If that watch was gifted from your mum, its not just a watch anymore, its a holly grail piece. Congratulations. Hope I could buy one. That watch is beautiful.
What a beautiful story - hope your mother gets to see this video! Happened to drop by this video during my hunt for the 34mm OP - and I am (unexpectedly) leaving with warm heart and strong determination haha. We can all see great things lie ahead of you and your family! Cheers to you
I also wear a 34mm OP. I tried a 34 and a 36 on at the AD with intention on the 36mm prior to my visit. The 34mm however was the clear choice once on my wrist. I’ve owned many nice watches in my 49 years of existence. This watch however is the one. I wear it for all occasions, work, hiking, camping, swimming (not sleeping or showering though). My favourite feature are the tiny roman numerals.
@LanningKann That’s awesome man thanks for sharing :) I love the little Roman numerals too. I just went on vacation and when I’m in the hotels I wear my oyster perpetual to sleep, otherwise I keep it in the box at home.
Love your watch. I've gone from wearing 39mm omega to wanting a 36mm Datejust in silver, to now secretly loving the idea of a 34mm (Maybe white from 2018)... these watches wear so much nicer in smaller size
That was a very mature move to sell your first Rolex to help out your mom. In the end, watches are just things. Thanks for sharing your story! Also, I’m also a fan of smaller cases and I have an average wrist of 7.25 inches. I look at the 34mm OP’s as the compact version of a 36mm for enthusiasts with smaller wrist sizes haha. Although, I’m not opposed to wearing a 34mm myself 😬
I agree. I can wear 36-40mm just fine, but long term I always find my way back to 34mm, just the most comfortable for me. Always good to hear from you Chris, thanks for stopping by!
Perfect size for your wrist... no point in getting an oversized watch. My partner has a 31 green dial OP... she loves it! The OP is pretty understated for a Rolex which I like personally.
I worn a rolex oyster perpetual 34mm since 2011,the size is in reality perfect for any ocasion,not a blimblim rolex,i can use it in subway,bus and in the street and never feel in danger because its a very discret rolex...i love it
Gorgeous watch! Great review, too. I’d love a 34mm OP; my wrist is about 6 1/4” so I think that size would work really well. Your mom is awesome! Keep working hard at whatever you do!
You sound like a great young man. Money is good as long as you know that after you’ve cared for your family the ONLY thing it is good for is to help others. GBU & your family
I've been through several different watches/Rolexes, and currently own a 36mm Explorer, but I can't get the 34mm OP (in blue, or black) out of my mind. Definitely my next watch! Great video
Thank you. Congrats on the weight loss(assuming it’s for good reasons). I think 34-36 looks amazing on a 7-7.5 inch wrist. Definitely give it a shot if you’re able!
Great fit, for sure, and what a classy, timeless piece to enjoy. And such a special connotation, too; love that. I've been wanting one of those discontinued colorful OP36s from a few years back, but so spendy, oof. Ha, anyway. Thanks for sharing! :)
@@WatchesCanBeFun Looks awesome! I have a 6 inch wrist and I am very much considering getting this. I have a 32mm Tudor Black Bay which wears well, I don't think a 34 would wear too large. Loved the story behind this piece, wishing you the best!
That was a very sweet ending. Doing it out of love for your family. Well done. My important watch keeps changing. But originally it has been my square G shock.... currently I'm loving my Omega from 1973 .. please take a look at my Short i made today. I'm hoping to find a long term keeper watch, maybe even OP34
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed. Your omega is pretty cool and I would love to hear the story behind your watches one day. Especially the G-shock and the IWC
As a 18 year old who is scared of people judging him, I totally get it. The best way to build confidence for me has to been posting. I wouldn’t consider myself very confident though.
Thanks! I love the same watch design in 5 different sizes. I hate how Omega tries to do the same with the Aqua Terra, but each time it gets smaller they make the design more feminine which is stupid imo
Good Story, Nice watch. Looks good on you. Take one link out of the bracelet from the 6 o clock side and put it in the 12 o clock bracelet. The clasp will sit better 👍
Funny story I tried that already but I found it to be more comfortable the way it is. I do understand that it makes the watch wear closer to me though. Thanks for watching :)
You have a beautiful, loving family. You are rich. Great Rolex and story behind it. It definitely fits your wrist perfectly. Wear it with both pride and humility. I believe you already do. My favorite watch right now is a Hamilton Khaki Field that I saved up for and purchased for my birthday a few years ago. The watch hobby is fun. It’s cool to see your passion for it, too. Keep enjoying it and chasing your dreams.
That's a amazing story about your life and the best part is your watch is a big part of it ! I'm sure one day you will pass it on to your son or daughter when you are ready to pass the torch!! ⌚👍
Couldn’t agree more, but honestly I think that makes Rolex’s really cool. Add a date, you get the DateJust, add a bezel you get a Turnograph, add an extra hand you get the GMT Master. Etc. Then there’s the Cellini and idk what happened there.
I’ve been there. I used to wear a 20 chrome f91w to school. The #1 best watch is the one on your wrist, enjoy it. If you truly want a Rolex work hard until you can get one.
My son is 18 and never wears his Rolex submariner out. He wears a Tag Heuer daily and sometimes an Omega Seamaster. He is afraid to get the watch stolen. He is a decent size and avid kickboxer. He also works out regularly and can bench 285 lbs. He still will not wear the Rolex outside.
If that watch was gifted from your mum, its not just a watch anymore, its a holly grail piece.
Congratulations.
Hope I could buy one. That watch is beautiful.
Thanks man :)

Wholesomeness and your delivery is honest 😊 subscribers will say we were here from the beginning 🎉
I really appreciate your support :)

Heart warming story...Watch looks great on you. I am sure you will be rich to extend that Rolex collection.🙂
Thank you :) I love this one and if I were to add one I would also love to buy a white air king with Roman numerals 34mm.
Love your watch. I've gone from wearing 39mm omega to wanting a 36mm Datejust in silver, to now secretly loving the idea of a 34mm (Maybe white from 2018)... these watches wear so much nicer in smaller size
Thank you :) I think the op34 white dial is amazing, that white dial appears slightly larger and would look amazing on your wrist
@WatchesCanBeFun brilliant thank you. Could be the one
I have a 34mm OP in white and I bought it in 2019. I just walked in and bought it in 30 minutes. I wear it every day and I adore it
@@Readyteddygo that's lovely to hear. It's on my grail list
@@Readyteddygo also would love to see a few shorts of your 34mm white op, if possible? Just from your phone. Would be great to see

Really appreciate all the kind words :) glad you enjoyed it!
Getting rich is not important young man. You already possess what is most important... Stay on your track.
I suppose doing things you love and being with family is the most important.
Yes, agreed...
Money is important. This isn't a hallmark card he is living in. This is real life.
Looks great on you! what's your wrist size?
@ak2pacalypse Thank you! Roughly 140mm or 5.5inches
You sound like a great young man. Money is good as long as you know that after you’ve cared for your family the ONLY thing it is good for is to help others. GBU & your family
Thank you and well said. Money is important only because of its utility to help others.
i love you so much! I recently just found your mamacoo and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
I've been through several different watches/Rolexes, and currently own a 36mm Explorer, but I can't get the 34mm OP (in blue, or black) out of my mind. Definitely my next watch! Great video
The Explorer is a fantastic watch too :) I also like the 34mm OP In white/silver, that one looks so clean
Looks great on your wrist. Congrats !
Appreciate it!
Great video on a great watch! The 34mm is such a good size on the OP.
Thank you! 34mm is awesome :) I need a modern update on the 34 date ASAP!
for women yes
Congratulations brother, looks perfect on your wrist 👌🏽the single batons look classic
Thank you bro, I totally agree about the single batons
Great story. I have worn mostly 39-42 but was looking at a 34. I have a 7 to 71/2 inch wrist but lost 80 pounds and wrist have been shrinking.
Thank you. Congrats on the weight loss(assuming it’s for good reasons). I think 34-36 looks amazing on a 7-7.5 inch wrist. Definitely give it a shot if you’re able!
Congratulations on your Rolex man! On a list rn for the silver dial super excited for when I get a call:)
Thank you! The silver dial is so beautiful, I’m excited for you lol
you inspired me to get a OP!
Good content!
That’s awesome, thank you!
Great fit, for sure, and what a classy, timeless piece to enjoy. And such a special connotation, too; love that. I've been wanting one of those discontinued colorful OP36s from a few years back, but so spendy, oof. Ha, anyway. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks for the kind words :) the red and green OP’s are awesome but I agree they push the reasonable price.
Very wholesome vid! How big is your wrist btw?
Appreciate it! 5 and a half inches.
@@WatchesCanBeFun Looks awesome! I have a 6 inch wrist and I am very much considering getting this.
I have a 32mm Tudor Black Bay which wears well, I don't think a 34 would wear too large.
Loved the story behind this piece, wishing you the best!
The modern 34 op actually measures about 32 without the crown and I think it would work wonderfully for you. Best of luck collecting!
Great job! I really enjoyed the story behind the watch! Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks so much! 👍🏽
That’s awesome Brother! I just gave my mom a 36 yachtmaster. Keep it up Brother!
No way that’s awesome, I think the yatchmaster is so cool👍🏽
That was a very sweet ending. Doing it out of love for your family. Well done.
My important watch keeps changing. But originally it has been my square G shock.... currently I'm loving my Omega from 1973 .. please take a look at my Short i made today.

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed. Your omega is pretty cool and I would love to hear the story behind your watches one day. Especially the G-shock and the IWC
@WatchesCanBeFun I'll try.... I'm building up my confidence ha ha. Too many watches bought and sold in my 6 years as a watch obsessive
As a 18 year old who is scared of people judging him, I totally get it. The best way to build confidence for me has to been posting. I wouldn’t consider myself very confident though.
@@WatchesCanBeFun your videos are very confident for 18! I'm 39, but still would feel awkward on camera... who knows. I may try
Great video man
Thank you for sharing your experience and story
Appreciate it bro, glad you enjoyed it
Great choice! 34mm or 36mm should be the only option for the OP imo
Thanks! I love the same watch design in 5 different sizes. I hate how Omega tries to do the same with the Aqua Terra, but each time it gets smaller they make the design more feminine which is stupid imo
Awesome vid man, and fantastic watch as well! Big fan of the OP34 👌
Thank you! it’s a super cool watch :)
Good Story, Nice watch. Looks good on you. Take one link out of the bracelet from the 6 o clock side and put it in the 12 o clock bracelet. The clasp will sit better 👍
Funny story I tried that already but I found it to be more comfortable the way it is. I do understand that it makes the watch wear closer to me though. Thanks for watching :)
Thinking you would prefer double batons if you had a bigger wrist?
Nope, I just prefer single batons. I like them on the vintage and modern Datejust and I like them on vintage and modern Oyster Perpetuals.
@@WatchesCanBeFun Great they made that size just how you like it 👍
Really nice watch. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you👍🏽
Great review. Strait to the point and an honest opinion. 👏
Thank you
Nice watch! 34 mm looks great on your wrist 👍
Thank you! :)
Really nice story, as someone who also got gifted as Rolex (exp.) I can totally relate to you keep it up:)
Hey man, appreciate it :) I would be interested in your story
What a great review, but what really makes it is the story.. cherish it and wear it in good health.
Thank you!
Just to clarify a nit. Think you. Have a tiny typo in the video description? This is a 124200 not 12420.
Also looks great! Nice pick.
Good catch, thank you :)
great review and story bro, keep it up
Appreciate it bro, thank you for stopping by
You have a beautiful, loving family. You are rich.
Great Rolex and story behind it. It definitely fits your wrist perfectly. Wear it with both pride and humility. I believe you already do.
My favorite watch right now is a Hamilton Khaki Field that I saved up for and purchased for my birthday a few years ago.

The Hamilton khaki field is an amazing watch! Same to you. I appreciate the kind words and best wishes.
Nice watch young man
thanks
That's a amazing story about your life and the best part is your watch is a big part of it ! I'm sure one day you will pass it on to your son or daughter when you are ready to pass the torch!! ⌚👍
Thanks you :) Having a cool story is awesome. A watch being a part of the story is even better!!
Man I love the blue on that.
It’s cool, glad you enjoyed.
It does look fab, no question
thanks bro
Wrist size?
I could’ve sworn I mentioned it(might have edited it out). It’s 5.5 inches. Cheers
your story about the watch, what you did and your mum did, makes me cry.
I think that watch has no price now.
your wrist size pls?
5.5 inches
This or the date just are the best Rolex models, every everything else is an adaptation
Couldn’t agree more, but honestly I think that makes Rolex’s really cool. Add a date, you get the DateJust, add a bezel you get a Turnograph, add an extra hand you get the GMT Master. Etc. Then there’s the Cellini and idk what happened there.
Great Video!
Thank you!
Bless you. You will be wealthy and prosperous and bless you mother
Thank you, God bless you as well. I really appreciate the support
great story man!
glad you enjoyed it!
You and your brother have a lovely Mother. And nice watch too 😊
Thank you :)
0:21 18mm lug to lug? lolz
Oh my, 18mm lug width** I like small watches but that’s too small
awesome op
Thank you thank you
I wish I could have one but I'm poor and can't have one but I'm still going to get a plastic watch 😔⌚
I’ve been there. I used to wear a 20 chrome f91w to school. The #1 best watch is the one on your wrist, enjoy it. If you truly want a Rolex work hard until you can get one.
@@WatchesCanBeFunim 30 years old and i want to have my First Rolex and i muss Save Money too now i have a breitling colt
The Colt looks really cool, I’d love to try a breitling one day :)
@@WatchesCanBeFun my Breitling is a 38mm one i have small Arms
My son is 18 and never wears his Rolex submariner out. He wears a Tag Heuer daily and sometimes an Omega Seamaster. He is afraid to get the watch stolen. He is a decent size and avid kickboxer. He also works out regularly and can bench 285 lbs. He still will not wear the Rolex outside.

Can you review a men’s watch next time?
Interesting, what do you mean by that?
