Hey, G.! Great to hear from you, my friend. Those are stellar pics and I'm also of the mind that in light of everything happening this year, we had a good set of novelties from the crown.

Agree. Never in my life would I have ever thought I would be buying an OP. Rolex did something fun and got it right.

Great photos, very lucky to get to see them all in the metal. Expected everyone to be hating on the OP's initially before we come full circle and start loving them. What happened to that trend?

Same here. My SA texted me about it and the more I thought about it the more I wanted it. Smart SA. Good salesman.

Great post and thanks for the pics

I haven't seen any live pics of the full YG versions of the new sub posted which I find a little strange. Were they at the event?

Thank you for reading. Rolex did make changes in many watches, but everyone is focused on: a) SS sub b) WG sub and c) OP

Full gold subs were there as well, with the new case which makes them beautiful IMHO. Also, the roman numeral dials for DayDates (they were discontinued....now back), Jubilee dial for DJ to name a few

Well said OP.

Agree on many points, especially seeing a timepiece in person. The new models, and CHNR for example, are must-see to fully appreciate them.

From photos, I think this is my favourite dial but will need to see these in the flesh to confirm it.
