Why is GREEN popular in every Rolex except for the new OP41?

[Frank McKay]

The popularity of green dials have exploded in the Rolex lineup save for the new OP41. Just wondering what others think of the OP green dial? Is it not as vibrant as the green on the Hulk? DD40 olive? or the PM Daytona green dial?

Because the new OP41 green is yuck! At least the other greens are somewhat nice although I dont really like green at all.

I see men wear them but more of a ladies watch these multicolored dials.

Uh no dude. Why would you consider a green op a ladies watch. Not manly enough like a hairy chested brawny submariner..

[Danny83]

I like it

[JodyHighroller]

It is popular

Not as much as the turquoise or coral, but it is definitely sought after.

This.

OP should start thread on why 116500, BLRO, or blue skyD are unpopular next!

[gnuyork]

I do not care for any of the colors of the new OP, not even the black, blue, or silver...but if someone made me choose, green it is (preferably in 36mm).

[TswaneNguni]

Its popular,find one at the AD . Its a beautiful reference .

[BigAppleBill]

The green OP41 is awesome. I hope to get one.

Probably because Rolex has released a trunk load of green themed watches and wants to take the opportunity to showcase these other less used colors.
The tiffany style blue is only seen on platinum, while colors like orange and yellow have been used nowhere, since maybe the 80's.
Green has enough publicity....the orange is my personal favorite, while green is my least only beating out black/wht/blue....not because the green isn't beautiful, it's equally stunning, but because I'd rather enjoy it on another Rolex reference.

Try one if you like it, promise you it will go home with you.

My girlfriend said she liked the the 31op in green the best, so there’s that.

[Alvar*]

I was the first one to be allocateed a new 36 mm green op from my ad and he told
me I was very lucky because there are now many years wait time for this piece and they are not currently taking new people on their wait list.

Personally I thought immediately after the launch in Sept that the green one is the one to buy. I think it is the most versatile
one of the new stella dials. On certain lightconditions it looks very classy and subdued and sometimes it looks really colorful and playful.
Plus I love the feeling that it is the quintessential Rolex in the rolex green. Small but powerful.

I ordered it last year not even notice it's more or less popular than other colors. My AD told green/red/turquise are most popular at the moment and they stopped register for wishing list.

[Benzsiam]

My SA told me that Turquoise, Coral, Yellow and Green are popular for 41 OP.

Simple answer hype afraid today many buy the hype to wear the hype in most all Rolex watches today. And before introduction of these so called new colour OP dials, the OP was quite poor sellers, much like these stella types dials were way back in the 1970s when introduced. But today the hype over the OP with things like calling dials Tiffany blue and the rest of the hype names hype and names sell watches today.

Agreed.

And I can't help feeling that more than a few people (certainly not all, but definitely some) will end up regretting choosing some of the louder colours when the hype dies down. I hope not for their sake, but I just don't think those colours are going to stand the test of time. I think a lot bought just because it's the latest "big thing".

Why would anyone regret it? It looks amazing during the summer on a tanned/darker/... skin.

I'm not saying everyone will, but there are clearly more than a few people IMO who have bought because it says 'Rolex' on it, and it's a "hot" model at the moment. You only have to see the posts where people say, "I've been offered <insert model name here> by my AD. I'm not sure if I like it, but should I buy it?"

The way things are at the moment, Rolex could put a dog biscuit on an elastic band, and provided it said 'Rolex' on it, it'd sell like hot cakes.

Is it a biscuit or cake?

(very UK VAT discussion)

however the green is nice but rather dull and uninspiring. I think they could have gone for something more vivid to match the rest of the collection
Oh and there was a OP41 in green for sale in the Uk last week at £7.5k approx..

[Lightsped]

I like and have been considering either a green or blue OP41. I can't help but wonder how the green OP41 would be if the dial was sunburst.....

[GoingPlaces]

All hype. Blame it on Instagram.

Because it looks like a shinola

[WalterW]

Green op is the best op. Also it is extremely popular. Due diligence Por favor

[ap1]

Well at 10k seems pretty popular

[DC116710LN]

I find the shade of green too light in some conditions, but overall quite nice. I inquired about availability and was told it's difficult to find (although not as difficult as Turquoise and Candy Pink)

[ChrisGio315]

Regardless of color (I'd probably go with the blue over all colors), I'm just not a fan of the double markers on the 3/6/9. FWIW - I was an owner of the 41 Green. Nice watch, just not for me.

[ROBERT1183]

I think the turquoise and coral are more popular in the OP41 but Ive still seen plenty of people posting their green OP41. A nice looking watch but the other Rolex variants in green look alot better to me. I wouldnt turn on down at msrp though.

Who said it is not popular?

[Mystro]

I remember when green was not popular and that was only 4-5 years ago so it’s certainly a color trend. Make sure the color really fits your style and lifestyle as it can grow old very quickly.
