Thanks for all your advice, and please help me celebrate
On June 16, I asked the forum whether I should get an OP 34 or 36.

Most of you said 36, though a few gave good reasons to go for a more vintage look with a 34 (one person gave good advice that a DJ 34 is an excellent value). A bunch of you said go OP 39 or go home! :)

The pics show the decision I made (I bought it for my birthday this month). Thanks, everyone! This is my one and only fine timepiece.

Great watch, congratulations and happy birthday.I got the black and the AD experience was great. I really like the double indices, it helps tell time in the dark.

I think the black and white dials are equally awesome! And like you, I really like the double indices (and the small Arabic numerals in the outer track). I know that opinions are divided about the double indices, but I somehow prefer the 36 dial to the 34 and 39.
