Does anyone know of a reference with the same dial as the silver OP? I am sure there’s something but can’t recall Rolex ever making this dial color, especially with yellow gold markers.

That will be the day I pay $15K for a OP. I'm glad I bought my 39mm black OP when I did.

From what I've read, Rolex has only used gold in watches that are two-tone in the past. This is the first watch ever to have gold in a steel watch.

Agree, and same here, kicking myself too. And I even tried the white one at an AD, was duly impressed on my wrist, and then I waffled, and now it's history.

So now I wait for the Explorer and as that inevitably gets discontinued (before I get a call) and we get to play this game all over again.

I think its the new entry level / "i have a rolex " watch, never will replace the sub.

Hype is a funny old thing. Back when the original Stella dials came out in the '70's Rolex could hardly give them away, and yet now because they're all shiny and new again, people can't get enough of them. The cynic in me wonders how many people would be clamouring for a bright coral/yellow/turquoise dial watch if that dial didn't have a little Crown on it.

Personally I think the black, blue and silver versions are perfectly fine entry-level pieces, but I can't help wondering if a few buyers of the louder colours may find themselves regretting their choice in a few years once the hype has died down. I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised. JMO of course...

I tried on the silver dial one at a Tourneau. I’m a fan, should have bought it that day.

OP41 is now only available in Silver,Black,Yellow and Green at ADs in my area Other color have been removed from the catalog. OP36 in Pink,Turquoise and Coral Red are still in the catalog.

Breaking Down All Five Sizes Of Rolex Oyster Perpetual

[robsterguy]

Sorry but I just can’t understand the hype with these oyster perpetuals.

[thenewrick]

New movements, new cases, new bracelets, new dials, low price, lots of options, impressive specs, versatile style

[gold&black]

Retail only. I have the Rhodium dial and will probably add the yellow dial at some point.

[Amex4711]

I love my coral red OP.

[Stoffel]

They don’t do anything at all for me and I wouldn’t buy one for myself even with a discount. However I’d like to get my wife the turquoise or pink 36mm but definitely not over list price.

[EEpro]

Had one for a bit. Wife didn't like it on me. My only complaint was no date and at many angles the hands against the light dial are very hard to read.

Edit: and the double batons.

[Malum]

Look like the swatch I bought for my daughter when she was 6 .

[johnorpheus]

Don’t really see how these compare to the Sub. The benefit of the OP has always been the cheaper price tag. Addition dial colors are neat, but design is pretty plain. Sub is next level Rolex.

Daytona fits pretty good I think. This is an SA's I was trying on recently.

[Ny325]

Not fan of the new OP line. I think the size, and with the exception of the black, and blue dial. The colors sorry, are comical. I’ll pass, and definitely would not pay a cent over MSRP.

[Seddyspaghetti]

I want the turquoise one for the hype. But no way over msrp.

[Amex4711]

The red one it’s so

Does the OP 41 have a 21mm width bracelet or 20mm?

[Brew]

I love my 39mm rhodium. These new colors are too "vibrant" for me, but I love that Rolex has taken the quirky little pips on my dial and has maxed them out, so to speak, into real crowd pleasers. Almost like they've taken a lesson from Tudor.

I also love watching sub fan boys get all huffy (and dismissive) when non-"sports" swatches get some (well-deserved) attention.

21mm. They’ve been posted sporting the 62610 jubilee bracelet off the DJ41 and it looks great.

1000% agree with you brother!
