I liked it more than I expected
So I tried the OP 41 in silver dial for the first time (I wasnt really thinking about it but thought why not as it was there in exhibition pieces) and I was surpised how much I liked it.

I had previously tried Op 41 in green which I also quite liked but I think i liked the silver one more than that. Just thought I share my expereince that always try the watches you may like something more than you expect.

And another very nice expereience with the AD. Very friendly and good conversation.

That is a great watch. I have a thing with green. Not sure if it's cause of my Philadelphia Eagles or something else but I have had a thing for green from the beginning. When the new OP line was introduced I immediately put my interest in for the green. I chose the silver as second because of the gold hands. A few months ago when my dealer called me and said he had my watch I asked which color and honestly I was thinking that the silver would suit me better. I got the green and love it; but the silver is probably the better chose. And those gold accents....

Did they give you an ETA on when the OP41 Silver might be available?

Silver dial is awesome. I have it on a DD40 and absolutely love it. It certainly doesn’t photograph as good as it looks IRL. Crazy reflections in different lighting too.

It was my favorite from the get, but in 36. I highly recommend it!

It's just classic. The lure for the flashy colours wears off.

As it did, for me. In the past. I used to have the red grape, but grew tired of the color. This is much more elegant.

An Oyster Perpetual is the Primus Numerus of the Rolex family.

It is balanced without a date function. My wife preferred it over the DJ.

Very nice OP Kat.

The symmetry of the dial is perfect.

For me, the silver dial is the one to get for the OP line!

Looks stunning. I think this is now my favourite OP (i never got the chance to see celebration dial in person so cant say about that but it is a different beast all together).

Btw Kat, are the hour markers silver? on the 41 they felt like gold accents.

That's impossible to dislike.

Your point is well made, always try something on first if you possibly can. It works both ways.

They are gold, as are the hands and coronet. It’s what makes it so stunning, and why it stands out from the crowd. When Rolex advertised the new line up, the silver dial was most prominently featured in the ads.
