Icon17 The perfect dial

The more I look at this dial the more I like it, it goes from a deep green to bright olive and changes its hue whenever the ambient light changes.
To me it is the most perfect dial that Rolex has ever made (and in my line of work I can say I've pretty much seen them all).

The 116519ln is a very beautiful watch indeed, I love the combination of black ceramic, white gold and rubber. The colours/tones are very basic but it is by no means a boring piece

I love the green OP, I only wish they made it in 39mm instead of limiting it to 34mm.

The 34mm Olive Green is what convinced me to actually buy a watch after not wearing one for over 30 years..and a Rolex at that...
And that same dial/size combo has pretty much deterred me from buying a 2nd watch as it is so perfect..

Gorgeous dial, indeed. I'd love to see that in an OP 39 case and Explorer bezel.

I don’t own it, but I agree the olive OP 34 dial is one of the best looking out there. I am very tempted to add one to the connection.

The "sunray" dials as my AD calls them, do this, and it really males a watch dial 'pop'.

If they did a dj41 with that green i would have picked it over blue

Not a fan of the orange on the green OP dial tho
