Most Boring Rolex = The BEST Rolex. The Oyster Perpetual

The Most Boring Rolex = The BEST Rolex my Rolex Oyster Perpetual is my favourite watch in my collection. It's one of those watches I know I am going to own and love forever. Even when I am a little old lady, I am going to be wearing this watch. A complaint I always hear about the Rolex OP is that it is TOO BORING, but this video is a defence of the boring watch. The boringness isn't a fault, it's a feature!

One person's "boring" is another person's "versatile." I look at buying a watch for its versatility and with how many outfits or situations I could wear it. I'm right on board with you, Britt. This watch is a classic, standalone piece. In all honesty, I am 45 and my goal is to score my first Rolex for my 50th birthday to mark the occasion. This is the watch I'm aiming for.

Bought this exact watch as my first luxury watch, celebrating my first promotion. As a man with roughly 6.75 inch wrist, I sometimes feel it’s a bit small and boring, but as you said - it’s absolutely timeless. It never feels out of place with any outfit, exactly BECAUSE of it’s size. It’s something gentlemen wore 70 years ago and no one bat an eye. Maybe it is the most “stealth wealth“ luxury watch from the prestigious brands. Not a day has gone by that I didn’t wear it and I still love it, 8 months later. This one will be my heirloom to future kids.

I must say, I find your content refreshing. I subscribe to many watch channels (many are acquaintances of yours), and yours stands out the most. Keep up the brilliant work.

[VmanStudioz]

100% Agree. As a man, I would pick the Explorer. Some say it’s the least amount of Rolex you can get. However, at the same time; the OP is the Most Rolex you really ever need. The wind, the way the hands feel when you set the time are identical to that of a Daytona. Great content Brit 🙏🏼⌚️

I also love the OP for its simplicity, which doesn't equate to boredom to me. The most important thing is that you have recovered pretty well from the bike accident injury. That the OP survived too is just a nice bonus.

I bought the OP 36 with the black dial from my AD for my wife last year and she wears it 24/7.
It's an incredible watch! Even though I have an Airking and a DJ 41 with jubilee and green dial I'm falling more and more in love with that watch and I'm thinking of getting an OP 36 myself.
Awesome watch and definitely one of the best rolexes out there.
Greetings from Switzerland and keep up the good work!

Fully agree. If I would ever buy a Rolex, it would be an Oyster Perpetual. Classic, timeless and perfect for every situation.

My first Rolex was a Gold Shell OP date that I purchased back in 1984. It was my daily driver for 33 years, before I started to get more serious into my Rolex collection. On another topic it's shocking to hear how serious your accident was. You seem like you are back to 100% now, , which must bee a huge relief. So glad you and your OP survived to continue to bring us great watch content!

Never been much of a Rolex fan but this watch is neat and understated. Love it.

[bipennate]

Here's my hot-take: almost every Rolex is "the most boring Rolex." But that's also a testament to the Rolex formula being so universally pleasing and yes, iconic. In my opinion, there are a few rolexes that would capture your attention because of their design specifically - for me, the sky dweller or honestly the 1908 are stare-worthy designs - but otherwise, it's the fact that the name on the watch is Rolex that stirs the emotions. And that's ok, too

[MJOffizieller]

it is, it is like a nice cone of vanilla ice cream!!! And I love it too. I have an old DJ with a champagne dial. If I ever buy another Rolex, this will be that next one. For me the perfect two watch collection. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I have the 36 black dial and it can easily be the only watch I need in the collection. I am for simplicity / minimalism and I love the OP for it. It works with anything you wear. Jack of all trades

I've just arrived on your site because, first of all, I love watches and I love people who know how to talk about them with a sense of humour, product knowledge and a natural feel. Continue to make beautiful videos like the one you're making now with the naturalness you have I encourage and support your site. Excuse my English, I'm French, I don't master the language of Shakespeare.

Britt, I’m with you on this one. I own a DJ41 and an OP39. My boring unsung hero is the OP. I absolutely love wearing it. It’s low key and used as my daily driver. Simple, yet classy. Love yours and the Roman numerals give it an extra touch. Glad you are doing better 😊.

[kelvinwong]

Totally agree with your review, the only Rolex watches I want are the OP36 and Explorer36, simple and "go anywhere, do anything" without being flashy while still enjoying the quality that Rolex provides. Also if I have to choose one youtube channel to watch forever, it would be yours!

[grzegorzprzybysz]

so good to see you recovering from that terrible accident 💕mad love and respect
I love your content, thanks to you I'm into watches😋you are amazing girl

[paulsmithchannel]

First time watching one of your videos. Really enjoyed it. I like your presentation style and all-around vibe. Subscribed.

Just today I received my Grandfather’s OP from the 1970s. It’s in great condition, and I love the simple elegance. It may be boring to others, but I love it!

[williamsmith]

Definitely not boring, but understated. That is the whole pount of the OP for me. It says class not flash. A tool that does exactly what a watch should, extremely well. There is nothing to get bored of when you look at it. Everything in the right proportion exactly where it should be.

[evalost]

Its not a boring watch at all love the different color dials you can get eith this Rolex its a true classic as well and the fact that it has so little damage after the accident speaks to how great the craftsmanship to the watch speaks for it self also have happy Sunday
