      Shame on watchfinder, absolutely disgusting for encouraging flipping and flippers, and selling Rolex watches for extortionate prices, way more than the market rate. Also offering very poorly when buying a watch from public.

      So similar. I've got 2 JLC's and a R. 116500 LN along with a few traditional 5600 based G-Shocks. They are my go to everyday rocks and I appreciate the higher stuff wearing now and then. I'd been waiting for an Oyster Perpetual 36 Tiffany dial. I hadn't even seen an OP until they introduced the colour. I was just blown away with the genius in the simplicity of it. The case, the strap the whole thing. I couldn't believe how I'd missed this masterpiece for years looking down at it. It's the Rolex G-Shock tough as nails sport watch for me that's suits my active lifestyle perfectly. Simply a spectacular piece; watching this just cements it. 👍

    I could be wrong on this because I have not seen both in person, but why increase the size to 41mm when you already have the Rolex datejust with the smooth bezel. Do the watches where that differently (again I haven’t worn the oyster perpetual 41). To me the line up made more sense at 39 and if you needed something slightly bigger then you could go to the Rolex datejust 41 with the smooth bezel.

  • @cliffwheeler7357
    @cliffwheeler7357 4 года назад +5

    The 39mm with the blue sunburst dial was perfect, So glad I purchased mine before Rolex made one of their biggest errors. Another mistake on the 41mm are the double indicies at 3 6 and 9 which have totally ruined the symmetry of what was a perfect dial. The only positive from all of this is apparently the 39mm became an instant collectors item.

    Two comments:
    (1) If you measure the OP41 with calipers , it actually checks in at 39.5mm, so only a hair bigger than the OP39 (which measures in at a true 39mm). If the watch dimensions are gonna be the main basis for your review, please do the bare minimum of due diligence before posting.
    (2) The statement that the new 3230 movement is only "imperceptibly better" than the old 3130 is just wild. Between the improved shock resistance, magnetic field resistance, temperature insensitivity, and vastly increased power reserve (70 hrs vs 48 hrs!), it really is leagues ahead of the old one.
