Man or woman with a 5” wrist? No problem - will throw on a JC SeaDweller or SkyDweller and never think twice “is it too big / wrong gender?”

People want what they want.
That is the only truth.

Absolutely false. Plenty of Rolex watches are made for a particular gender.

Just because some people make suboptimal choices doesn't mean all Rolex watches are genderless.

If you have to ask then you feel it is. If you even think it is a little bit then someone else does as well.

No, but I wish they made a 36mm or 39mm with better index markers.

I think it’s quite a unisex color. Looks great on both.

Nice unique color, but I don't think I would buy one. I might like it a bit more if it was a darker color.

I don't think it's feminine, but for my taste it's too magenta and not enough true red. I'd love to see it in burgundy or even a cherry red dial.

I'm sure it was expected with this kind of question.
IMO it is a bit too pink, I prefer the blue.

I almost went with the 34mm grape...but went with the Green instead.
Guys don't always have to wear black or white dial watches..
If you like it...be different...and get it!

The RED GRAPE version of the OP36 is pinker than the RED GRAPE version of the OP39.


OP36 RED GRAPE




OP39 RED GRAPE


The version of RED GRAPE 36 is pink and the version RED GRAPE 39 is purple.

I don’t think so. Listen, I see all watches as being for anyone now. I think this will continue as watches tend to me more fashion statement now than function. Though I still use mine as tools for my job, fewer and fewer folks have the need.


I have seen more women wearing my 116520 white dial than men! However I do find it a very specific dial and one that may not work with different clothing. However, this is an easy work around if you have others in the stable.

I get why you'd think it looks feminine. It's not a common dial colour for watches, and its hue is closer to pink.

I'd say it would look more feminine on the OP 36, because the smaller size also enters into account and smaller watches are associated with women's watches.
However, all of that does not make a purple OP 36 a women's watch by default.

The bigger purple OP 39, through its sheer size, would take some feminity away. Even more if the watch is mounted on a leather or NATO strap (don't hate me for this suggestion, I'm sure the contrast would look great !).

Personally, I find the purple dial interesting, precisely because it's uncommon.

In any case, and as other said, it's all about the attitude of the wearer.
Remember : there are men who wear pink shirts

Is the OP RED GRAPE feminine ?

It’s not girly
I’m going to wear my 39mm OP grape with my yellow/pink nike flyknits
