    After months of searching for one I finally found the one and only available in the U.K. my all time favourite Rolex, the shortly run 2019 OP 34mm White dial. These seem to be impossible to find over here. In 6 months I only found a couple in Europe with no box and papers and in fair condition and a couple in the states. The issue was always the extra 20% added due to import costs. This one is mint, comes with everything and was cheaper than all others so over the moon to get it.

    That´s a lovely Rolex and looks great on your wrist! Well worth the hunt for one in the UK! Yes, I live in Germany, and if I were to buy another watch I´d only buy one in Germany to avoid all the import hassle and taxes, despite the EU´s so-called "free" market! It´s all so 19th century, if you ask me! Cheers, and wear and enjoy your OP!

    Thanks. It’s a real hassle, and really costly. A real shame.

    Such a clean white dial! I’ve been considering that model too. The only hesitation is the 34mm size but I bet it wears like a 36mm?
    Do you have a side by side pic of it with both sizes?
    I think the 39mm was horrid. Weird size. They should keep it 36mm from now on.

    I do actually. I have a Black op36 from the same yr which I’m in the process of selling so will post a pic. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and love and have owned many 34mm watches.

    They are like hens teeth, so hard to come buy. There is a 36mm for sale in the USA for about £6300, they’re expensive because they are rare in the sense they never come up.

    Why the 34 and not the 36? Do you prefer the 34mm size?

    Hi @hoshimachi, and welcome to OF.

    What size would you have chosen - and why? :)

    Thank you, really happy to be here.
    I have yet to own a modern Rolex, but so far I actually have both a 34mm and 36mm vintage.
    The 36mm I have inherited from my late grandfather and the 34mm I bought on a whim.
    I love both sizes, but I think 36mm looks good on most peoples wrist. I love my 34mm, but sometimes I wonder if it is "too small".
    Maybe I am just caught up in other people's thoughts and have yet to formulate preference of my own.
