That OP39 is a pretty slick piece at its price point. Hard to beat!

OP, imho you need to decide if you want one watch or if this is the start of a collection. Other posters have alluded to this too. If you want one watch only, buy something versatile. Perhaps a sensible coloured fluted dial (I love the blue and like the black), or a sub, depending on what your personal balance between formal and casual/smart casual is. If it is the start of a potential collection, my advice is to buy something you LOVE (it sounds as though nothing has really spoken to you yet) and ideally pre owned as it’s likely you will trade in the future.

Even if you buy what you love now in 10 years your tastes will change and if you have a collection, however large that may be, you will not want to take a bath on any purchases.

I’d start with the sub and eventually buy one of the others.

Hands down, looks the best on your wrist. But most important is what you think. Go with your gut!!! It's for your enjoyment now ours.

This is it!

So I Went to Roma and and we had some very unpleasant adventures with our rent car but I will revert to this later. Just one thing don’t bring your Rolex there especially in the south region.

Anyway I went there moved to the Rolex shop ask to see gmt2 or submariner in steel they got any steel model absolutely no stock. Nothing in the the Rolex shop situated in the center of the most luxurious street of Roma..

Still they got a full gold submariner that I ask to try, it was heavy and so blingy that is was impossible to have a opinion about the sub. The next day we went to one the absolutely beautiful churches that are in the center with my daughter while my wife was doing some shopping. We went out and along the way to the shop I saw a watch seller with some Rolex in the facade. Went in and ask, by any chance do you have any submariner?

Beautiful girl which looked exactly as the girl in love with Jim Carey in the Truman show looked if they got any. And they find one ! Reserved but still available for a try. And when I saw it, i knew it was the one. a beautiful black dial date submariner quitte dressy beautifully sporty and elegant!

I think I made myself for the very first one. I love a lot of models but I think this has to be the first.

Some pics soon
