  • I've been browsing and found a Rolex I do like a lot. I've always liked the look of the Explorer I, but the new Oyster Perpetual 36 (126000) with blue dial has got me seriously considering it. I can see that retail on these is ''only'' £4450, but 2nd hand the price is quite a bit different. Do you guys know what sort of waiting time would I be looking at? If I get this watch, it'd be for my birthday next year. I know Rolex is funny with the ''waiting lists'' etc. but this model is the cheapest and maybe not as desired?
    It's either this or the Tudor BB36...
    Talk me out of it maybe?

  • Excellent choice! I waited about 4 weeks for my OP36 last year. It might be a bit longer than that now, especially with it being a brand new model, but it should be nothing like the issues you get with the sports models.

    The BB36 is ok, but the OP is in a different league, it’s a watch for life. Definitely get it to mark an occasion as well, it will add to the attachment.

  • Very well... Please post or PM me some pictures of yours :-)

    I like the white dial too but leaning towards the blue. I already have the black dial on the GS, so probably won't go for that although it does look great.

    And on another note - who pays £1-3k over retail for these? Even if the waiting list is few months...?

  • I waited about 4 weeks for my OP36

    ONLY 4 weeks???

    I wonder how long a new 41 OP would be if the 36 was 4 weeks.

    Who was your AD??? (shhhhh ill keep it a secret)
