First Rolex - OP 41 Green

Hi everyone,
I have had a Panerai Radiomir 183 since 2003; it was my first real watch purchase. When the coloured OP was released I went to my dealer to register my interest. Just had the 183 serviced and polished and was deciding to wear it or not (I was planning on selling it if I could get an OP and I wanted it to be perfect for sale). Called my salesperson yesterday and let him know that I was still interested in the Rolex. Couldn't believe that he called me today saying he had a green one, which was my number one choice! Anyways, look forward to learning more from people here.

Congratulations! The green dial is something special indeed, it changes hue with different light conditions, this gives a unique wearing experience.

Do share pictures with us!

Congrats! That's a great first Rolex. The OP was my first as well, the white dial a few years ago.

Good luck with your new addiction

Bought a green OP41 in 2021. Love this watch. One of my most warn watches (wearing it today as a matter of fact). Love the green dial color and how it changes color based on light. Superb watch!

Wow! I didn't expect so many responses. Thank you all. Will post a photo when I get back from my work trip but for now I"ll post a pic of me trying it on two and a half years ago for the first time. When I expressed my interest the watch had just been released and I hadn't even seen it then.
