You have a perfect watch.
I will join the fray. Not a King but definitely has Royal lineage. Perhaps a Duke or a Count. 😊 Cheers. 🍻 Geross.
To buying this one on a number of occasions. The eggshell white dial is sublime. I was surprised to find that I didn't like the black one as much. My only gripe (minor) is that I feel all these modern Rolexes could be so much better with domed crystals. See for example the crystal on the new Omega James Bond watch. It adds a lot of visual and tactile interest.
I especially like the white dial OP39.
Stainless steel and white dial calmed the hamster wheel binge and purge of an accidental collection. For the time being I’ve still got a handful of 1970’s era Seiko divers and a Longines Legend Diver but once I found the minimalist luxury of entry level steel Rolex; I choose now to simply enjoy simplicity.
