It's pointless to me as a collection but to each their own.

These are nice watches with cool dials, but at the end of the day they are entry-level OP's. Premiums are nuts on a base model. IMHO. Also, full disclosure I'm not rich, so paying a bunch for these (even if available) is silly to me. Others obviously differ.

…the yellow dial always jumps out at me. at the price point it’s a fun summer reference.

Beautiful, but I wish they didn’t have those double markers at 3,6,9

Great pieces for a change of pace from the usual, for me at least. Has become one of my favorites, just a fun watch.

I agree. The 34mm dial configuration looks so much better than this with the single batons all the way around and then tiny Romans in between the rehaut and the end of the baton, versus those solid little squares Are those little squares also lumed?

Hey there. I actually had the red in my hands and did not like the coral/orangish color of the dial. If it would’ve been actual red, I would’ve kept it. When I got the yellow in my hand, that was an instant yes! Really love the tint/yellow color of this dial.

I still have hopes of acquiring a Coral Red OP41 sometime in the not too distant future. I had one in my hands a month after launch last year but had to pass as I had just made another big purchase that week. My SA says they have become much harder to get since but I’m an optimist. I have only seen it under the bright AD lights, and yes it is a very orangey shade of red, but I like it.

Coincidentally I got a text from my SA today showing me a yellow OP41 that came in today so they are trickling in. He says I will get the next red one.

Kind of like ….“bright blue” , not really bright IMO. Or “white” on the discontinued OP, pretty much eggshell IMO, or that’s a “beautiful’ meteorite dial, well ….I think that meteorite dial is unattractive, or….
Well….you get my point I think. As with most that I’ve encountered, I need to see it in person, see it on my wrist, etc…. before making a judgement, or stating my opinion |

I'm in the boat of I'd love to do this and collect all the colours... don't think it's going to happen though...
I do understand those that think that would be pointless but yes each to their own. There are people that collect each of the milguasses etc, some people are just like that. |

I expected a similar colour to the original orange stella dial. What I really love about these dials is how they completely change depending on the light. The yellow can go from a beautiful vibrant yellow in the sun to a muted yellow and even mustard'ish colour. I agree that you really need to hold these.

Is the green really that dark? Almost looks like black from this photo.... Wish it were a bit brighter.... "Bright blue" is probably my favorite.... but I like them all.
