Key Points from the Discussion

The 39mm size of the new Oyster Perpetual is widely praised as 'perfect,' bringing back elegance to Rolex's men's line, especially compared to the larger 41mm Datejust.
Among the dial options, the blue dial with green markers is a strong favorite, noted for its ability to make the watch 'stand out' and appear 'superb' and 'handsome.'
The gray dial with blue markers is also considered a strong contender, though some find it too monochromatic when paired with the silver tones of the Oyster case and bracelet.
The 'red grape' (purple) dial, while visually striking, is seen as a more challenging color for most men to 'pull off,' leading to it being a less popular choice compared to blue or gray.
The new Oyster Perpetual 39mm is seen as a compelling entry-level Rolex that 'leaves nothing to be desired,' drawing renewed attention to the brand from collectors who typically prefer sportier models.
Some contributors, while appreciating the OP 39mm, suggest considering the Milgauss Z-Blue for its more visually interesting dial, coloring, and lightning bolt seconds hand.

I agree, the size is just perfect at 39mm....the 41mm datejust looked too big and plumped up, and the bezel was too wide. I'm glad that Rolex brought back some elegance to the men's line, and with the oyster bracelet too, a personal favorite. That said, for some reason I'm not enamored with any of the dials on the 39mm pieces, but if I had to choose, I would likely choose the blue dialed piece. The purple dialed piece is...well, purple (or looks too purplish to me) and the gray dialed piece just

Shocked that I like these watches so much! Definitely brings my eyes back to Rolex, and the entry level Rolex once again leaves nothing to be desired!

.....i am not a big fan. If i went that direction, I'd go Modern Milgauss. Of the ones you show, I prefer the blue dial

Perfect size, but I don't think most men could pull off the red grape dial. Right now it's between gray and blue for me! Cheers, Daos
