Of course it will. The more people see it the more it sells for. That's the game.

The OP's photo does not do the watch any favors. The other photos I have seen lead me to think this will be very nice in person.

If the yellow and pink OP 36s are hard to get then this will also be in high demand.

I would have much preferred a solid green dial like the old OP34, that would look great. Also, why are they doing this crazy stuff when they havent even remade a white dial 36 with sticks?

It's a bit feminine IMO, but I do like the dial generally speaking.

I like it. For some reason I think it looks best in exactly that variation with the domed/smooth bezel and oyster bracelet. Looks too busy otherwise I think.

I can just imagine Howard Cowsell calling it like he did the great Ali-Frazier fight.

Rolex takes a vicious right to the movement and a left to the dial.
DOWN GOES ROLEX DOWN GOES ROLEX!!

TRF members are stunned!!

In baseball it’s called here comes the pitch(new release) and it’s a..... Swing and a Miss!

The OPs were pretty much embraced here on TRF from day one.

Palm Fronds, not so much.

Not that any of that matters.

Although I laughed so hard at Timeless Watch Channel's "Palm Fronds" bit, I do think it's a fresh looking dial.

it's simply horrific.
It looks so cheap.

It might even sell above MRSP, but it will always look a joke to me.
A bad joke.

Palm fronds!!! On a cheap cruise ship.
