OP Celebration question

I’m being offered a Celebration in a 36mm but really had my heart set on a 41mm. I’ve had two local AD’s state that the 41mm are very difficult to come by. Is the true or are they blowing smoke up my a$$? I have yet to try the 36mm on, as it should be here in the next week or so. For those that have the 36mm, what’s your opinion on it?

The 36 a nice size. How large is your wrist?

I love a 36mm OP or Explorer. I am 6’1 with a 7.25 inch wrist.

Unless you are superdeedooper special, I would hazard a guess that you wouldn’t be offered a 41 if you pass on this.

Really? Yes, any Celebration dial is hard to acquire from an AD.

Personally, I think the 36 is the best size for a man. Classic.

Take the 36mm and swap it with some cash to a grey market dealer for the 41mm. I would not decline this watch!

About 6.5” or slightly under.

You should try it on in store before making a final decision.

Personally the OP 41 is the perfect size for me. I would only go for the 41…

From my understanding the 36 is more in demand and harder to get bc women and men are requesting for this size…

Yes the 41 is hard to come by but so is any size of this dial. You should try on the 36 if offered but I would only want the 41.
