I love the way my dj36 wears. I’ll be getting a op36. Looks like the same case now with the thinner lugs.

I put in a request for an OP41 in Yellow for me and an OP36 in Tiffany Blue for the wife. No word yet of their arrival or when it may be.

OP41 wear reallly wide... you need a wide/flat wrist. feels/look wider than 40mm sub...
Yeah... I agree... op36 still looks a tad small but still Better than 41 imho.
For 41 (even if only 39.5mm in reality’) you really need wrists bigger than 7inches.
I’m starting to gravitate towards 36mm... every day that passes, losing the love with my dj41 :( I did try the same model in 36 mm and still wasn’t convinced even though it looked better. I think the real winner here is 39mm and we all know what Rolex did to that..,

my local ad has multiple orders for green, yellow, red and Tiffany blue already though each location. Seems like first ones in within a couple of weeks, but I could see them taking a minute if they Lists keep growing. Granted the smaller town AD's I bet could have these sit for a minute so maybe try there if your local is giving you a hard time.

The Rolex boutique where I live told me they won't be able to show me one OP this year, perhaps next year. All expected OPs for 2020 have been allocated to existing clients already and the boutique won't show them to the public. I have no purchase history there.

An AD where I bought just one watch (SD43) told me they'll call me when they get a green one, no E.T.A. though. I'll try more ADs next Monday without purchase history in any of them. I suspect it won't be difficult to find a yellow OP41. Green and blue might be more difficult.

Green and blue. Both sold now but I tried one on and decided to request a pair of blue ones for his and hers.

The slim lug taper, wide brushed bracelet, stout lume, 70 hour reserve, easy link extension, etc make it a great value for a steel Rolex watch. Going up to DJ41 from here just to get a date function and PCLs seems like a stretch.

Went into my AD to buy a Tudor BB 58 blue and also came away with the OP41 in Blue. It is a staggering watch in metal.

I have my name down for a Wimbledon green dial, but I have to say I am very happy with the sunburst blue dial. The OP 41 seems to me to be almost perfect as the only watch I would ever have to own.

The Yellow seems to have really captured a lot of interest if the prices on Chrono24 are anything to go by.

Have your watches arrived yet? I hope the OP41 does not go the way of all professional models, unobtainium...

I was told by my AD that these were "intended" to be available. However, the hype on pretty much anything Rolex stainless steel right now is completely out of control. I got lucky and got a 41mm Yellow a two weeks after it came out, and I sense if I had waited any more I'd not have gotten the allocation.

My advice is be patient. I really like the yellow OP, but I'd never in a million years pay a premium for it (or for any other color). I think you'll be rewarded if you can hold out a few months.

I was in an AD yesterday (London) and the SA told me the most popular models in order was green, yellow then Tiffany blue and that the silver dial would most likely be easier for them to aquire

I was surprised by this as I really thought the blue would have had the higher demand

I was told 3-4 months for a turquoise 41/31 combo.

I am from Saudi. It was expensive to buy a rolex watch in Saudi, now we have 15% tax.
