Got the Call
Delighted to pick up my OP 41 from my AD last week, a relatively short 4 month wait and its my first Rolex.
Very happy with the watch and am enjoying wear it. I have other watches in my collection including Omega,IWC and Breitling, but feel now I have got the Rolex bug and as I investigate the range of watches more I am now keen to add further Rolex's to my collection. What to ask for next is my challenge, the ones I like the most are, in no particular order BLNR Pepsi JC Deepsea Explorer 2 polar Root beer In time I can see myself acquiring all of the above ( appreciate that may take some years), but should I adopt a particular approach as to the order that I ask to be on the list for? |

Got the Call
Congrats! Nice 1st choice. I have the same exact one in 36 mm. I would go for the Explorer 2 Polar next. I think it might be the easiest to get, if you are trying to build a relationship with your AD. Mine was also my first Rolex, from an AD, and I’m going for a Datejust next. Good hunting!

Congrats, great watch
 Agree with Kat that the Exp II is the ideal next piece, or the Deepsea 126660 - if what you're thinking is quickest timeline. |

Nice pickup, OP. It's a "do all" watch. You look to have a larger wrist; I'd go for a JC.

Exp2 is what I’d suggest. Congrats on the nice OP.

Explorer II white dial is my favorite modern Rolex. After the LeMans.

Recently saw this watch in-person for the first time. Very nice looking, and that sunburst effect is more pronounced in hand than I expected. The gold accents just make this a super cool OP. Congrats!

Thank you all for your comments and thoughts.
I do indeed have quite large wrists, I plan to try on an Explorer 2 polar and JC - then decide - but am leaning towards polar Explorer |

You made a good choice, congrats!
In your next purchase, you can consider getting Explorer 2 polar or Pepsi as the case maybe. |
