Don’t lose your hope. It’s a fabulous watch on the wrist. Worth every hour of waiting.

Looks great even thought my wife thought it looked silly I tried to explain its special as Rolex doesn't generally do 'fun' for long!

Its different but not my cup of tea in watch dials and would not buy one at any price.

I’m so 50/50 on this watch either looking like a circus on my wrist, or super cool. As my wife has the Tiffany OP36 and wants me to ‘match’

I love the dial, but haven't tried one on yet. My wife was sure she wanted one, but tried on the 31mm (same size as her DJ) in Guadalajara, Mexico and found it wasn't for her.

The regular Tiffany and candy pink are to die for. My wife has both now. I think they’ll be classics in the future too.

A fun watch but poor legibility. I need a watch that tells the time at a glance, so not for me. That's why I'll never own a Daytona either.

Indeed... I'd love to stick your comment on post-it notes and slap them on the desk of every luxury watch designer in the world.

The primary purpose of a watch is to tell the user the time (and a fine watch should do that to a very high degree of accuracy).

Excessive complications, skeleton dials, etc are simply showing off on the part of the maker and detract from the sole purpose of the watch.

See also: Excessively shiny dials that can only be read in at dusk or in a dimly lit room.

I think your missing the point of this piece. It's MEANT to be FUN..Rolex doesn't do fun..this won't be around forever.

The hands do get lost in the bubbles on the bottom half of the dial, but hey it’s only illegible for half the time!

Would buy one of these in a heartbeat, but not even trying since I figure it's a futile effort. Love the quirkiness and colors on this watch. I definitely get it's not for everyone but I dig it.

Anything “exhibition only” is not unusual. I’ve been both white and black SS Daytonas in ship windows but exhibition only.

Sorry but this watch isn't for me, it brings absolutely nothing to the table that appeals to me, I would put this at the bottom of the watches I dislike pile - below even the over-hyped Daytona.

But other people may like it and that's fine, we can all be different in what appeals and what does not.
