Rolex Oyster Perpetual Review

Every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. It is extremely resistant, offering an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

The watch is waterproof up to 100 metres, but let's not kid ourselves. Nobody wears this even for a leisure dip in the pool. The 2232 calibre ensures an approximate 55 hours power reserve, which is decent for your daily usage, probably having to wind the watch again every 2.5 days of not wearing.

Although the watch diameter is considered "small" in today's context, do not underestimate the 34mm size as this is one way of pulling off the vintage look in a modern watch today. Finally at this price point, it is a decent price to get into Rolex watches assuming you are able to get your hand on one at an AD.

Of course the Rolex OP comes in a range of colors, the most popular of them all - Tiffany Blue. Hence it really goes down to 3 factors in choosing the "right one". First and foremost, availability, then size and finally personality. I honestly think color aside, the OP 34, 36 and maybe 41 can be worn by both the ladies and gentlemen, making it one of the most versatile watch. Moreover it can also be worn at formal/smart casual events, of course safe colors like blue/black may be suitable in this case.

With a 2232 Rolex calibre, oyster bracelet and pink dial, the perfect gift for her.

Been looking for this watch for my wife...  I am sure everyone is

It's a watch you can wear for every occasion. Honestly if my wife had a 34mm I would barrow it

Beautiful. The watch my wife wanted for Christmas, but ended up with one of the 2022 novelties as it was easier to get, go figure!

Drop more hints! Hahaha! I used it as a proposal gift instead of a ring (which I cannot appreciate)!
