I fell in love with this watch more than a year ago and last Oct. 6 I finally pulled the trigger. Perfect on my wrist. Your video captured the beauty of this simple but very elegant timepiece.
@@josecarlos11 I strongly think the blue has more personality to it and very much classy. Let me tell you, the dial takes on different hues depending on the amount of light. Dramatic and stunning.
I totally agree with you about the personality. But I find the steel dial more of a stealth look which I appreciate. Thanks for getting back to me it will definitely help me make a decision @@nakapaa
josecarlos11 Sorry for the slow response to this, as Roy says I’d personally pick the blue, I feel that silver dials get a bit washed out on an already mainly silver watch. I’ve not seen that particular dial in person so I can’t say what shade it is compared to the blue but I do like some of the darker grey anthracite dials as they seem to give off some lovely different tones. The blue can go from being a real deep colour in the shade to being vibrant and bright in sunlight. The red grape dial is another stunning colour too, if they made it with the numerals rather than the batons I probably would have picked that to be fair.
Thanks for the comment, the lume is ok... if I charge it up with a torch or something it's pretty bright for a few minutes then dulls down and is readable in the dark for a few hours. I'm probably not the best judge of this as I have only got one other watch to compare it to. The lume isn't very big so it's not going to glow like a dive watch but I'd say it's decent enough for the type of watch it is. I like that the numerals are also lumed so it's quite easy to read when it is glowing rather than trying to figure out where 12 is. Hope that helps a little. Maybe I'll make a short video comparing the lume to my sieko sarb.
Glenn Buvens Thank you they are beautiful watches, the only other thing I would have liked from it is to have a display case back, you pay all that money to have this refined Rolex movement but you never get to see it which is a bit of a shame. Luckily they are pretty readily available so no ridiculous waiting lists like there are for their sports models. The purple grape dial is beautiful too, I’m undecided on which colour I prefer but ultimately I preferred having the numerals over the double baton style markers. Hope you manage to get yous and enjoy it as much as I do.
I have a 36mm blue dial (3/6/9) Oyster Perpetual hommage watch. It is a 1-1 copy without the Rolex name and i got it to test if the smaller 36mm would fit my wrist and look okay on my close to 7,5" wrist BEFORE I went away and payed for the real thing, and that little 36mm fits perfect. It is the ONLY 36mm watch that looks okay on my wrist and not to small like all other 36mm watches. I did do a wrist check with a real Rolex 36mm Oyster Perpetual but WITHOUT the 3/6/9 and that looked to small. I guess the 3/6/9 numerals makes a big difference and lets the dial look much bigger and more like a 38mm watch.
Yes there is something about it that makes it wear slightly larger than it is, it’s got a fairly chunky case anyways be fair so wears very similarly to my sarb017 which is 38.5mm. I didn’t really try many of the other 36mm ones, in fact I didn’t even get to try this watch before I bought it to be honest as it was a gift from my amazing wife on our wedding day so the first time I actually saw this model was when I put it on. It was between this Rolex and the Omega Aqua Terra Skyfall with the beautiful blue teak dial (horizontal lines), I would have been happy either way to be honest but the Rolex is definitely a much slimmer watch though and hugs my skinny wrist fat better, the Omega is and felt taller when I tried it on, it has got a beautiful movement that you can adore through the case back though.
Do you still own this watch? I have the same watch too and it fits my wrist similar to yours. I have considered selling it multiple times and buy a no date sub instead, but I just can't do it! I have a strong feeling I will regret selling it. This watch is seriously underrated and the dial is definitely sexy af 👌🏻👌🏻
Yep I've still got it, it's a watch I will never sell. As nice as subs are I dont think I would really get any more enjoyment from it and think I'd be a bit underwhelmed by one if I had it. I'd rather get a cheaper but still quality dive watch to compliment it rather than having one or the other. I'm a big fan of colourful sunburst dials so some of the latest releases by seiko have my interest, especially now they are making them in smaller sizes
Thank for commenting, the Tudor is a lovely watch too, I remember trying on the 36 when it first came out in black. Theres not a lot in it, the rolex just has a nicer overall aesthetic in my opinion, I'm a sucker for that sunburst blue dial. I hope you get yours soon and wear it with pride 👍
@@anthonypipia6990 I would have thought so yes, it wears larger than it is in my opinion, my alpinist which has a larger case wears similar on the wrist
