Praise my AD!!

Praise my AD!!! She first got me the turquoise AKA the tiffany blue dial earlier this year, but 2 weeks ago, she reached out to me and told me that she also got the coral red OP in.. only problem is, that I had to wait few weeks to purchase because Rolex told them that they cannot sell it immediately. Anyways, after a long 2 weeks that felt like 2 years, I was finally able to get the Coral Red OP as well.

Its crazy how the watch game changed so much from just 5-6 years ago when Hulks used to be on the shelves at AD's, at least in my area.

Still waiting on the GMT RB TT and the RG DD Olive Green dial, which I know it's a long shot but hey, who thought I'd be able to get these two watches in the same year?

Feeling supper happy! Happy Weekend to everyone! :)

You lucky dog. Congratulations! What size are they? I’m guessing they are the same, but the Tiffany appears larger.

The coral is amazing, one day…one day.

Let’s see some wrist shots when you get a minute!

Am I crazy for looking for a trade for the Coral Red one for the Yellow one? I'd love to do a straight up trade with a yellow dial... just my personal preference. But one thing I can say confidently is that the Coral Red does look way better in person that in photos when the sun reflects the dial. Anyways, I am one lucky bastard!

Actually, OP, Most of definitely ARE praising your AD! That kind of service to a fellow collector is a good omen for all of us...

Congratulations again - they’re both beautiful pieces!!

One lucky bastard? You rather have yellow. Sounds like you didn’t get what you wanted.

Coral Red and Yellow are very popular.

For my personal taste, I preferred: Turquoise, Yellow, Green, Red and ......

I already got Turquoise, I might want to get Yellow later.

Congrats!

Congrats but no praise to your AD. Your number came up that’s all. They did you no special favors, and you spent a good deal of money and made them a handsome profit. Simply a transaction. It’s all business when they don’t give us what we want and a “special relationship” when we get what we want lol.

Congratulations on those two! Really like the OP line! My OP41 has become one of my favorites.
I did exactly what you were asking about when I had the opportunity to buy the coral dial. Had it in my hand and traded it back for the yellow. No regrets whatsoever! Love the yellow! It’s just personal preference, as both look great, I just thought/hoped the “red” was just that….red. When I saw the color in person, I just didn’t like the coral color. If it would’ve been a true red, I would’ve kept it and added the yellow.

LOL plus 1.
If you're happy OP more power to you and congrats - personally I can't get onboard with this look... If it wasn't for the current Rolex craze I'd be hard pressed to think anybody would pick these up for even $1k...
