I have a 14270 “Swiss” only dial and absolutely love it. It gets a lot of wrist time and it’s a strap monster. Here it with an Everest band.

I had the 39mm. But just too much empty space on the dial. And a big flat bezel. I traded for a 114270. Much happier with it. It’s a stunner, really. Everything in perfect proportion.

I have both 114270 & 214270, I am a big fan of both!

It's funny - that empty space on the dial is what attracted me to the 214270. Different strokes...

Also, don't underestimate the overall build quality improvements that rolex makes over the years. Those are not specified on a spec sheet, but that's the first thing you'll realize when you have an old and a modern Rolex in hand.
The 39mm dosent suit my tiny wrist very well. Compare to the tudor date day 36mm that I already have, I know this is the size that I need. And for me, older is better

Here is the best deal that I've spotted there.

About $5000 but that shop cannot offer tax free. At least the set is complete if I am not wrong.
