Green OP 41 owners?

Thoughts on the watch after some time? I love the green color and think it would complement my collection well. The complaint about the watch seems to be that it gets “boring” after a while. I can understand how a green watch is not great as a stand alone piece to start a collection, but I’m adding it to other watches in my collection. It seems it doesn’t get as much love as the other OP colors because red green and Tiffany blue got discontinued, but it’s my favorite color regardless.

Green is my favorite color and considered the green OP for a while. Ultimately decided that it was a no for me. Too basic, too bland and too expensive. It’s a not a bad watch, it’s a great watch. But I can’t justify it for my “quirky” piece.

Longines just came out with their legend diver in green, very close to the color of the OP. I’m gonna get that instead.

Edit: Not an owner, but I was close.

Who says it gets boring?
My green OP41 is in regular rotation and is fun to wear. Rolex knocked it out of the park with the colorful OPs and the fact that some folks don’t get it makes me love them even more.
Red and yellow were discontinued in all sizes, turquoise in 41 only. Green is still available.

I don’t think it’s boring at all, but was something I read in a thread somewhere or maybe as a comment to a review on YouTube. I do think it’s fun

If you have other dial colors on your other watches, this OP is a great addition.

Yep. The rest of my collection is black, white, and champagne so I feel like I have room for this!

I have the green op 41 in my collection and it's always a delight to wear this as part of the rotation. I will keep this OP41 which is so easy and fun to wear

I've loved the green OP41 sinceI got it
Prior to that I wasn't so sure it would be for me

Think I thought it might be a little plain but that just feels crazy to type now
Wore it yesterday and it hasn't lost any of it's magic

I also have the red and yellow OP41's and like bold dial colours

The green is my favorite color of the OPs when they were released. Still is today

Have loved my green OP41 since the day I bought it. It is a regularly worn watch for me. Love the dial and the minimalistic style. Top quality Rolex watch.

I’m really enjoying my green OP41, looks great in the sun (not that we get a lot of sun in Scotland).

Love my OP41 Green! I have had it for over a year and like it more than the day I bought it. It works well with my other 2 Rolex, which are both black dials.

It’s a fun watch in a medium sized collection as - although I love green watches - you might eventually get tired of it in a small collection imho

I've had mine since 2021; bought it because I really liked the "Rolex" green. When worn as part of my collection rotation I don't consider it boring, more like basic and simple.

Just picked it up. Really happy with the piece. I was worried I wouldn’t like the domed bezel, but it’s a bit flatter than those on the 36mm datejust, which makes it much better. The dial is so legible in 41. It’s a fun piece, which is something you don’t get to see so much in the Rolex catalog!

I traded my explorer 2 polar 216570 for it straight up. At 1mm smaller, it wears so much better. Much thinner and lightweight. Certainly replaces the pop of the orange gmt hand

I have had the green OP for almost a year and really enjoy it. I would not recommend it as a 1 watch collection, but in a rotation it really works well. It is my go-to watch for work, in rotation with a Speedy.

Love how the dial changes personality in various light sources.

I love mine. Green is my favorite color so it was a no brainer choosing the dial color.

I bought mine in 2022 to commemorate a personal milestone. I haven’t worn it a ton the last year but when i do it brings a smile to my face. Such a nice change a pace from the ceramic bezels that all my other watches have.

A really fun watch. I think the brushed bracelet and squared lugs really set it apart from the colored datejust dials

If you can get your hands on one either thru AD or grey, it's great. Never ever this is gonna be a boring watch.

My green OP 41 is a year old now and I haven’t gotten bored with it. Definitely a great addition to my collection.
