Actually looks nice in real life

Been in NYC this weekend and dropped into WOS in Hudson yards… and they had this OP, actually looks better in real life !

Art is definitely subjective to each person. My wife had the opportunity to purchase one and it was an instant pass.

Very sharp looking dial. Most of watches looks better in person than on photos

I agree with you, it is very legible given the dial and looks great in person.

I saw one IRL a few weeks ago, and I have to say I disliked it just as much in person as I do in pictures.

Each to their own of course, but you couldn't pay me to wear it.

Collectible gimmick. I can see it as the oddity in part of a wider collection.

I want one and for the first time in like ever, I was told I’d have to wait a while. My SA says allocation for the rest of this year is slim and there’s lots of clients more important than me. I have hope I will get one in 2024.
For the people who don’t like it, that’s your right. As a active retired long time Rolex wearer I am finding the brightly colored OPs to be great fun. Rolex occasionally comes out with something really out of character for them, think Stella DayDates, Beach Daytonas. They may or not be successful at launch but years later people will be saying they wished they had bought one when you could.

Also not for me, but the great thing is there is a wrist for every watch.

Definitely, but I wouldn't put any modern Rolex in this category. Today's hype puts every Rolex under a microscope. Part of the reason those beach Daytonas weren't successful is because Rolex hype didn't exist then. Few were actually collecting Rolex at the time.

10, 20 years from now, I'd wager we'll find hundreds (if not thousands) of these in completely mint condition, socked away in safes.

They really are great in real life; I really like mine but I like quirky things. Here’s mine waiting to go overseas.
I also like the day date jigsaw in white gold.

No “exhibition only” ……. I personally like bright colours on my watches !!! If the OP with the orange dial wasn’t silky money I have that !!!

Wow we have some big hitters here.. Fair play. Personally it's not for me although I love the OP41's in general this looks too messy .

Either way hearty congratulations to those who do and those who get.

It's a beautiful time piece but looks more like a ladies watch because of the multiple dial color, I'd pass.

It’s a yes for me.
Not for everyone or everyday.
Already a sea of everyone, everyday watches.
