I think it’s very nice in person…not so photogenic.

Not for me, I'm not a fan of the design and my old eyes would never be able to read the time.

It is fun tho and if someone likes it then who am I to disagree. I love my Yellow dial OP 126000 (Fun, sporty and super legible)

I like it and say go for it to those who want it, I just think the plain turquoise dial will fit me better for the long term so I am after that one

I don’t hate it, just don’t care for it. I think it looks like a Swatch and cheapens the brand.

I agree, the Tiffany Blue/Turquoise dial is a classic.

I hate it as a Rolex, but I would not hate it as a Timex (if that makes sense). I tend to think of Rolex as a stodgy, predictable brand, and I prefer it that way.

No, that doesn’t make sense. Rolex can and did produce a light hearted, not stuffy, fun watch. I love it, and would accept one in 36, at MSRP, if offered by my AD. I imagine I’d wear it often, too.

I respect the dial and the creativity. Wouldn’t want to own it

I like what I like and what I don't like isn't important to me, including the Rolex watch in question. Hating doesn't come into it. Hate is such a corrosive state of mind.

Couldn’t pull it off but think it’s cool because it is so different and fun.

Hate is such a strong word for a watch!

I think I bit of whimsical in a sea of black dial watches is refreshing.
I don’t own one, but I would wear it if I got an allocation.

Love it. Don’t currently own one and have other watches higher on the priority list, but would absolutely consider getting one.

Don't love it, don't hate it - just indifferent to it.

I like it quite a bit. Brings some nice color and a sort of vintage artsy fun to it all.

Love it, something different and fun in the catalog. Very low production and likely discontinuation over the next few years adds to the uniqueness.

I like it for the simple fact that it is fun. There’s not enough fun sometimes.

I voted love. But, actually, it’s more accurate to say that I like it. Took me 1-2 days after the release to move to liking it…

P.S. But don’t get me started on the “puzzle dial”. And I was lukewarm on the Le Mans (but think I like it overall…). So maybe that’s why I’ll never be a good “investor” in watches.

Can’t wit until I can add the Celebration to the collection. Simple watch case with a fun dial that is outside the box. Plenty of standard more direct watches. Super fun!

I would 100% get it for my wife if offered. I love the playfulness of the dial.

I don’t love it or hate it as I haven’t seen one in the flesh so I can’t vote on this poll.

But I think it looks excellent on the wrist shot.

I wonder how many in the hate camp have tried one on.
