one of the best looking watches in the Rolex lineup. Truest to the heritage of Rolex--sports watch, oyster case, no nonsense, brushed bracelet, rugged, versatile.
This watch reminds me of my first ever Felicia wind up watch when I was a kid. My dad bought it for me so I wouldn't be late for school as I had to catch a train and a bus to get there. This would be a nice addition to dedicate those great times of my youth. I hope you still have it Bear. It's a classic. The Rolex OP, not my old Felicia. :)
it addresses a lot of things some people dont like about the datejust 41. The size, the polished center links, and the cyclops lens. I guess most people will not buy these if they just want a “rolex” watch because the design is so subdued and doesnt scream rolex at all. Its the watch enthusiasts who will appreciate this watch.
I bought my first Rolex last year at Joseph Anthony-a Z-Blue Milgauss. I couldn't be happier! Now I have my eye on this. I guess you can't just have one!!
Initially I was attracted to the grape dial, but the white is so crisp and clean in matte finish. It is my next watch purchase. I'm so pleased they released the 39mm. Great choice!
Never considered an OP before but as you noted this white reference OP might look great next to my Explorer. Will have to see it at a local AD. Thanks Bear for bringing this watch to my attention.
Gosh I so super like the simplicity of this watch. No date to adjust every month you just let it breath in your wrist. What makes this watch so special is its Rolex brand makes it special not the complications. The Rolex brand name is enough no need to complicate things. I am always a fan of simple but elegant watch and that is the true meaning of luxury.
This watch looks even better in person, and better still when you put it on. Anyone considering this model, GO look at it like I did, it is striking and presents very clean on your wrist.
Thanks for the shout-out Mike! Honest to God I just heard it now even though I’ve seen the video many times!😆 Love you and your channel Mike! Keep up the great work and I promise that you will always have my support!👍🏻 Warmest Regards, Yours truly, Hisham.
Scored the black dial version 3 weeks ago and I'm more than happy and blessed to have one.super comfy super ledgable and after 3 weeks it's bang on time with the atomic clock ⏰ a proper no b s daily wear.I'm in 💘
I had the explorer 1 and this OP 39 in white and it's a very difficult choice to make. The white dial is stunning and the fact it has the same movement as the explorer and about $1000 cheaper makes this a very serious contender.
Bob FromBrisbane welcome.! Archie and Clyde friends are more than welcome to my channel. I think you will be very pleased with this watch. Thank you for joining me and for watching.
Watched this video fairly early on and now coming back. The white wasn’t my preferred color in the beginning - I was leaning towards the Rhodium, black or maybe blue. Then I went to check the DJ, the Seamaster, the IWCs... Now I think I’m wanting the OP white more than the other options - it’s something that draws you in gradually. Good choice and great review!
I will not consider that as an “entry-level” it might have a lower price that’s a datejust or explorer I , but firstly it doesn’t lack details and quality compared to more expensive models of the brand and secondly you will still get a luxury timepiece ., a Rolex ! No entry level status here
@@Weakeyedominant They're not talking about "watches". They're are talking about watches with *in-house movements*. Watches with *in-house movements* often run $100,000. The watches in the video are absolutely entry level.
Great video, thank you! I have it with the black dial, it was an extremely hard choice to make but I am still certain the black is the one for me. The OP 39 black/white is by far the best model from the present rolex range.
Austin Daniels hey buddy so nice to see you on my channel. I actually thought of you when I was looking at this watch. I know how you feel about modern Rolex watches, yet this one could have all attributes you found appealing and it gives you choice to have NEVER POLISHED Rolex. Thanks so much for watching and I am looking forward to your new video.
Austin Daniels I think 36mm is the way to go as you will find the new oyster perpetuals at 36mm wear and feel bigger. In the end it all depends on your wrist size.
Bear Clooney Watches that’s what I thought too until I recently bought my 36mm op. When I was at the authorized dealer I tried the 39mm op and it felt too big and didn’t fit right, I found the 36mm to fit and wear perfect. The 36 op wears and feels bigger than a previously owned Hamilton khaki field 38mm. Best to try on both but again it depends on wrist size as I have small wrists I find the 36mm to be perfect. I have some short wrist shot videos on my channel, have a look for a better comparison.
Dear Mr. Clooney, I just came across and viewed your thorough personal analysis of the Oyster Perpetual with the matte white dial. You are an extraordinary advocate for this watch which sometimes seems to be overlooked because of what is perhaps too great an emphasis on Rolex Submariners and Daytona Cosmographs. The OP is indeed worthy of more respect. As one of the only available new Roles stainless steel watches for purchase at Rolex ADs, it still does not get the kind of attention of which it is deserving. The colored dials give buyers some interesting choices. I know that display backs have never been used by Rolex but the beauty of the movement is worthy of a display back. If the Oyster Perpetual was to be distinguished as the only Rolex with a display case, it might be something that would ignite greater interest in the Oyster Perpetual. There would be great enjoyment in being able to take the watch off one’s wrist and view the movement in operation. I always like your videos because you speak from your heart and manifest a deep and abiding love for horology. Best regards.
You ask: the white vs the black. The black is breath taking, so deep. The white is more 2d, but arresting for the unanticipated complexity of its sheen. Vote is tough because in person the black takes my breath away. But the white has an unforgettable, classic layout. Since you already have the Explorer, this is perfect.
Thank you for the review. This was my choice for 2018 Basel show as well. I really want to get this one since i don't owe Rolex yet. Not sure which dial black or white though. Black dial is more sportier, i think, while white is more dressy. Price wise it is an entry level watch but i don't consider it that way. This is probably the best looking and classy Rolex (at least for me). If you are looking for one perfect luxury watch which you can dress up and down, wear on bracelet or on the leather strap i can't see anything better on the market now. This would be one perfect watch (without complications) for all occasions.. I just can't see how you can go wrong with it So your journey to find a one perfect watch is pretty much accomplished, or at least to me. I would call it perfect sports watch. I was thinking about getting Explorer 1 but now that i see OP39 white/black i think this would be my choice. These OP 39 mm in white/black dials made me changed my mind. In your video "Top 5 watches that indicate someone is watch enthusiast" , as of now, i would probably put OP in number one spot. I already have Speedy and GS SBGR261, so OP 39 would be a perfect addition to my collection, which also includes Nomos Orion 38, B&M Chronograph 65542 , Halios Seaforth and G shock.
This white dial has got me back in love with the 114300. Congratulations on the new watch. It suits you very very well. Btw, how can I contact you privately for some questions? Stay blessed. Peace.
Hi Emkwan, do you still wear your grey dial 114300? I bought the OP39 after watching your Review, it is a great watch, love the simplicity. I went for the blue. The white does look great, gives it a completely different look. Have never seen any reviews in the Bear Cave before great detailed review Mr Clooney. Dave.
Hi Dave. Yes I still have it. Though I've been contemplating selling it an purchasing another watch. It's funny though, something keeps coming up which makes it difficult to sell. Maybe it's meant to remain in my collection. I do like the white dial and how eligeable it is. The rhodium suffers in low light sometimes.
Amazing how you take your time to present the history, the details of the piece and its purpose. I really wanted Rolex to have released an OP39 in an interesting colour but unfortunately for me they came up with black and white at this BW2018. I find it a little bit bland and I fear I would get bored of it very quickly. If I had to pick one it'd be the black one.
Nexus Achiles thank you for truly nice compliment. I am sure you are aware that Rolex OP 39mm came out in some really vibrant colours. Check it out. Those might be to your taste. All the best.
Bear Clooney Watches cheers Bear. I really enjoy this channel. It’s a shame some of the better watch channels are not as well known as some of the more sensational ones. Caseback watches is another I enjoy. Looking forward to the new Daytona vid.
I've been debating between the black Oyster Perpetual 39mm versus the Explorer (39mm). It's a tough call. I'm leaning OP b/c it's about $900 less costly wherever I look.
Nice looking watch. Must be one oph the phirst ones. Could have pulled the trigger on one down here, but chose GMT2 instead. #whitedialprivilege Oh...and btw...PHIST
Mike if you still own these watches, I would love to see you do an OP vs Explorer comparison. Or vs the Datejust 41. As always, I find your well informed opinion be in invaluable.
Joeyjoejoe thank you so much for watching and feedback. Yes this watch is very monochromatic and of you like little touch of vibrant orange white dial Milgauss is certainly great choice. I did presentation video of white dial Milgauss on this channel as well. Please check it out. Thanks again.
White dial 100% ,this bracelet in hot days is nightmare i notice in my explorer even comfort link is not enough! Another problem with this watch when you check time is hard to tell is 4 or 5 becouse markers are same this problem not exist with explorer(369)...36 or 34 mm op have diffrent markers on 369 positions it helps to read time (or maybe i drink too much:)
Brandon Wood I personally do not feel that fate is necessary for every day watch, but I do understand your concern. Thank you for watching and feedback.
Honestly for the price. I mise well just get a sub. It's not much cheaper. I can get a nice used sub for 6k. Sorry for the pessimistic comments. I do like your channel allot.
James, those are two very different watches! This one is slightly more universal in it's role as daily time piece and it's lower price. Rolex Sub is an icon. I can not make this decision for you, but I can tell you that you will not make a mistake getting either one of these great watches. Thanks so much for watching and hope to see you back soon
Bear Clooney Watches I saw the 39 grape the other day. Might be tough to match all clothes with, and some might feel self conscious with purple, but on its own merits, I was thoroughly impressed by its beauty.
It will be great if you can do a quick video of comparing Explorer to your OP, these two models are the ones im considering. Love milgauss too, but a bit over my price range
Excellent choice and review! I'm set on a 34mm OP if I get this dial, but I'm curious your wrist size. Thank you in advance and wear it in good health!
Thanks for this. I am looking to buy this exact watch or the SS Daytona white face. You mention repeatedly "entry level" for the 39mm White OP. Why is this "entry level" ? Is there some lack of kudos to buy an "entry level" Rolex ?
Thank you for this wonderful review. I am on the fence between this model (with black face) and the Explorer model. Do you have any thoughts on why someone should get one over the other?
Bear Clooney Watches thought so, I like my DJ 16234 but I really prefer my seconds hands to come to a defined point. Thank you replying. Have a good one mate!
Sorry for this late comment but I thought all Rolex Explorers (Explorer I) were black dial. You mention a Polar Explorer white dial Explorer I - is there such a thing? Thanks.
Hi Bear, i’m considering purchasing a Rolex OP 39 in white or an Omega speedmaster professional moon watch 1861. I love both of these and was wondering what you thought would be a better purchase since you own both. Love the channel, Keep up the great work.
one of the best looking watches in the Rolex lineup. Truest to the heritage of Rolex--sports watch, oyster case, no nonsense, brushed bracelet, rugged, versatile.
Thank you
This watch reminds me of my first ever Felicia wind up watch when I was a kid. My dad bought it for me so I wouldn't be late for school as I had to catch a train and a bus to get there. This would be a nice addition to dedicate those great times of my youth. I hope you still have it Bear. It's a classic. The Rolex OP, not my old Felicia. :)
Thanks for sharing!
best looking dial in all or Rolex's line up. That dial looks amazing in the sunlight
ChestyMD one of the best for sure. Thank you for watching and feedback
it addresses a lot of things some people dont like about the datejust 41. The size, the polished center links, and the cyclops lens. I guess most people will not buy these if they just want a “rolex” watch because the design is so subdued and doesnt scream rolex at all. Its the watch enthusiasts who will appreciate this watch.
AtitG what can I say. This is truly great observation and I appreciate your analysis and watching my video.
I think both the black and white dial models are two of the finest looking Rolex watches in the current collection.
I will certainly not argue against your point! lol Thank you for watching and feedback
I bought my first Rolex last year at Joseph Anthony-a Z-Blue Milgauss. I couldn't be happier! Now I have my eye on this. I guess you can't just have one!!
Andrew Tuer one is like none! 😉 You made great choices in watches, brand and dealer. My most sincere respect! Glad to see you here!
I got the one with the blue dial. Very beautiful. If I only opt for a one-watch collection, this would be in it
Initially I was attracted to the grape dial, but the white is so crisp and clean in matte finish. It is my next watch purchase. I'm so pleased they released the 39mm. Great choice!

Beautiful in its symmetry and clean simplicity. All it needs to be perfect is the new 32- - movement and perhaps an option for a jubilee bracelet.
Interesting suggestion regarding jubilee bracelet.

VaggnerVanLange I can certainly agree with you and see your point
Many consider it the exit watch. If someone was only going to own one Rolex this one would be a candidate.
It's like calling a RR an entry level car. I don't know why any sales man would refer to these watches that way.
@@Weakeyedominant They're not talking about "watches". They're are talking about watches with *in-house movements*. Watches with *in-house movements* often run $100,000. The watches in the video are absolutely entry level.
@@secondopinion6654 pretty sure every Rolex movement is in house. Tudor will use eta on their entry level watches but everything Rolex is in house.

Wow, that's beautiful - simple and elegant! I've always been keen on 36mm Perpetuals, but maybe the 39mm is the way to go...

I prefer the white dial, in fact I am on the list for that watch at my AD. The black dial is also cool but I prefer an Explorer to the OP black.
I know everyone bangs on about how rare white dials are on Rolex but... I much prefer the black version (from pics and vids only)

You forgot 36mm in the sizes, which I thought was the historical diameter of the OP. The date was 34mm if I recall.

Robert Padilla thank you 🙏. Frankly those are both great choices. I would highly recommend preceramic Rolex Explorer II in 40mm size.
Robert Padilla yes my brother. Explorer II white dial is the one for you. Its really amazing with the orange GMT needle. It stands out alot
Awesome review! I am deciding between this one and the submariner... which one should I choose...
James, those are two very different watches! This one is slightly more universal in it's role as daily time piece and it's lower price. Rolex Sub is an icon. I can not make this decision for you, but I can tell you that you will not make a mistake getting either one of these great watches. Thanks so much for watching and hope to see you back soon
James Park Get the sub bro. Your future self can thank me later.
haha alrighty leaning towards sub already
btw how about for office? still sub?
James Park what about an Explorer?
nice review👍 can you pls do a comparison of oyster perpetual white dial and explorer1. if possible do a wrist shot of both watches. thanks
ayrton nathan thank you for watching and feedback. I will look into your request.
36mm is the king for healthy people
Why are jewelers so obsessively weird about how they flip over watches and constantly wiping the crystal with their gloves?
Andrew Chiles I am not a jeweller. I do it because I want watch to be shown in it’s best light.
Clasp closes like a bank vault 👌
I love this watch i wanted to get this or the grape dial.
This or black! Forget grape dial
Bear Clooney Watches I saw the 39 grape the other day. Might be tough to match all clothes with, and some might feel self conscious with purple, but on its own merits, I was thoroughly impressed by its beauty.
have you ever put a 34mm on your wrist? you cant tell a difference between the other sizes
Trevor Hutcheson yes I had 34mm Rolex Precision mechanical winding movement. No o could not wear that watch. Not even close.
Love your videos, and congratulations to great watch, i hope i will be able to get rolex too one day :)
FleshPie212 thank you so much. I am sure you will.
It will be great if you can do a quick video of comparing Explorer to your OP, these two models are the ones im considering. Love milgauss too, but a bit over my price range
i will look into it eventually
Not a bad little watch...
Thank you!
Hi Bear,
Where did you buy this timepiece and did you get a discount?
Thanks
vant1472 most of my recent timepieces are purchased at Joseph Anthony jewelry store in Windsor Ontario. I am sorry but I don’t discuss prices.
Thanks for the getting back to me. Also, that’s a very clean time timepiece and wear it good health.
vant1472 thank you.
Excellent choice and review! I'm set on a 34mm OP if I get this dial, but I'm curious your wrist size. Thank you in advance and wear it in good health!
WI Watch Guy thank you so much. My wrist is 7.25”.
Thanks for this.
I am looking to buy this exact watch or the SS Daytona white face. You mention repeatedly "entry level" for the 39mm White OP. Why is this "entry level" ? Is there some lack of kudos to buy an "entry level" Rolex ?
buddybeetle it is entry level Rolex watch based on price. Keep in mind that it’s still exceptional timepiece
Does it wears smaller or the same as the Explorer 39mm?
Guilherme it wears slightly smaller. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the response. I appreciate.
Guilherme my pleasure
Bear do you still have the 39m op ? If so how you finding it ? I’m due to pick mine up this weekend 👍
Brizzy 91270 excellent choice
how are you finding your OP?
Thank you for this wonderful review. I am on the fence between this model (with black face) and the Explorer model. Do you have any thoughts on why someone should get one over the other?
Nice pick up! Cheers.
Vincent Bailey thanks!
Np really like the second hand, it comes to a point and not the normal stick, right?
Vincent Bailey right.
Bear Clooney Watches thought so, I like my DJ 16234 but I really prefer my seconds hands to come to a defined point. Thank you replying. Have a good one mate!
Sorry for this late comment but I thought all Rolex Explorers (Explorer I) were black dial. You mention a Polar Explorer white dial Explorer I - is there such a thing? Thanks.
Hi Bear, i’m considering purchasing a Rolex OP 39 in white or an Omega speedmaster professional moon watch 1861. I love both of these and was wondering what you thought would be a better purchase since you own both. Love the channel, Keep up the great work.
Rolex OP 39 is better purchase. Thanks for watching and your kind and encouraging words.
Great thank you!
Beautiful watch , the real one to go to Mount Everest and be displayed in a fish tank .... I can’t wait to purchase one
Bear please give me a rating. This watch ? or the DJ41 (blue dial) or an Explorer?
