tell because of no picture.
Try using an iPhone and emailing it to yourself but choose a small version to send. That'll help you a lot.

Why would someone lie about something like this to a world of strangers he won’t ever meet?

It’s called (somewhat “tongue-in-cheek”) pics or it didn’t happen. I’m sure that post was meant as humor...

It is NOT a case of telling a lie.

It was encouragement to show a picture.

If filsgreen feels I have been rude I most sincerely apologise as no offence was intended at all.

We all like to see the new purchases made by each other.

Guess I took your words too literally!

Miscommunications happen Everyday, no harm done to anyone hopefully.

So that’s a beautiful watch and now I shall wear mine tomorrow!

Thanks, everyone for your comments and advice.

teck21 · 28 June 2019, 09:44 PM

Grats, I have the Rhodium 39 as well, it’s a beauty. My first too.

Can be hard to see the hands under poor lighting though, but that’s probably just me.

I use the app and it’s really easy to post pics.

Compressing the file won’t reduce its pixel size (I am guessing your photo exceeds the max pixel width and/or height).

So try resizing to something like 780px In both width and height.

On a Mac, the Preview App will do it - in Windows, the Paint App is easiest to do it.

Thanks for posting this as I have had some difficulty posting pics sometimes but now I know where and how to reduce the file next time.

Congratulations !! I use a photo app to size photos too. I alos notice it is easier to post photos thru Tapatalk.

filsgreen · 28 June 2019, 10:10 PM

No offence taken, Charles. I've been around forums long enough to know we want, no, we need pics.

JayHantz · 28 June 2019, 10:12 PM

Welcome to the community and looking forward to the pictures. The OP is an outstanding watch.

Huge congrats, it's a great looking, understated piece. The dark rhodium was my first choice, too, but I never saw one at my AD. I ended up purchasing the blue version, which I'm very happy with. The 39mm OP models are easy-going, low-profile, fun, formidable, versatile pieces that fit a variety of lifestyles and situations. Hope you enjoy yours!

-Rick.
