To do so is to refute 60, 70 years of tried and tested marketing techniques of a multi billion dollar industry.

Bought the OP36 Cand Pink for my wife just before Christmas (borrowed from her on the photo ) and am waiting for my OP36 Turquoise Blue.

When the turquoise came out I went to the AD to put my name down so yes is the short answer

Oh hell yes! From the first second I saw it I was in love. Although I would prefer the 36mm

Well if you don't like the colour, you're probably from the UK. But if you don't like the color, you're likely from North America or someplace else.

I bought it back in November of 2020, so sorta before the hype. I love it, it’s a fun and quirky watch to wear. Couldn’t care less about the secondary value.

Well said. The most honest comment in this thread.

Don't like the pastel colours and also the text looks off to me, I genuinely think it looks fake as the black text is not too good separated from the background on the Tiffany blue etc.

I would always go for the sunburst blue, I also think the silver and black are obvious choices for the classic look. But the sunburst blue looks 'more classy' imo

Actually, much of the "hype" was initially against this version. My reason for liking it was the similarity to sea foam and its coastal vibe. No denying the fact the marketing people landed on something I like.

No. There are not many I would say that about but any of the crazy colors I would probably pass on

No. Also declined here.
Buy a Rolex because you want to wear it. Not because you want to sell it for the next generation

May I politely enquire who the model is? I find the out of focus point more captivating than the in focus subject
