Silver OP 41

This watch seems interesting. Only OP with yellow gold lume periphery. Silver dial and gold accent seems like an interesting pairing. For those that own this watch, do you like it? Seems to give off a dressier, classic vibe yet having a modern simplicity. Would you buy it again? Thanks in advance.

Silver OP 41

I'm fond of it and own one; it's considerably less popular than the odd ball colored ones. The dial is beautiful.

I was offered one when they first came out and turned it down. I now regret the decision. Great value for the price. And I love how comfortable the OP41 is on the wrist. As comfy as an oysterflex.

This is probably my favorite OP. If I was ever offered this watch. I would definitely add it to the collection.

That's one of my favorites, currently. Shooting for dressy, I'd lean 36 and 41 for a little sporty bulk. From what others have said they slimmed down the 34, where it wears quite a bit smaller, than the previous generation.

Not bad, but I just can't get over the double sticks at 3, 6, and 9. Just odd to me. Throw the gold 3, 6, and 9 arabic numbers from the two tone Explorer on it and you have something really nice.

Don’t own it but tried on this variant in 36mm and really loved it. Good mix of classic OP but a little playfulness with the yellow gold accents

The double batons are great for night time time-telling.

I have it and I think it’s very underrated. It has a dressy but also sporty side to it. I believe the silver dial is actually the sundust dial.

If you want a conservative, sensible looking OP. If I get the new one I want the oddball I was drunk when I tried it on sort..

I love mine. Very comfortable and versatile.

It was Rolex's halo model for the new OP lineup before Turquoise stole the show.

It looks in between dressy and casual. Works in all situations.

I like 2 tone and yellow gold but I also like low-key and this gives you everything.

I also like unique pieces in a lineup. So if you like having unique and rare stuff it's good for that too.

I got the 34mm version for my wife, and she loves it. She had her pick of the dials, and she specifically chose silver. It's got a timeless, understated vibe. The yellow gold accents give it just a little bit of pop as well.

Saw it in person today. It’s very nice as most have said. Really unique color scheme. I can see many passing this one up with the many matte or Sunday dial options. Wife loved it too and wants to get a 36mm.

On the list for this in 36mm and these threads are certainly not helping the wait...

Got the 34mm for my wife, her choice of dial, and it is stunning. Best and most timeless current OP IMO

Double sticks is why I sold my turquoise. I couldn't shake it. They haunted me. They draw your eyes in before you have a chance to even check the time and appear off balance. 🧈🧈

Single sticks would be my preference.

Yes it's a nice dial color OP. For sure

I was so so with the double sticks when I first saw photos of the OP41, but eventually I warmed up to them.

I do like the silver, but just put myself on the waiting list for the bright blue

I've seen it in person and it certainly has a vintage look to it. It's probably the only color of the new OP line I would wear.

Lovely.

The double batons was weird to me at first in pictures. In person it's just more yellow gold and it's fine. It makes it a lot easier to tell the time. Works the same as 3-6-9 numerals.
