39mm Oyster Perpetual color poll

I prefer the black and white dials because of the lume being at each hour. Im not a fan of lume at only 3, 6 and 9 on the other colors.

I am a bit biased though

I'm thinking black although I know better to say without seeing in person. I finally got to try on the white at my AD on friday after much waiting and anticipating I was underwhelmed. IDK maybe just on me as it always looked better on others wrist shots.

Rhodium is my favourite, incredibly versatile and the little pop of blue really adds interest. I voted with my wallet ;)

I have the black dialed OP39 and I love it. I have tried on the white OP39 and I was also underwhelmed. The black just looks better on me.

Having said that I do think the white OP39 looks better in pictures on the forum and will win this poll by a wide margin.

Had blue and loved it, but wanted a date so got the dj41. If I add another OP it’ll be white since I have blue dials covered

1. White
2. Dark Rhodium
3. Black (I’d go Exp1 before the Black though; I’d actually go Exp1 above all the OPs)
4. Blue
5. Grape

The configuration with the white dial is the nicest looking OP 39 to me.

My very first Rolex ever is my OP Blue. Was instantly entranced by it.

The white dial looks different depending on light!

Absolutely correct. I’d own one if it was that bright white many pictures show.

Beautiful piece nonetheless.

That's why I got it, it's not sterile white, has texture & interest.
