Rolex OP 36 White Dial is super rare

A check of chrono24 shows only three of these for sale, all at a 50% premium over msrp, compared to 28 OP 39s with the same superb white dial. The OP 36 also moves quick, like Usain Bolt, see bonus pic inside. Since Hodinkee republished it’s comparison be...  

I agree....

I bought my white dial on eBay about 6 months ago.....for $5,400.... lucky me. Bought the black dial around the same time on chrono24 for same price. Double lucky. They are harder to find for a decent price now. Hold on to them and enjoy! ...  

I understand FabR and thank you for the reminder that one of the most appreciated aspects, for me, of this forum is that there aren't endless speculation threads that litter the watch forum landscape.

That said, rarity and desirability vis a vis their relation to market realities are part and parcel of watch collecting. Thanks for the thanks and your thumbs up for one of my favourites.

Sounds good. I mentioned this since part of your post and then a reply were focused on specific market values and current prices, which as I said we want to avoid.

All the rest is good; rarity and desirability (which can be also discussed without debating specific figures) are actually very interesting aspects of this hobbyπŸ‘Cheers.

Cheers FabR. As I said in my reply to tempus the reason I cite the current pricing is to illustrate and give evidence to the models rarity.

If something can be readily sold for a steep profit but availability is still extremely limited, less than a handful listed on the worlds largest watch sale platform, that supports the assertion that the watch is not only rare, it is super rare! I didn't ...

I think white dial Rolexes in general are becoming harder to come by.

There are times I feel that this OP39 is the only Rolex I need, and perhaps the only watch I need.

But then what would I do with all that extra money and the time spent deciding which watch to wear? 😁 ...  

That is very strange...

People feel blessed if they are able to buy the cheapest steel watch from Rolex because social media tells you difficult to get and super hot cookie?😳 Sorry, that is... Nice watch bthw Best Tempus

Perhaps I should clarify the point of the thread. This has nothing to do with your, pejorative sounding, conclusion about people feeling blessed to buy something others have told them is hard to get.

 
 By: oyster case : March 7th, 2021-15:24
When the watch was available it was not being hyped. People, like myself, bought it because they liked it. The watch it turns out was made in exceedingly small quantities for a Rolex. That is the surprising aspect and the reason for the thread. It's incre... 

Yes it is πŸ˜‰πŸ˜œπŸ‘
