Got myself a white OP 34

So about a week ago I got the watch that I am confident will be worn more over the rest of my life than any watch I currently or will ever own. The white dial 34mm Oyster Perpetual 114200 is literally the perfect watch for me and is everything I hoped it would be and more. It is sturdy, well built, and shockingly heavy yet refined, classy, and clean (I really don't think a cleaner looking watch has ever been made). It can pass as sporty and can be worn with everything from a t shirt and sandals to a suit and tie. It is a simple three hander but it's simplicity is part of what makes it so perfect. It is under the radar and I don't think I've ever tried on a watch that fits me so well. It is the definition of unobtrusive, and the white dial is out of this world. I know I'll be wearing this thing 5+ days a week for decades to come

That is a fine looking watch. Any chance of a pic with the lights out, to see the Luke?

The 34 OP is a great piece and I agree with your assessment 100%.

I made the same move in green about 6 months ago and couldn’t be happier.
