The watch is a good fit. It is a casual non-sports watch with a colorful dial. I adds diversity of function to your collection while being consistent with your theme of collecting a variety of dial colors.

It seems out of place in your collection, and you think the same else you wouldn't have asked for opinions.

Everything you have is a hot sports or a functional bezel. Grape isn't that special a color and I don't see it being one later too. I would gift it away or sell.

I love simplicity and have the watch just do what it's for so for me the OP is the keeper.
Less is more.

You answered your question then, keep it as none of your other watches have a nice vibrant coloured dial like that.

If market price is higher than retail, flip for profit. If not, keep it as the more the merrier.

The only question you should be asking is to yourself. "Do I like it; do I wear it?" That is all that need be answered!!

I don't think we have to be in love with every watch in our collection. Some watches are fun, funky or just different. I think you should keep it, wear it when you want and just roll on. You have a great collection.

In response to the thread, it is your collection and this consists of watches that are important to you.

I have a 14010 Air King and many people have a similar question/comments about my AK. It was my first Rolex and I enjoy having it in my collection, even if it doesn’t get worn by me much. I have a little more sentimentality with that watch over the 2nd and 3rd Rolex purchase (which I have since moved on from so I could get to my 4th and 5th over the years) almost 20 years ago.

I can see what they mean though because if I had your collection, the OP would not get much wrist time.

If you like it and wear it then it should stay.

KeithP · 6 June 2021, 10:36 PM

Do you like it or not? Simple.
Aside from that- everything else you have is overtly sporty, with numbered bezels. So yes- it not only has a place, it seems necessary (as far as these things go)
Super collection btw!

PS that’s my favorite OP of all.

I would sell one of the Sub references before I sold the OP39.

brandrea · 6 June 2021, 10:48 PM

Colorful, simple, time only watch ... yes

RLEX · 7 June 2021, 12:27 AM

don't always need a bezel with numbers on it

904VT · 7 June 2021, 12:52 AM

I've always liked these and the sunburst dial is pretty unique.

Fair point. Although the overall look/style of DD may be reminiscent of the OP/DJ, they are very different pieces to a Rolex collector.
