She couldnt decide which colour she preferred out of Pink, Red, Turquoise and Yellow.

So we decided to see which came in first ND snap it up if we liked it..... Which she did.

It's very much a more mustard shade of yellow. A real retro colour.

Love it!

There does seem to be a lot of interest for the new OP 36 and 41.

AD mentioned that they are now getting nearly as many enquiries for the new Stella colour OPs as they are for the Sub.

I posted up the pic with our other watches just to give an idea of dimensions and colour - no filters used. My DJ in the pic is a DJ41 and her YM is a 35mm.

I think the pic next to the YM is interesting. Much more legible dial and a much bigger face despite being only 1mm bigger. So despite being a bright yellow dial, it still makes it easier as a daily.

Congratulations to the Mrs. It was a tough call between yellow and red. Went with red because it had more pop. May get yellow down the road as well

Or you can change the dial when it goes in for service.

Which makes the choice of colour less critical, as it can always be switched later.

My wife was similar. She said I am a professional I can't wear those to work. I was like you're nuts I am getting the turquoise

Looks great on your wife OP. I nearly ordered the mustard for myself. Still might!
