The more people make nasty comments about this watch, the more secure I am in wanting one. I actually got to try on a 41mm version, I’m guessing most of the haters here have never seen one in person.
Rolex has a history of weird unusual dials and historically they become very desirable over time even if they didn’t fly off shelves when new. The Stella dial DayDates from the 70’s-80’s are now the most valuable of that era. The Daytona WG Beach series was kind of a flop when new, I remember them lingering in cases for several years, now hard to find and $$$. The discontinued yellow and coral red recent OPs are still commanding 3-4X MSRP.
It’s okay that everyone doesn’t want the same Rolex, I don’t want most of them honestly but I never denigrate other’s choices.
My red and green OPs have gotten way more comments and compliments than my Daytona and BLRO. Most people just comment how cool it looks and are then surprised it’s a Rolex, kind of an “anti-flex.” YMMV
