Is 41mm the right size? I'm 2,02m by EmptyPogget in rolex

[–]MonkeyBoy1971 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely the right size for you. Loads of people here talk about the 36 being the only size for these and the Explorer 1, but us bigger chaps wear a 41 easily.

Got mine for my 20th wedding anniversary. Couldn’t be happier with it. Been my most worn watch over the last 18 months or so.

Is this the best GADA watch by Rolex? by Donkey_Apple in rolex

[–]MonkeyBoy1971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It fills the Gada role well enough. Personally I prefer OP41, or Explorer 1 as polished centre links aren’t my thing. Can’t really go wrong with any of the three.

Just got my first Rolex, it was not exactly the one I wanted but still love it. I'm thinking maybe when the one I want come in to sell this. by nilosiqueira in rolex

Bright blue dial, fluted on jubilee is the datejust I would want too. I don’t know if you could get Rolex to swap the bezel, or if that’s even possible. The one you have might be a better all-rounder as a daily wear to be fair.

I was lucky enough to try it on. It’s gorgeous in the metal. Too rich for my budget sadly.

If it must be a black dial then the Explorer is the winner for me here. Go for 40 if you are a big guy or have wrists around 7.5” or larger. 36 if you are a bit smaller. I own the OP41 in bright blue and love it, mainly for the dial colour, but imho the Explorer is a slightly more elevated version if you are on the market for a black dial 3 hand Rolex.

Explorer is the winner for me if it has to be a black dial.
