Icon20 OP 39 White dial - New arrival!

Just picked it up.

Paid very slightly over retail sadly (hint, around a 5% premium). Wait-lists for this model and dial colour are 12 months + in the UK. Not bothered about paying a little bit of extra money for this piece because (a) I get to enjoy the watch right now and (b) it is absolutely a long term keeper.

The 39 is stunning, and I encourage anyone in the market for one to jump on it. In the world of 42mm / maxi case watches this is a breath of fresh air, and is completely understated. You won't be disappointed!

Easily one of the best in the current Rolex lineup. Just simple and classic.

Stunning! I’ve been eyeing a DJ41 but this in white seems to make me rethink my decision

I think it is quite possibly the best white dial Rolex have ever made. Cream in some light, silver in others, pure white in others again. You don't stop looking at it, and I can't say that about my sub or datejust.

This was my current favorite until I tried on the 36mm version, which suits my wrist better. The OP is such an under the radar piece and that's why I like it so much.

Congrats to you.

My AD said the OPs are getting more popular. That could be for any number of reasons.

It's a very nice watch, but I have a question. Does the time look good on that white dial and the white gold hands?

Great choice, dial looks stunning. All of the OP dial combos are attractive imo but the white dial (for me) works a lot better on certain models, OP is certainly one of them.

Yeah it is actually pretty great. I think the hour markers sit a bit taller on the dial itself and this casts a tiny shadow around the edge of each marker so at a lot of angles it is super readable.

My clear favourite Rolex right now.

Now if they did an olive OP in 39mm...

Congrats! I just got the same watch myself last week and absolutely love it. I’m a one watch type of guy and this one is perfect for every application, for me. Love the dial, the brushed bracelet finish, and the case....feels very much like classic Rolex designs rather than their more current bolder aesthetic.

I was able to get an Easylink to add to mine which is a nice upgrade and well worth the $95 in my opinion.

Yep! They even had it in stock and installed it for me before I got the watch, was surprised as I’d heard they can be difficult to get, but very happy to have it.

Very surprising, as official stance from Rolex Watch USA is for AD’s to deny this part unless it specifically came on the watch- it’s how they (intentionally) stratify the models, i.e. pay up for the 214270 to get an easy link and upgraded clasp.

I tried through AD- no dice.
