Me too. I’m wondering if it’s not the exact case as the DJ41.

Anybody know the lug size on 41mm? 19mm, 20mm, or 21mm like the sub?

Love the addition of the easylink, but the double indicies are a deal breaker for me. I like both versions of the OP39 dial so much better.

Sub is a win though!

Not a fan of the double indices myself. Luckily I wear an Olive OP 34 as my daily so the new silver dial with single gold indices ticks the boxes for me. Really happy that they added the easy link extension for the OP line.

I like the whimsical colors, the new “hip” Rolex. The yellow reminds me of the Tudor Tiger Chrono and Hydronauts I once owned both with yellow dials.

I don't know if I want one but I definitely like it enough to be interested in seeing it

I'm not sure how well it would age though.

RIP 39. To each their own with the dial colors i guess. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I think the new bright colors for the ladies are fine additions but I don't like the double batons, the elimination of the 39mm for the 41mm, and eliminating the white dial and some of the other colored dials. The white dial 39mm was an absolutely perfect watch and now I'm a little disappointed that I never bought one. Why not just add the colors and a size and keep the former colors and size in production?

Definitely youthful and funky. I think it's a smart move overall. Even a stable green for us 30 something's. Not too wild, but not too old Manish haha

I'm thinking the double batons will help with the larger dial. Make it look less sparse. That's my guess as to why but definitely up to personal taste

I was thinking for awhile about a 36mm DJ, but with the addition of the easylink and the upgraded movement I could be tempted by the new OP. Silver and blue dials most likely choices for regular wear, but would like to see the turquoise in person.

41 seems unnecessarily large

Yes, the easylink is the only thing I wish mine had. Don’t care so much about the 3230 movement.

The Tiffany-inspired baby blue dial is beautiful. As well as the red Stella-inspired dial. Both are throwbacks to an earlier age.

Yeah, hope it's closer or similar to the ~39.5 DJ41.

Indeed....i think they will be collectibles for young women who will buy different colors to match their shoes and nail polish etc. The OP39 was a perfect watch for young men who wanted a classic, pure expression of the Rolex form and design with a little playful/hip accent to keep it from being too boring. I bought two last year......a blue one for my son who just graduated dental school and a Rhodium for myself because I thought it looked kind of cool....retro/modern restrained yet fun. The new OP41s with the double sticks markers, huge size and unhinged cartoon color dials have jumped the shark. I think they took the watch down the rabbit hole and into a fashion accessory whim for women. ("Collect them all!") Resale value on those "hot colors" will reflect that IMO....i.e. will be consistent with other women's models which have not retained value well. I think the older OP39s however in discontinued colors like white/Rhodium will be quite valuable.

Thanks Rolex for being more daring. These will be massive hits. Massive. Try getting one of these at your local dealer.

With people posting and sharing in social media it makes sense they Rolex would make dials they popped on a photo. Thats their new audience
