    What do you guys think? Find the newer Rolexes a bit flashy for my taste but this simple piece is so subtle and elegant.
    As I'm sure you have read, the dial is a semi matt "antique" white and in daylight the lume contrasts sharply as it appears pure white with hint of blue (it isn't Chromalight though). The other thing I find amazing is that the bevelling and height of the hr batons make them appear almost black in most light conditions providing amazing legibility.

    My only gripe; poor micro adjustment of bracelet. Cant seem to find a sweet spot.

    Anyway Summer around the corner for us, so I'm sure the Sub will be back in rotation soon. ;)

    Nice. Like the op39 in white. It’s definitely the one I’d get and is a nice contrast to the sub.

    The baby blue markers are an interesting touch ... very different, and definitely makes it stand out.

    BTW, it will be interesting to see if Part I of this series sets an OF record for the thread with the most number of views and no responses. :D

    ive only been considering the vintage ops, but after seeing this, maybe modern is the way to go!
