OP39 in White, anything I should know?

Hey Friends,

I'm about to pull the trigger on the OP39 in White to round out my collection which consists of a 2004 16710 Pepsi GMT and a 2018 Black Seamaster 300m.

Just looking for any feedback from anyone who bought this watch before i lay down the cash!

Thanks!

Three things:

1) The white changes in so many lighting situations that others may feel your bored because you keep staring at your watch.

2) It’s perfectly sized and weighted that it almost disappears from the wrist. You could forget your wearing a watch, but see above because that won’t happen.

3) Your other watches will get jealous at how much time you spend with the 114300 on the wrist.

You’re making a great choice! Looking forward to seeing it on you!

Yes, photos don't capture the dial changing hues in different light/at different angles. Almost appears silver as you look down on it with your arm at your side. Really a great model!

On my 7” wrist, I prefer the 34/36mm. Besides that it’s an amazing watch. If you haven’t tried on the OP 36, I recommend it.

It's not very legible. The white dial doesn't help much. Try it first

I disagree. I think the gold markers produce an obvious contrast. The hands are always perfectly visible.

You obviously have never worn it because if there’s one thing this watch is, it’s legible, very legible.
Great choice. Love mine.

It is also a great looking watch on leather/suede straps.

Stock clasp has three micro-adjustment positions to use.

I love how the dial changes from eggshell, to white to silver in different light.
