Incoming for the wife - OP31 Silver Dial

Got the call this morning so say something nice had arrived and she wasn’t disappointed. I know the new, bright colours are taking the spotlight so I hadn’t really paid much attention to the silver dial but it’s stunning in person.

Like a silver / champagne / gold depending on the light with a lovely sunburst dial.



Here’s a quick pic whilst we were in there. More to follow in better light tomorrow

She’s loving her first Rolex!

Cheers

Silver dial is the best out of that lineup IMO.

Exceptionally underrated configuration, regardless of size. I wear the 34 myself and know exactly what you're talking about re: dial changing colors with the light. Looks like a well-patinaed vintage piece in the right light.

Thank you - I bet your wife is excited. Four months for this one to come through

Thank you all. She’s super excited and so pleased with her first Rolex. Really appreciative (and nicely surprised) by all the lovely, positive comments I’ve been reading to her from the Forum

Not had much time to play around with it (too busy entertaining a three year old) but got some pics just now.



Dial changing in the light



Love the gold accents on the markers and hands



… and next to my 36mm Explorer from 2004

Thanks again all. Asked for the watch four months ago for her birthday earlier this month. Didn’t quite come through in time but at least it’s here now.

Cheers
