Enjoy!
I did not get one (yet). I barely use the EasyLink on my Milgauss, since my wrists swell up so easily i tend to wear my watches rather loosely. It's eather that or adjust the watch 10 times a day

Maybe I'll think about it differently when the summer gets really hot..

Awesome! You did right with the OP and the Olive Green Dial which is Rolex’s color. Congrats!

Can you definitely add an Easylink to the bracelet on an OP? Would an AD do it for you or would you have to do it yourself?

I want an OP39 but the lack of flexibility in the bracelet is a definite drawback for me. I’ve gotten very spoiled by the bracelet on my Seamaster 300.

Yes you can add an easylink to the bracelet, but it's up to the AD if they sell you a spare one or not. If you have a good relationship they will probably order you one, should be about $40-50 if they respect retail price.

Looks fantastic - I love that dial. It wears so much larger than 34mm.

Heel mooi!

I tried an OP 34 mm at Gassan, and she kept saying that it was a girls watch. How stupid can you be as a sales person. Wearing a Sub C and asking for that specific model and trying it on, I think I know what im doing... Though im curious as what Schaap&Citroen gave you as a discount!

Anyway enjoy the watch!

Awesome thank you. If anyone knows of an AD that would do this, I’d love to know. I’m in NYC but I’m happy to get on the phone.

Though I’ve got two 40mm watches and slimmer wrists, I actually love the way smaller diameter watches look for the DJs. I think it looks more appropriate for the model vs the sports models. If they made 38mm sport models I’d be all over them. Back in the day I had a DSSD and it looked like Flav-a-Flav’s necklace clock hanging off my arm. Your watches look nice on you. Congrats.

What complete foolishness the salesperson was spouting. 34mm is not a ‘girl’s size’ and in fact for the majority of the existence of wrist watches was a standard to big size. It also looks great on you. Enjoy it!

Congratulations. There’s nothing girly about a 34mm, looks great on your wrist. I’m a sucker for green dials!

Wow the olive green looks great!
Id keep the Milguass also, I think that the lume looks outstanding on the white dial. Nice choices on both watches. Congratulations.

Well, our TRF member EDL7 has a YouTube account (i think it's something like TS Timepiece) , where he applies the Easylink in his OP himself. Just check it out to see if you would/could do it yourself. I can't imagine an AD willing to do it for you but it never hurts to ask, right?

Good luck with your decision, it's a great watch for sure!

Well, I'd say it's unisex but maybe if the AD got 7 inch+ wrists, he couldn't look past what would be his own ideal size, who knows really.

I've been wearing the watch for the last few weeks and it's just great to see the sun burst in it, for me it's the thing that makes this watch great!

I got 10% and a bit off, before asking for it yet. Probably cause he noticed I was really on the fence about going for it, lol.

The lume is so much better on the Milgauss indeed!

I think this is a really nice two watch rotation. I never have to reset the time on either one and I'm always excited about the next day because I can get the other watch out again

I'll definitely hang on to both watches, cheers!

That's what we have to do...become Oscar winning actors at the AD's..
Hem & Haw a bit..say you luv the green color..and that's definitely what you want..but remark ...man..that watch is kinda too small for me..and glance quickly at the door..and your look at your current watch like you are in a hurry to get outta there..
Then quickly hit em up ..for the big discount.. if you buy right now..
This is the advantage for us guys buyin the watches that are smaller and less of a hot item..
Here is the vid on the easylink..sorry for the long vid..as I uploaded this before I figured out how to put the vid ultra speed mode ...but it shows how I put it in backwards at 1st..and..unboxing..
OK..
I got so many requests for where to find an easylink..and cant do it for you..so its probably just best to get one from the dealer where you bought the watch..but they really don't wanna know about an $80- item..not worth their time..I got lucky with my dealer who is a great guy..but that was 3 years ago..before the current Rolex..crisis..
I would buy the Olive Green..but if you want the easylink...make sure the AD promises to order one for you w/purchase of new watch.

I really like that olive dial. I wish it came in the 36 or 39 version. It doesn't, right?

Looks great on your wrist. congrats!
