My first choice would be blue (I previously had the older 3-6-9 version of the blue OP36). It is really versatile and gives you some color without the "hey look at me" vibe of the more unusual colors.

Second choice would be green... because it is just so damn cool.

I think either will age better than the yellows, corals, etc.

Once again my tastes are not quite in-line with the general membership as I'd say any of them except green!

I'd go -

1. Bright Blue or Yellow equally
2. Black
3. Turquoise
4. Red
5. Silver
6. Green

EDIT - Oops, sorry OP, just noticed you've bought the Green one! Nothing personal, just my preference. Wear it in good health!

Thanks men! I bought the green because, in the end, it was the most beautiful for me.
After all, tastes are completely personal ...

Blue first as it's the one i would defo wear the most, then green and then probably coral if i was going for a bit of a "fun" watch.

It all depends on your personal preference but for me its the black dial or blue.

One thing I do find interesting in this thread is how the previously massively over-hyped turquoise dial hasn’t been a runaway winner in the poll. It’s good to see people actually voting for what the LIKE rather than just chasing the hype.

This is my choice, the exact model I have requested from my AD.

Normally I never take a Rolex off the bracelet, but that green strap does look amazing.

Thank you guys! I also usually never take off the bracelet, but for this watch I wanted to make an exception to highlight its colored dial which differs from the other Rolexes with black dials that I own.
And the result is excellent!

I’d go with anything except light blue and pink.

Since you have a lot of Rolex already, I’d get a color you can’t get in any other reference.

I won’t give you my opinion on a color choice, as many folks continue to chime in on your thread not realizing you’ve already bought your watch Congratulations on your new OP!

Congrats! As I mentioned, that would have been my second choice. The strap looks pretty good, and is a nice occasional change, buuuutttttt, put it back on its bracelet!

Thanks so much Kat! I agree, but the leather strap is for the winter season because watches with bracelets ruin the edges of my shirt sleeve.

This is great advice! I think that, in addition to the green one, I will also get the yellow one, which is totally different from the other Rolex references.

No thank you. I'm a monochromatic guy when it comes to watches.

Personally not a fan of a 41mm OP. My preference would be in 36mm. I think it’s the right size for that style watch.

Now which color? I would go with black. The other colors don’t do it for me.
