I have been searching for my vintage rolex for some time. Some have been extremely close to what i want and i think it might be 2016 before the right one comes along.

Then i see something recently that is completely different to what i have been searching for but there is something about this vintage watch that i keep going back to... The only issue i have is that it is has 34mm dial. i prefer 36mm.

So this 34mm has a white/ light dial has got me and i may consider pulling the trigger on it. But i need some help...

I am in AUS and unable to physically see this watch to try it on.

I have seen one in a local store, it had a light dial but it had dark markers and a dark band which made the entire watch look small. So, my fear is that i would think that the silver 34mm watch would look similar.

Are there any 34mm white dialed rolex on a stainless steel band wearers out there that can help me with pictures.

i have a wrist that is between 7-7.5inch.

Thank you in advance.

Nothing wrong with 34mm at all, most comfortable size really.

And yes it feels small on my wrist. It's a family heirloom so I love it, but I wouldn't seek one out. I've had DD, DJ, subs, YM, they all feel huge compared to the 34mm.

Thanx... keep them coming...

Hi Greg, I have few and will try to find them and post later.

The 34mm is perfect size if you like medium size watch. You will love it.

I went from 40mm to 47mm at one time but nowadays only wearing 34-40mm size the most.

If you have 7.5 inch wrist, you should just forget about 34mm IMO!

Just get OP 39!

I remeasured and i am a 7inch wrist... YES- i saw the OP 39!!!! OMG!!! but i prefer a lighter dial. the OP 39 have dark faces, and my eyesight isnt what it was......so i find it difficult to read the time. I do like the grey face with the blue accents.....However, if the OP39 came in a lighter face i would seriously consider it....

I am after a vintage watch at this time. i fell in love with the pic of one and i think given the pics posted here, the 34mm would be something that is going to happen for me...

The op39 is now their best model. Used to be the 114270. The 114300 with that grey dial and blue indicies, perfect

Not for me, 34 is way to small for my wrist. But will be the next one for my lady.....

Wish they made this in 36 or 39. Super cool colors and an interesting Milgauss alternative with the green and orange going on.

My wife wears a 34mm Air King as her daily watch. (Black face though).

I think it's a great looking watch.

droptopman · 2 November 2015, 01:33 AM

This is my wife's 1967 1002 on my 7.3 inch wrist.

cosmoliu · 2 November 2015, 01:56 AM

My silver dialed AK, both with original bracelet and on an ostrich strap, which is what I have on today. My wrist also is 7" and while I have a 37mm Seiko 5 beater, I have no interest in going bigger in the Rolex line. The watch simply is too comfortable to wear.
