What can be next after OP39 Black?
Dear Friends! Wearing OP39 Black all the time, but during next few or more months want to change my watch on something new. I am wearing suits 95% of my time. What can be next after OP39 Black? What I hate about OP 39 Black? Nothing. Great watch! But... maybe Bracelet (my wrist always change size, during the day in some hours it can be not very comfortable to wear bracelet, that is why leather or rubber will suit me better, or maybe another variant of bracelet), Date (I realize, that I need it in my working life...). Maybe TT YG or RG DJ41? Many thanks!

SS DateJust 36mm. A classic watch. Goes well with a suit. I have a white dial, with Roman numerals. I rotate it with my SS Submariner Date. Two classic Rolex pieces.

What are the colors of your costumes and which ties or butterflies do you prefer to wear?

I'm an SS guy all the way. I saw this one at my AD and almost made an impulse buy, very sharp in person.

What do you do for a living? May make a huge difference in suggesting a watch for you, since you wear suits all the time.

What can be next after OP39 Black?
If I truly wanted rose gold. Diamond markers even better imo. But jubilee is a must and the sundust dial is amazing. More versatile then the chocolate since you wear different suits daily. Which would be my second choice. DJ41 has the easy link as well. I went with the rhodium diamond dial on SS and fluted. Super versatile imo. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would recommend the DJ41 with jubilee bracelet.
Goes great with a suit that you wear 955 of the time, and jubilee bracelet is very comfortable with 5mm easylink adjustability. |

swap the bracelet with an OysterFlex Strap. I did this on my White Dial OP 39 and love it.

Thank You!
OP with the white dial is a joke? I already have OP with black dial))). DJ36 seems too small on my wrist, compare to OP 39, which size is ideal. |

I personally think that the DJ suits you just fine. Maybe a blue dial or silver dial variant and jubilee would be perfect?
I would go for that reference based on your needs. However, there are plenty of other good brands outside of the crown if you would like to go that route as well! |

I've got a number of Rolex sport models and wearing them, I can pull it off with a suit, but my DJ is my favorite and garners the most compliments. Business suits and DJs go together like scotch and ice. A smooth bezeled DJ would look at home on a bare arm on your weekend as well. If that doesn't strike you, there's always the Daytona?

My OP 39 compare to DJ 36 looks more balanced and perfect. What do You think?

DJ 36. A bit small for that sporty look but boy does it sing at formal.

I wouldn't say this looks too massive. And DJ 41 wears smaller on Jubilee than on Oyster, so try the DJ41. DJ41 is not actually 41mm. It's 39.5mm. While larger than your OP. It is not much larger. There are 3 ADs in St.P. (DLT, Grand Hotel Europe and Rolex boutique) At least one of them should have a DJ41 on Jubilee as they aren't too scarce. I think blue is the best looking, but rhodium and black are also great. Apart from that your only Rolex option for dress watch is DD40, which is whole other level of expensive.

Not trying to be rude, but you can’t really go anywhere but up from an Op 39
