I'm tempted by the 39mm OP in white. I think my Mrs would wear it too. Looks much nicer in the metal than in photo's, it's a very soft matt white.

The white is so clean looking almost clinical. Just a beautiful range of perfect wrist watches

Love mine, barely been off my wrist since I got it in March.

Dinoboy is that the 36mm or 39mm

Yeh, 36 is the only one that has the 3/6/9 dial.

[bazza.]

I went for a 39mm Red myself

Bought mine 30 years ago for £1400 (it was 6 months old and the owner part exed it for a solid gold one!!) .............



Thing of beauty in my eyes - was offered 3.5k for it last year, could of done with the cash at the time but couldn’t bear to part with it.

Aren’t all these watches perpetuals (or Datejusts) in oyster cases?

I thought the precision was an older discontinued manual wound (non COSC) watch and perpetual as the name suggests is self winding.

Or is the precision just a common name for an oyster perpetual?

OP’s watch is not “precision” or Oysterdate

No it’s a perpetual as I said. Yours is a Datejust isn’t it?

Yes that’s the question I’m asking.

Why are you posting pictures of a Datejust in a thread about Rolex precisions?

Are perpetuals (and Datejust’s) known as precision still?

I thought the precision was a different watch? It seemed odd that a thread titled “Rolex precision” didn’t actually have any Rolex precisions in it?

That’s why I’m asking if perpetuals and Datejusts like yours are known as precision in Rolex circles or is it just that they have the same kind of case?

You seem to know all the answers to your own questions so crack on.

Nice one They were also made as an Oysterdate version.

Precision was the range of lower end Rolexes without COSC certification - for example, the older Air Kings. It's nothing to do with being automatic or not.

The title of the thread is therefore a bit misleading, as it's about the entry level Oyster Perpetual (automatic) watches. These are of course COSC certified, as shown by the 'Superlative Chronometer' - Rolexes own term.

They are also very nice watches! I'd definitely go for one of I didn't have a Milgauss.

OK ... I'll withdraw and take my watch to the council thread

Put an offer on a Blue 36mm today instead, since trying the wife's on I think it will be the perfect dress watch for me

Such a classy watch.

[hilly10]

Since wearing my OP today with a suit I think I have found the perfect understated dress watch and with a 7 and a half inch wrist the 36mm is the perfect size
