One is discontinued while the other is still being sent to ADs so I would definitely expect this outcome. Plus it’s a super polarizing dial.

Is the yellow dial, which is discontinued, still a watch to get even at over double the original price? The fact that is no longer in production, makes it more difficult to get in the future. But perhaps, it could go the way of the Milgaus, everyone thought that the prices were going to go higher and higher and instead, they are coming down!. Love the yellow version of the OP 41, but darn, having serious thoughts about dropping more than double the cash of its original price; but if not now, when?

So glad I'm a boring guy.

Nothing but white, black, grey or blue dials for me.

Have to agree more like a Swatch type watch than a Rolex but hype sells watches today as many buy the hype to wear it.

Agree! It’s sometimes easier to be drawn to the classics. Having said that, I’m on the list for the Celebration 36, but not really expecting a call, especially after being offered the Wimbledon, as a walk in. I will not pay above retail, especially for an OP, no matter the popularity.

The yellow and coral red dials had one of the shortest runs in modern Rolex, only 18 months. Those colors were discontinued for all sizes. The turquoise dial was discontinued only in 41mm.
They’re not making them anymore so if you want that color it’s likely to always stay high. I have red and green dials and would have wanted yellow but too late to ask for one from AD.

What a tease Rolex ended those dial colors that soon.
I would have like to pick up coral red in for myself.

Really should be like at/around 5k or under for an OP.
So many great watch brands out there that could be had for within 5k.

Can an OP be changed to the yellow or red at service time?

I thought of getting the cheaper silver, black, or blue OP's and swap for a turquoise or green dial. RSC said no, they will only replace to the original color.

Folks, I saw them all next to each other in the grey’s window. Turquoise looks prettiest of all, somehow classy, closely followed by less classy but funkier red, then yellow then green. I would personally choose red because it is cheerful but for the style and formal wear - turquoise.
