So, I recently got a Bluesy but I’m thinking of picking one of these up soon. I’m not sure which I want yet. Which would you choose?

I absolutely love it. So happy . I’m on the list for a batgirl next. Always loved Omega and was put off by the AD experience but now I’ve got one I can see why there’s such a love for these.

Quick review for anyone looking to buy an OP, specifically with the silver dial.
Have had this watch for just over a year.
Great daily, wears excellent and it goes with everything. Can be worn in pretty much any setting. The dial is stunning and looks different in different lighting.
The yellow gold hands and indices can really pop in certain lighting. It also makes it a little different than the rest of the OPs which have white gold hands and indices (aside from the 100 year anniversary OP).

A true one and done if you’re looking to have just one watch.

Put my name down at a couple of different ADs in my area back in December 2024 and still haven’t gotten the call. Got tired of waiting and decided to take matters into my own hands. Best GMT ever made, IMO. 🟢⚫️

Getting used to it

Kept my DJ hidden for a while. I was worried the jubilee and fluted combo was too flashy, I didn’t want to scratch my clasp, etc. all the typical noob worries. But the more I wear it, the more I love it.

New idea....Should this have been the 100th Year Anniversary design.

Should have made the OP41 PM Gold and TT with the dial paying homage to the Rolex colors and Box. Really have the watch bring the design full circle for Rolex on 100 years. What do you guys think.

Love this thing. Walked into AD for first time last Friday and got the call this week to pickup. Also as a fun fact- AD said all Rolex purchases in Q4 2026 will include the 100 year OP chip

This is my first Rolex and I absolutely love it!

Took about 3 months to get it at the AD (very fortunate + best sales associate).

If you know where this was taken then you now know where the best Rolex AD in the US is lol.

Second AD Purchase

Post image
11 Upvotes

After putting my name down at the local AD in Feb 2025 for a DJ36 two tone white dial, I surprisingly received a call in Oct 2025 advising me they had it in store for me. That weekend picking up the DJ36 for my wife, I put my name down for a DD white gold white dial for me.

Low and behold after one year, last weekend I received a call notifying me that it was ready for me in store if I was still interested. Needless to say, I picked her up this week! What a beauty she is!

I put my name down for a no date sub to replace my Speedy as a daily. Let's see how long that one takes...

Trade a ‘25 sub date for ‘26 Yacht Master Titanium?

Guys I have an offer for a my sub date at 13k and trade it for an unworn Yacht Master Titanium for 23.5. If they can come down $500 on it or up 500 on the sub, is that a good deal? Need expert opinion. Sub date is worth 15k but Yacht is usually 26k.

Daytona: I know it’s been hyped up but nothing more versatile than a white dial Daytona on stainless steel imo

Explorer 36 vs 40. First Rolex. Photos included.

• Upvotes

Big career milestone. Buying first Rolex. Have two other watches both 40mm, but were gifts.

My wrist size is 6.5 inches

Unfortunately the AD only had the black/oyster explorer in 40mm, but got to try the two tone gold/silver explorer in 36mm for size comparison.

I personally liked the 40mm slightly more (maybe because I’m used to size), but on reading this sub overwhelming support is for 36mm. So wanted some advice here before buying. Will get black/oyster, so classic.

Question:
1) 40mm vs 36mm sizing?
2) Explorer vs Datejust vs Oyster Perpetual as first Rolex and something I can wear everyday for next 30 years as my daily? (I’m 35M, corporate, business casual, linens, and casual t/shirts+linen shorts in summer). I love the uniqueness of the Explorer, but feel it’s maybe too understated/plain?

Finding 28 or 31?? Datejust in Australia

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi all,

What is a realistic time frame to get this in 28 or 31mm in Australia? I live in a city without an AD.

Can anyone recommend grey dealer in Brisbane or Sydney that may have ladies size datejust with simple batton dial

Please don't tell me about your American ad that gave you one in 5 mins because this is not that.

Got a nice little surprise call today on a Datejust I put my name in for a couple months back. Bought this as a memento to my late grandfather and it just so happens it was their anniversary this past Sunday so it made it extra special. First Rolex for me but won't be my last! Love the way it looks and feels!

OP41 Oyster 100 or No Date Submariner

Thumbnail
gallery
32 Upvotes

I currently have a few sports watches (Omega AT and a Grand Seiko) but no divers. The No-Date Submariner has been a dream watch since childhood. Now that I can finally afford one and have the opportunity, I always assumed it would be my "one-and-done" diver and Rolex.

However, I was blown away by the  OP41 "Oyster 100" (Ref. 134303). It is gorgeous and fits my personal style perfectly, but it overlaps with the sports-casual vibe I already have.

Buying both isn't in the cards right now. Should I get the Submariner because it checks a lifelong bucket-list item and fills a gap in my collection, or go with the OP41 because it immediately clicked with my style and is a unique reference?

Which would you choose?
