Op39

I’ve recently become really intrigued by the Oyster Perpetual 39. Might even add one to my collection at some point. Who has one? What are your thoughts? And of course, most importantly, let’s see your wrist shots!
Thanks!

My dad got the red 39 in dec and I can’t believe how stunning it is in person. Just a simple, stunning watch

I’m starting to get intrigued as well. I wasn’t interested in this watch at all when it was announced, but it just looks so simple and classy.

I picked up the Rhodium dial first but sold it due to legibility issues.
I then bought the white dial OP39 which is an absolutely beautiful watch that I recently gifted to one of my sons.
You will not regret spending your money on this model. It’s a great watch.

I have the white OP39...very simple and classy. Great on oyster or throw on a black leather strap and makes a great dress watch

I have the 39 in white and must say, one that gets the most wrist time. The dial is something that can only be truly appreciated in person. Was just talking to an AD and they are having a hard time getting these as they are pretty sought after now

Came in via FedEx today from a relationship AD in another city. The only thing it needs is an Easy Link. I have one link out and micro-adjust at its smallest setting and it's a tad loose - should be perfect in the warmer months. It is a very nice complimentary piece to add to the Rolex/Tudor sector of my collection which is heavy on black dial diver types (16610 Sub, 116710LN GMT II, Tudor BBH).

Absolutely love mine. It gets plenty of wrist time and is super comfortable as a daily.

Love mine. Had the rhodium and grew tired of the blue pips and the lack of readability. I sold it and got the black dial when it came out last May. Almost a year later and I still find myself staring at the beautiful dial.

Great looking watch. Feels like the white dial is stealing the show. Seems to be a hot watch of late. With good reason.

I’ve been wanting one of these for a while now, it’s a perfect watch in so many respects! Beautiful, perfectly balanced and dressy yet sporty.

I don’t think you can go wrong with any version! But I can say the black version compliments a tux very well!

The red grape, together with Exp II, gets most wrist time - that’s what I bought it for, it is the perfect daily wearer.

It’s in my list. I have a 39mm Explorer I wear regularly and really like the idea of a white 39 O

I think the OP39 is a cool watch and its simplicity is its appeal. Clean dial and great look.

That looks perfect on you

In that light the dial almost takes on more of a creme colour

Op39

I had it in blue, but sold it for a dj41 (wanted a date). These white dials are looking tempting though!

I love the white OP and would have purchased it over my 41 . The times I’ve tried on the OP it just fits me perfectly. My 41 is just a tad to big for 7 inch wrist. I even had my lugs and bracelet brushed to look like an OP

Very cool! I like it. The new white dial is really something special. Sometimes white, sometimes silvery, sometimes a creamy white. It is simple, but not boring.

Gave the white dial OP39 to my son for his 30th birthday few weeks ago. I was actually looking at this one for myself but went with the Grand Seiko Snowflake for about the same price. I went with the Snowflake because I already own Rolex watches and wanted something different. It’s a great looking watch and it’s pretty good value for the money. My son loves it and it hasn’t leave his wrist since.

Love the white dial, getting more wrist time comparing to my white SS Sky.

Do you think the dials are the same on the white OP and the Skydweller?
