I agree with you on the bezel of the Explo 1... it is a detail but it looks weird.
I went with OP39 in black because of the nice size and the brushed case: I am not too keen on the shiny finish of the Datejust, but it remains a perfectly fine choice

Are people just missing this?

Rolex has successfully managed to turn the entire Sports line into the same craze that was previously affecting only the Daytona, triggering massive levels of speculation, grey market, and arrogant behaviour at some of their dealers. That, in itself, woul...
Nothing wrong with 36mm Rolexes

In fact the 36mm datejust and the 37mm Yachtmaster with steel and platinum are among my favourite Rolexes.

I feel the same re the sports watches ( though I do wish I had kept my two GMTs from a decade+ ago) and am delighted with my OP 39 in black which I bought soon after it was released. Really good all purpose watch, simple ,attractive, great dimensions,not ...
Fantastic picture

It just goes to show how well the rounded bezel fits on that case. All of the other sections are so flat that the round bezel creates an interesting contrast that enhances the visual impact. Now, the only (very slight) knock I have on the case is that the...
OP 36mm blue dial
By: chippyfly : April 24th, 2019-04:21
Shown on this forum before I first saw this combination without date two years ago online and thought that is for me with plain curved bezel without fancy accoutrements I was unlikely to use. 39mm too large for me and 3-6-9 alpha is perfect. So 17months a...
Great option, too

I saw it a few times at various AD's, and it is a very nice model. Understated, with just a bit of pop with the blue dial. Having so many models on Oyster bracelet, I am quite drawn by the new Jubilee bracelet of the DJ. I must be getting old...
