but predictions are dangerous in the watch world. I do think that it so presenting the fundamental designcodes of a Rolex watch in a very puristic way. That makes it really interesting.

So true.

This is as “no nonsense” as a Rolex will ever get. It makes a great pair with my modern Explorer 1. Both are 39 mm and according to my wrist, the perfect proportions.
Funny you mention the Explorer...

I too have a 39 mm Explorer and have been thinking of adding a 39 mm white OP to make it a semi-matching pair.😉
LOL. Great minds Think alike 😁👍

I was never so fond of the OPs but when I saw this I became intrigued by the very simple expression. It’s not as legible as the very tool like Explorer 1 (I just love that watch so much) but it has a calm beauty. I imagine it would look even better with a...
Great Picks

I think the dials of the 34 and 36 are even more beautiful. I just personally prefer the 39 mm size more because I have a big wrist.
Great choice, Christian!

I just picked one up as well, and for the exact same reasons. It’s a great go anywhere, do anything, time-only piece that flies under the radar.
Exactly Fab!

this one is reduced to the absolute basic rolex design cues. I suspect less is more in this case. I bet it will still be beautiful in 50 years.
Easily one and done

Enjoy your newest boring wristwatch. Mine has been boring me since June 2020! ...
thank you, Alberti.

Yes the dial is really handsome on closer inspection. Its easy to overlook from a few meters but thats a good quality as well
Thank you so much, Sir :-)

So is more for the long haul. However, im pretty sure some will just see "Less".
No that is so true

I suspect it has to do with the new size. The stron colors have certainly made quite a marketing impact. Lets see if the black and white will be back in a few years. I just jumped on it as i consider the 39mm PERFECT for me.
Lovely Fernanado!
