I must have watched this video 12 times. I finally broke down and bought one to commemorate my brother, who died and left me a little money and a "milestone" birthday. I LOVE it. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.
Best non-commercial or sponsored watch video. The affinity for artistic endeavour, with music, timing, and interesting information. Marvelous work. Indeed, highly commendable.
Let's see German Austrian composer, A beautiful Northern Italian city, an underappreciated but beautiful Swiss watch. With one talented Irishman. Equals a masterpiece. Bravo maestro.
I have the steel grey dial version of this model (no numerals) The ONLY person who EVER recognized it as a Rolex was wearing a Daytona. *_The absence of bling is why I prefer it._*

😎Some of this footage was taken months ago.... before the current situation. In case you're wondering about people walking the streets. 😎 Also - This is the 2010 version. Now they've moved the silver 369 dial to the 34mm and replaced this with a blue dial. 😎
Love the video’s mate, best watch channel out there for me. Always looked longingly at the OP but never pulled the trigger. That explorer style 3,6,9 and silver dial is just beautiful not sure if I could get away with a 36mm model as I’m used to wearing 40mm upwards but checked the Rolex website and think that one is actually 34mm?
@@Dazza1977P I have the 36mm white dial OP from 2019, it has "thicker" lugs than in past years and brighter dials tend to wear more like a 38mm. Fits great, just my two cents.
I spent months looking for a new watch, I try on Omega, Tudor, AP, ALS , Panerai, Vintage IWC with outstanding Movements. I have access to any brand I want , and when I put on the OP 36mm "white" I was immediately sure that in this very moment that was the watch. That was what I wanted to look at. Is only that you can experience it when you put it on, go out to have a walk and the sun hits the dial. Is a felling I have towards this object same when you see a painting or read a great book and then becomes part of your life. Is beauty
I'm just a middle class guy, but I've always wanted a Rolex watch. About 8 mos ago, after a couple of years of saving up, I finally purchased my first Rolex. I went with the new black 39mm Oyster Perpetual. Love it.
@@tiongloo5310 It was total luck as I had absolutely no idea it become scarce. Good luck. You might want to look into the Explorer, it too is 39mm and is somewhat similar to the 39mm OP black dial. Here is a good comparison video -- ruclips.net/video/cV-5fTeXgQU/видео.html
@@drewhunkins7192 Now that Rolex has phased out the 39 mm, the demand for Explorer 1 at 39 mm which is the only sole survivor has skyrocketed I hear. Oh well, see how it goes. Enjoy your watch. Cheers.
Congratulations!!! Just a bit of an advice. If you prefer of course. Go to your AD and order a white dial for your black 39 OP. You have enjoyed the black for nearly a year now. For 800$ now you can enjoy the white dial. I'm sure you will not regret it. )))
I do voice overs for a living and I must say...you should be doing voice overs. Great delivery and a very unique style and sound in your VO. Great job.
To me this watch is for those who want one watch that can cope, without exaggeration, the rigours of everyday use. Great vid and the music was befitting the piece and relaxing to follow. Bravo.
As always, great choice of music - Beethoven's 5th, 2nd movement - and brilliant editing where at 5:30 you get a crescendo corresponding to a closeup of the Rolex crown logo on the dial!
My 36mm white OP was my first Rolex. Although I love my others, still Iove the OP the most. For me it's a great size, simple, elegant comfortable, understated. Great video!!
Perhaps your best work yet, and not just because imho this is the real Rolex. It is for people who know why they appreciate Rolex - not those who simply want to be known to own one ;-) A really great review, man. Thanks again, stay safe.
I was thinking about how to commend this video in a way I wouldn't normally compliment a video. I decided to have a quick read of the comments. Get some inspiration. I don't have to look very far and I came across Christian Boulay. I had to laugh to myself. He had more or less written all the words I wanted to try to find and I'll never be able to word it better than he has already. Your review of the Oyster Perpetual is simple brilliant. You have given credit to a watch with such a history a truly timeless review. You have a beautiful collection of watches. Maybe one day you'll do a state of your collection video. Bravo!
Maybe the Oyster Perpetual should be called Superman. Before Batman, before Hulk, and decades before Kermit there was one Rolex to rule over them all. And it still does!
I watched quite a few of your videos over the last year while sitting with my lady. She'd been ill for a very long time. Passed away on August 8th. Of her diabetes. She very much enjoyed the music and scenery of your videos. Thank you for giving her some small joys and sharing.
4 года назад+1
So sorry for your loss, Andrew. I'm thrilled that you and your lady enjoyed the videos together. Thanks for watching.
So glad you did this. Until now had felt the odd one out that this has always been my favourite Rolex. Swayed by the 36mm Explorer, but heart soon replaced head. As it will be a 60th Birthday first and only luxury watch I soon returned to the simple understated style of the OP in 36mm that I have long admired. Going for 36mm as again it’s the size I love, with the added bonus I am hoping my daughter will wear it long after I am dust. Thanks again and hoping you are coping with life in lockdown Italy.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed and absorbed in a RUclips video. Music, content, tone, delivery and cinematography all exquisitely judged and balanced. What an absolute master class in how to produce a video. Outstanding stuff! Subscribed.
Could not agree with you more. IMHO the OP is the perfect watch for someone wanting a 1 watch collection. Dress or casual. The OP has it all. Love mine!
Why is it in almost every industry (i.e. electronics, automobiles motorcycles, musical instruments, tools etc.) that proprietary manufacture of a product is not seen as a good thing? It usually signals that there will be a much, much higher cost for service or replacement of parts. However, in the watch industry, an in-house movement is looked at like a badge of honor that is required to reach a level of extra high quality and value. Does an in-house movement actually give a watch higher quality and value or is it just another marketing ploy to drive up perceived value and therefore prices? P.S. Love your review videos as much (maybe more) for the visual production values as the commentary. Great job!
This exact watch, the 36mm silver explorer dial, has been a dream watch of mine for a couple years now. Stop driving up the aftermarket prices! I'm still saving my pennies. 😂
I had been looking for something classic, elegant and under the radar without just another ceramic bezel watch. No joke I purchased this right after this video...
I have never seen a watch video of this quality before. The experience is mind blowing, I’ve been looking at many Swiss watches after years of deliberation over the Rolex Explorer vs Omega Speedy and the winner is Rolex OP. This incredible vid did it for me 🏆
With so many people trashing Rolex these days, it is very refreshing to find a video like this. A lot of people buy Rolex for the very same reasons you point in your video. Nothing related to status or wealth bs.
We asked and you delivered. Well done, sir. Well done. That is a beautifully shot video of a an equally beautiful watch. Love how the dial can look champagne coloured in some light and silver/white in others. I was pretty obsessed with the blue version of this watch with 369 layout but have gone off it as it's not that versatile. But, this silver dial is stunning. Might have to start looking around for this one soon. Keep up the great work!
Damn you 😂😂😂😂😂 before this video i would never have ever even googled the op. You have sold a watch too me that I'd never ever have even given a second look at in the window. Superlative work my friend, beautiful editing and sublime camera work. What a joy to watch 👌👌👌
Beautiful shots of Vicenza, my home for ten years! I absolutely love Vicenza, it would have been cool to run into you there had I known you lived there too. Now I am stuck back in America and missing a cafe at Alle Colonne.
Mr Ocean ! Bravo once again. I've been planning on getting an OP one day... maybe the plain white dial. That video nearly sent me into a peaceful trance. Just beautiful.
If you have a chance to see the white dial, you will find it is anything but plain. Sort of an eggshell/ivory color with slight hints of silverish white in certain lights. Quite complex without being overdone.
Really like the proportions of the 34 and 36 mm Rolex OP/DJs. Relatively small case diameter paired with big lugs and bracelets creates a very streamlined look.
Just when I think there’s no way you can top your last video.... you do it again, and again. BRAVO!!! Stay safe brother.... and thanks for another masterpiece! -Mike
OK I just had to tell you , this is the very best watch video I have seen anywhere. the music is perfect, and of course the Rolex oyster is perfect. thank you.
Damn it. This video is so good it's going to drive up the price of the OP I was eyeballing. I guess I'll just have to go for the solid gold day-date now.
I bought this Rolex oyster Perpetual 36mm based on this Video and I'm not disappointed. That said the AD did look down her nose at me with a expression of is this all you can afford ? I will not be going back to the said Dealer. Regards
Hi, I like the part where you mention the story and meaning of OP. It is not mentioned most of the time by a Rolex enthusiast or AD. It is only here I truly understand the meaning of OP. Great video. Thanks for a great story. Ciao
That's your best video yet and a watch that everyone who loves watches can all hope to have. Also might add that the blue dial version in 39mm is Rolex best looking model, and somehow gets massively overlooked. Excellent
Wears more like a 38mm to 39mm non-rolex with the maxi case, light dial, and 20mm bracelet in case anyone likes it but thinks its too small. Also Im pretty sure all the OPs oddly still have green lume instead of the light blue you see on most newer rolex
Well, mine - 34mm Air King 5500 bought new in 1989 - is still working and pleasing as designed. Maybe it'll get it's first service this year if business restarts. (that's not a joke) Properly timeless.
adnydrum good to hear. I guess if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. My Rolexes (Rolexi?) are 5 years and 5 months old respectively, neither will see a service for at least 5 years fingers crossed! Good luck with your business.
Dan Dahl I hope that’s true of my knockabout Tissot Gentleman, I’d be delighted if it can keep ticking as long as my Rolex watches (ceramic Sub Date & Datejust 41). For anyone interested I’d say the Tissot Gentleman’s dimensions are absolutely spot on. 40mm case, 36mm dial, 11mm width. That’s the golden ratio for me. Perfect length hands, hour markers. Superb legibility in all light levels. Wears quietly. Everything just so. You don’t have to spend thousands to appreciated good well thought out Swiss design, even though the Tissot is derivative of the Datejust and JLC Master Control etc. The ultimate average of averages. It’s one of my favourite pieces and I only kept it originally as I was blown away by the ETA movement with 25 jewels and silicon balance spring, the trickle down from Omega in the same umbrella group. Accuracy is my thing and it’s well within COSC without advertised as being such. If you’re looking for a fun bang for the buck watch in these dark days get one on order online. You can always send it back within 30 days if it’s not your thing. No, I’m not on commission :) keep safe folks.
My DJ from 1985 runs perfectly today, serviced / repaired in 1987 after a hit which still hurts to think about (suddenly loose rotor & buzz BUT it kept winding and running COSC time until repair) service in 2002 and 2011. My wife's 26mm Date is also 35 years young with two services (last in 2011) and still runs like new.
Ah just the tonic I needed. I have a soft spot for the white dial op 36. Superb vid as always. Love the footage. It all helps in these days of non travel. Thanks man your work is much appreciated.....
This was my first video of yours I ever watched. Reignited my love of watches (and Beethoven). Beautiful, top to bottom (both the video and the watch). Thanks for sharing!
I'll admit I'm one of those guys that watch tons of videos on all the other models and really hadn't considered this an option, though I am close to having finally saved enough to move out of my Oris "bracket". This was stunning. The most classic of symphonies for the most classic of watches. Nice touch there...
Beautifully done as usual. I’ll be turning 60 and retiring in less than a year. I have a dealer less than 3 miles away. I want that watch. Never had a luxury watch except for the 42 in Tessot, this would be my first high end watch. I have an 8 in wrist I’m wondering how this would sit on my wrist in a 39mm. Thanks
John King thanks John. I’m wondering if 39 would be too small. My 42 Tissot looks good but a 39 may be too small. I guess theirs one way to find out. Once they open I’ll pop in for a visit.
I'll be 60 on Friday. I got the 41mm, and my wrist is just over 8". My advice, get the 41mm. I find it wears smaller than you might imagine, despite the dimensions. Get the 41mm - you won't regret it. I got the black - gorgeous.
Oisin, I just got my OP 41 Green Dial and had to watch this again just to go over why this is such a great watch. You were spot on about the OP, it’s perfection and yet simple but the thing that makes this watch really stand out is like you said in this video, it’s not flashy. Very impressed with my latest acquisition and thank you for once again reasserting why we all love our watches . Cheers
Wonderful video, sir. Your videography, narration and score are perfectly blended and timed. Lovely editing. I bought my OP in September '19. 34mm, black dial and I'm still completely in love with it. Keep it up, maestro. Well done.
Thanks for a wonderful mini-vacation to beautiful and timeless Italy. A fine timepiece to showcase with a little homage to H. WIlsdorf who would smile if he saw this. Cheers.
I recently bought the 39 mil OP with the Rhodium dial straight out of David Robinson’s (AD Altrincham Cheshire) window, stunning dress watch, I was quite surprised to find it in the window, as a result of that purchase I was able to actually put a deposit down on a no date Sub a couple of weeks later not just go on the so called list, so its true guys strike up a relation with your local AD and these watches are available, great video, excellent cinematic content 👍🏻
I own the OP 39 with white dial,,, by far my favorite watch. Although I have not seen my latest purchase. The Blackbay 58. Stuck up at work in northern Canada for another 6 weeks. Been here here 6 weeks already. Can't complain about the money though. Stupid virus, the other crew isn't allowed back until this all tapers down some. The 58 is waiting for me at home though.
Well what can I say? Bloody fantastic job on this Oisin 👍🏻 I didn’t like the watch before - I do now! Seriously awesome video I could watch these all day. Master at work you really are... 😎
I must have watched this video 12 times. I finally broke down and bought one to commemorate my brother, who died and left me a little money and a "milestone" birthday. I LOVE it. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.

Maybe the Oyster Perpetual should be called Superman. Before Batman, before Hulk, and decades before Kermit there was one Rolex to rule over them all. And it still does!
Everyone says Superman is OP anyways!
in my opinion the best looking rolex and the most overlooked. no wait list for this beauty.
No wait list For good reason
I have the blue dial version. An overlooked gem in the Rolex catalog, and maybe could even be considered a bargain as far as Rolex goes.
Jack Kairos I bought that one for my wife, she loves it!
Perfect with a glass of wine. Always look forward to these videos and I appreciate the work that goes into making them. Cheers
Ahh... now that's how to watch my channel! (a fine scotch goes nicely also)
You could get a job doing voiceovers for M&S Food! 😎 The 36 mm Oyster is my favourite Rolex. Classic simplicity.

The raised applied numerals really make the dial stand out.

I saw this comment as this moment happened! Lol. Very powerful indeed
I've heard the whole willsdorf story over and over, but Oisin brings a stale subject out and gives it life. Bravo!
I got the op 36 with the Blue 3 6 9 dial as my First rolex :)

Now that's an intro! Loved the dynamic of this one.
After looking at those close up shots now I understand why people are so enthusiastic about Grand Seiko.
My 1st Rolex , 16030 Datejust engine turned bezel and Romans on a silver sunburst dial. Classic Rolex timeless design making it so versatile.
I felt so relaxed while enjoying this artsy approach to your video!. You did a fantastic job sir!

Indeed, the Beethoven 5th Symphony is well paired to the Rolex OP for both are timeless. Thanks for putting together this classy review of the OP.
OK I just had to tell you , this is the very best watch video I have seen anywhere. the music is perfect, and of course the Rolex oyster is perfect. thank you.
Thanks to be so kind to make my day with this video !
Regards from London !

The production quality has always been excellent, but this is your best video yet! Hope all is well.
That vintage looking case is what made Rolex so appealing, unique and comfortable. timeless

Adam Roth: *_Correct, the lume is green._*
One of your best reviews. Just wow! Perfect composition of pictures und music!
This video made me buy my OP 34 blue explorer dial last year :)
What a beautiful watch, so simple so elegant, a real man watch
It’s a pretty watch with the heart of a lion. I wonder how many generations a well maintained Rolex can go?
The same as an other well maintained swiss automatic

You can always send it back within 30 days if it’s not your thing. No, I’m not on commission :) keep safe folks.
My DJ from 1985 runs perfectly today, serviced / repaired in 1987 after a hit which still hurts to think about (suddenly loose rotor & buzz BUT it kept winding and running COSC time until repair) service in 2002 and 2011. My wife's 26mm Date is also 35 years young with two services (last in 2011) and still runs like new.
Ah just the tonic I needed. I have a soft spot for the white dial op 36. Superb vid as always. Love the footage. It all helps in these days of non travel. Thanks man your work is much appreciated.....
This was my first video of yours I ever watched. Reignited my love of watches (and Beethoven). Beautiful, top to bottom (both the video and the watch). Thanks for sharing!
I have a 34 two tone Date since 1994, never regret buying it then, after 26 years its still works like a charm!!
More watch reviews like this with the music and scenery please. Very enjoyable.
Another remarkable video. The first time I ever tried on a Rolex it was an Oyster Perpetual. I’ll never forget that moment.
Amazing video, very well done. Beautiful footage!
Great option with the 369 numerals. Almost feels like an alternate dial explorer. Very elegant.
I'll admit I'm one of those guys that watch tons of videos on all the other models and really hadn't considered this an option, though I am close to having finally saved enough to move out of my Oris "bracket". This was stunning. The most classic of symphonies for the most classic of watches. Nice touch there...
So beautifully shot and edited. Narrated too of course. The Beethoven 9 is always a nice touch. Bravo. Exceptional video.
Another masterpiece, music 🎶 selection?
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Andante con moto, if I'm not mistaken.
The second movement of Beethoven’s 5th symphony.
Beautifully done as usual. I’ll be turning 60 and retiring in less than a year. I have a dealer less than 3 miles away. I want that watch. Never had a luxury watch except for the 42 in Tessot, this would be my first high end watch. I have an 8 in wrist I’m wondering how this would sit on my wrist in a 39mm. Thanks
You need a 39. Trust me.
John King thanks John. I’m wondering if 39 would be too small. My 42 Tissot looks good but a 39 may be too small. I guess theirs one way to find out. Once they open I’ll pop in for a visit.
@@joethetravelguy6943 the 36 looks in real more like a 38 cause of a bigger case. So the 39 would look like 41 I Think. But try it on First.
I'll be 60 on Friday. I got the 41mm, and my wrist is just over 8". My advice, get the 41mm. I find it wears smaller than you might imagine, despite the dimensions.
Get the 41mm - you won't regret it. I got the black - gorgeous.
My first and only luxury watch I have for now. Just about as versatile and basic but magnificent a watch can get.
Oisin, I just got my OP 41 Green Dial and had to watch this again just to go over why this is such a great watch.
You were spot on about the OP, it’s perfection and yet simple but the thing that makes this watch really stand out is like you said in this video, it’s not flashy.
Very impressed with my latest acquisition and thank you for once again reasserting why we all love our watches .
Cheers
Absolutely mesmerizing production. Just beautiful presentation.
Classic design. Respectfully explained. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning watch 👍
I really enjoyed this video with a glass of wine. Nice choice of music. Glad I discovered your channel.
Ahh.. a nice glass for pairing. That's how it's done!
Wonderful video, sir. Your videography, narration and score are perfectly blended and timed. Lovely editing.
I bought my OP in September '19. 34mm, black dial and I'm still completely in love with it.
Keep it up, maestro. Well done.
LOVE this episode.
I waited for an Explorer I because of it’s under the radar aesthetic...the OP is a classic.
Nice video and watch , hope Italy starts to recover soon
Thanks for a wonderful mini-vacation to beautiful and timeless Italy. A fine timepiece to showcase with a little homage to H. WIlsdorf who would smile if he saw this. Cheers.
I recently bought the 39 mil OP with the Rhodium dial straight out of David Robinson’s (AD Altrincham Cheshire) window, stunning dress watch, I was quite surprised to find it in the window, as a result of that purchase I was able to actually put a deposit down on a no date Sub a couple of weeks later not just go on the so called list, so its true guys strike up a relation with your local AD and these watches are available, great video, excellent cinematic content 👍🏻
Always invest in the seller and not in the watch.
That’ll bring you good service.
Amazing videography !
Beautiful !
The time and thought that went into this ... wow.
Every time I start to think that I have broken free from the attraction of a no date watch, a superb video such as this pulls me back in.
Excellent photography!
Well done video. Beautiful timepiece and landscape.
Thanks for the OP education 👍
I own the OP 39 with white dial,,, by far my favorite watch. Although I have not seen my latest purchase. The Blackbay 58. Stuck up at work in northern Canada for another 6 weeks. Been here here 6 weeks already. Can't complain about the money though. Stupid virus, the other crew isn't allowed back until this all tapers down some. The 58 is waiting for me at home though.
Well what can I say? Bloody fantastic job on this Oisin 👍🏻 I didn’t like the watch before - I do now! Seriously awesome video I could watch these all day. Master at work you really are... 😎
One of the very best videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips.
