First Rolex my wife had any interest in for herself. When I first showed her she said, “Oh that’s like Tiffany blue”.

OP, that is a great color and frankly I think 36mm fits your wrist better than 41 you showed. But if you prefer the 41, go for it.

The pic you posted is this 36 mm? If so it seems like it fits your wrist quite well. Don’t get sucked into the the number game. As a dude we have some sort of weird notion that anything under 40 mm is a ladies sized watch. This kind of logic is Bull****. The key is the lug to lug length. That said it would seem (from the pic you posted) that this particular watch fits your wrist quite well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I prefer the dark blue dial for a man...the turquoise blue looks feminine to me.
Just my opinion. |

The 36 looks great in your pic! I’d go with that over the 41 for this particular color

Not my shade of blue, but looks good on your wrist. Now, if they made an Alaskan Glacier Blue, then I would be all over it.

It's a turquoise blue, not a "Tiffany" dial.
Tiffany is a registered trade mark of the Tiffany company and unless the dial is produced by that company or with its express authority any reference to it as Tiffany is misleading and deceptive. The use of the "Tiffany" name has no doubt been applied by some sellers (retail & otherwise) seeking to promote its profile by association with the Tiffany company and garner interest which is a luxury and exclusive brand, mostly for women. As the OP is 36mm it will be a size which will attract interest from women who can say to their girlfriends, "Hey look at my new Tiffany Rolex!!". Thus perpetuating the false association and deception.

True Steve - I think the nicknames are getting more confusing than descriptive.
As to the OP’s desire for a label, there’s always this... In a CMYK process 4-color hex code, the blue color of Tiffany’s boxes is #0ABAB5. So I think the nickname should be #0ABAB5. Or just“Babs” for short... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

36 or 41 will both fit you well, but with a dial color that is so eye-catching I'd go with the understated size. 36 would be my pick.

Can't recall if I have posted, but the 36mm looks fantastic on you. I have a 7inch wrist and I wear a vintage 36mm DJ.

I do like the new OP's and will check them out when my AD has some inventory. I wear my Tiffany Doxa some. Funny no one has ever called it that.

36 actually looks perfect on your wrist in my view.

I think the 36 looks very nice. But if you want 41 don’t compromise.

Still no update from my local AD but they call me if I want a wimbledon DJ with smooth bezel on oyster bracelet. I just politely said no.

What I find most fascinating about the naming convention that’s being used (by some), is that Rolex themselves must have considered or even discussed at length this colours similarity to Tiffany & Co’s Turquoise-blue-green, and the potential for the (nic)naming to cross over for this particular OP colour.
Do you think it was intentional, knowing how popular Tiffany’s colouring is and how easily recognisable it is? Or, maybe it was purely a coincidence. Curious to know if these factors are played upon to generate interest or, if Rolex understand the psychology of their customer so well that the can steer us towards this (I’m sure they can)? The fact that we are debating it means it has worked regardless of whether we like it or not. Evil geniuses aren’t they ;) |

OP Blue (NOT Tiffany) Dial
Quote:
Excellent analysis. I don't believe in coincidences like that. More likely, this dial color was carefully chosen with Tiffany & Co. in mind. "Evil genuises" I would not say. |

Staring to really love that dial color... saw it on a jubilee yesterday on Instagram, look awesome!!
Has anyone ever asked AD to switch bracelet on a purchase!?? Or is the only option to buy a jubilee bracelet separately? |

OP Blue (NOT Tiffany) Dial

I was offered the watch in 36 with the green dial. It was beautiful, but too small for even my 6.75 inch wrist. I decided to wait for the size I’d enjoy more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
