I'm not a fan. I don't like whimsical typically.

It's nice to see Rolex put out some variety, though.

Don't hate it but most certainly would not buy one at any price or even if buy one get one free.

Don't hate it, but it's not for me like a lot of other models.

I think it looks ridiculous & it takes away from the class that is Rolex.

It seems cynical and ironically joyless given its grasping attempt at whimsey.

I need a third option :)
I don’t have adverse positive nor negative reaction to it. It’s certainly a very different dial to what I would expect from the brand. That said it’s not a reference I’d chase but that is true of many references on the catalog.

I feel the same way as you do. I don't love this design by any means, but it grew on me since it's release, and I wouldn't turn one down at retail.

If offered, I’d buy it and wear it. However, I wouldn’t pay more than retail.

I love it and precisely because it’s kind of the anti-Rolex Rolex. For those of us oldtimers to the brand it’s not their first rodeo, the Stella colored Daydates and Beach Daytonas had similar vibes.
The last two Rolex I have acquired are coral red and green dial OP41’s. I have received more comments on them than any other Rolex I have ever owned and the compliments are almost always “cool watch!” Very few of the people know it’s a Rolex, they just like the vibe.
I am patiently waiting and hoping my SA can get one for me in 41, life needs a little more whimsy.

Neither love nor hate, but it’s nice IMHO seeing Rolex doing something unusual.

It's a mystery to me how a simple watch could engender hate; I like the watch as it's kittenish and lends some color to the world.

The responses seems weird...
Why hate a watch?
It's not to my taste, or/ and I'm indifferent to the model would have been better answers.

It makes sense I think that people hate it.

If you’re one of the “serious tool watch” club, this is not serious; it has terrible availability, it’s basically everything they hate about modern Rolex.

I like it because I collected what I want from the standard stable a long time ago and I’m looking for wild and crazy stuff from them.

Don't care about it enough to 'hate' it, but would not purchase one for my personal collection or use.

It's not the dial for your only Rolex purchase but it's DEFINITELY cool and I wouldn't mind having one in my collection.

I just picked one up two days back 41mm from A.D.It is different from the usual conservative approach from Rolex.No harm in having one in the collection.

I’m team ‘Love’ … it’s a bit of fun, bit if colour, and very different to run of the mill watches Rolex normally churn out … there’s enough subtle watches, but this is pure fun ..

Love it. Love the originality of it and the fact it’s not another typical Rolex. Tired of same ol same ol and nice to see something shake things up a bit. Everything doesn’t have to be so serious. I like fun, and this watch is fun.
