34mm Oyster Perpetual Olive Dial in Kent, England.

Hi guys.

This OP is actually quite hard to come by as the size is perfect for a lady or a bloke with a small wrist. The Olive dial is unreal, if this came in a 36mm or 39mm, I believe it would be one of the most popular references.

My mrs has this model and it took some searching to find it. In Bluewater at the weekend, it was so cool to see one in the window, while my Mrs had her's on.

Watch located in Bluewater, Kent, South East England.

Very nice reference this one. If I still lived in Essex I'd pop over for a look.

Well done!! I've only managed to see 2 in ~3 years of searching so eventually had to order it without trying it on

Like you've said - the dial is unreal. The depth of green changes depending on how the light catches it. its a shame the picture on the rolex website doesn't do it justice. I think the orange flecks above the indices throws in a nice bit of contrast.
For that reason i wonder if they would have to release it for the 39mm as the 36's lack that extra splash of colour

In fact.
If they release it as a 39mm i think i'd have to get mine a big brother
I'd wear it when i feel like i'm having a "fat day"

Mine definitely has a single bar on the crown, not a dot

What is the colour of the dial of your wife's watch? I have ordered OP 34 in blue over a month ago and was told to prepare myself for a long wait, I am getting very impatient now!
