Just landed after waiting since launch.
Never had a yellow dial before and for me this was a surprising issue by Rolex. I was pleased to find the dial was a slightly deeper shade than I expected.
It wears much like my old OP39 on my 7.25inch wrist.
I'm a fan of that. Nice catch!Originally Posted by petay993

These new dial colours are certainly interesting and make a nice change from all the blacks and whites.
Love the yellow OP, tried one on a few weeks ago but it was reserved for someone else. Really like the coral red too but haven't seen one in person.
Arrived this morning.
Thanks, they had a red 36 model in when I was collecting, reserved for someone unfortunately!
There is quite a bit of orange going on in that coral red colour palette, more than I would like personally although it seems very popular as well.
Looks great!Somewhat delighted with this.

SPB237J1 just arrived from Jura today. Delighted with it. Everything I hoped. Hard to capture the textured grey dial through the domed sapphire so have added a pro shot that does.

Lots of run up to the Bank Holiday incomings above and some lovely watches. Just took possession of my third 1521 Squale, the first on a mesh bracelet which is surprisingly good quality, compared to the rubber straps on my others. It's difficult to really capture the curves of the 1521 case in a photo.....
I love the 'tiffany' dial version, think it's a total cracker. But can't even be bothered asking as I know it's 'in demand' so no chance.
The yellow is pretty sweet as well, but would have to be the light blue for me.
Like that a lot. Have never owned one but will get around to it.Lots of run up to the Bank Holiday incomings above and some lovely watches.

I think the turquoise is probably in the top 5 most requested watches so I'm not going to embarrass myself by asking. Need to be in a different tier for that.
Looks nice but haven't seen one in real life. I think I'm a bit too close to Essex to be wearing one of those anyway.
This is a lovely watch. That hand finished dial and rotor is something elseHad a great day today- this is one of 2 I managed to pick up. Big thanks to Martin for making it happen.

I managed to snag my daughter a Turquoise 36 late last year and I am still kicking myself for not doubling up as my AD was still taking deposits at that stage not realising how overwhelming the demand would be.
At least she is happy, which is important

Do these still have the engraving on the side?

Thanks Jack- great to meet you and see your gorgeous watch as well

Arrived today from SC and it looks a good un. I know deep down it’s too small for me but it is lovely.
I think I would like to try it on a bund to help with the size. Steveo makes a G10 bund so I might put out a WTB or bite the bullet and buy one new.
Very nice - 36mm is probably the best size for this one as well IMO.I managed to snag my daughter a Turquoise 36 late last year and I am still kicking myself for not doubling up as my AD was still taking deposits at that stage not realising how overwhelming the demand would be.

These Hamilton Khaki's are excellent VFM. I picked up a 38mm hand wind version about a month back and have been very impressed.
None of mine have the engraving, although I think some still have it.
Thanks, they are a lot of watch for the money..................
The more I see pictures of that. The more I like it. Unsure if I could pull that colour off mind you.I managed to snag my daughter a Turquoise 36 late last year and I am still kicking myself for not doubling up as my AD was still taking deposits at that stage not realising how overwhelming the demand would be.

Nope. It’s blue. Looks lovely

7 month wait. 41mm wears a big on me but I will get used to it. Tried a 36mm in blue on the day I put my name down for this but that size seemed a bit too dainty.

hi where did you get yours ?DHL just delivered, IMO G-Shock perfection, GW-5000U-1JF, with 3495 module

I think the fact it’s not on your wrist in the photos says it all. Nice watch though.
That is rather nice.
I picked this up last week after a nice little face to face with Wiley and Jack. Loving it so far- managed to get the bracelet nice and comfortable and a cracking watch to do anything with.

And now to wait patiently for the team to adjust and regulate and send it on. I'm still not sure how they manage to include tax so I might get a nasty surprise.
Great shot Richard. Lovely watch and easily the most comfortable when in the right range. Sadly with thighs for wrists a 5% expansion of my wrist in heat is more than the adjustment Tudor give!

It's a shame Seiko discontinued their EPD efforts. Solar powered and with no insane battery drain, they could be a very viable alternative to smart 'watches'. I think the new fancy shmancy G-Shocks kinda fill the gap, but they're only available in an oversized form factor for now.
A chunk of German titanium. Should make a nice pair with the EZM3

This too. It's a stunner of a chronograph. I'm struggling to find anything negative about it. The combination of a 40mm case and 42mm bezel looks perfect to me.

My first ever yellow dial watch….
Interesting indeed. Looks nice, only thing I don’t get with that is why it has tachymeter on a dive watch?My first ever yellow dial watch….
After meeting up with Andy (Ey-Up) recently. He had me on the Doxa hunt. This has just landed.
You' think on a dive watch it'll be used any less than normal?
I've no idea but I can't read it anyway haha.
I've lusted after a Doxa like yours for years so as it's now within reach I thought I'd go for the cheap version to see how I get on with it before succumbing to the real thing.
Haha. Yeah your probably right.
I have done that a few times too. I do like the yellow, what is the quality like?
Indeed.
I've got to say the quality is excellent. The case is solid with a mix of polished and matt finishes, crown action is spot on and as it's got an NH35 I don't envisage any timekeeping issues (relatively speaking).
The bezel action is crisp and tight with no vertical or lateral play. Dial and hands are perfect, no imperfections or dust at all. The yellow dial is a really nice yellow, not too bright which was my fear, and the black hands are a perfect contrast.
So far my only criticism is the position of the lug holes. I took the bracelet off as I wanted to fit a rubber but the holes are far too close to the case to fit any other strap I have except a Phoenix nato. This is a known criticism online.
Can't fault it up to now tbh.
