I want the dial colour more than the watch model, so no DJ this time then; just a yellow dial OP41 - or OP36. The turquoise is cool too.

Not my cup of tea, but 15-20 yrs from now these will be collectibles.

Now THAT green has sparked my interest. That looks nothing like the renderings which I hated.

I have always been a fan of the brushed steel bracelets, and now has Easylink as well. I think this will be a compelling line up for many buyers.

I'm hoping that 41 is just the name and like the Datejust 41, it's actually 39.5 mm across when measuring with calipers.

If so, I will be happy to buy the new model over the 114300. The easylink is a big plus.

Not crazy about the upsize. But the proportions are still very nice.

The actual lug to lug will be more interesting. Hopefully, it'll stay in the ~48ish region.

I really like the green. Have long held a desire for a green dial as a nod to the Irish half of my roots.

Was on the list for Submariner LV just for the green dial really, and let my AD know today I don't currently want another black dial professional model, so wouldn't carry my interest and list position to the new green bezel, black dial combo. May regret that down the line I guess once I see the new one.

But was delighted to tell them I'd very much like the green dial OP 41 when they can get one for me, which they replied instantly to say should be pretty attainable for me in time for my birthday in 2 months, probably sooner if I want it, but prefer to hold on for the birthday feel good.

Also like the turquoise and silver, but the turquoise maybe too close to my Milgauss Z. Blue and need to scratch the green itch before a silver dial.

The blue could be my next watch.

Wondering if it's really 41 or is it like the DJ41 and actually about 39mm.

Entry level hell! I'd wear this over anything else I have or have had, over the years. Cocked my head at the double bars at 3-6-9 at first, but went away after a nanosecond. Loved it at first sight. I will be getting this one for sure, as soon as I can.
I just don't understand this entry level BS. If you can afford £4k to buy a watch, it's a fair assumption £6k is attainable. They look awesome and i believe they will appeal to a wider demographic

None of those watches appeal to me at all. The black, blue, silver are nice but I think I'd go for a Datejust instead if I was going with those colors. I liked the accents on the Rhodium and Blue OP39 and bought both those last year and have no regrets! Nothing in the OP41 makes me want to trade in or add to my collection.

Totally agree... I laughed when I heard people say Rolex went the invicta way, but on second thoughts I can understand why people say that. Those colours are very flashy and I believe not in the way a Rolex should look.. if they bring a new population to the brand, why not...
it might distance me from the brand thoug.. I think I have what I need in the current and old collection... grail piece is dd36 in gold but that’s for later... if they don’t put a pink dial on that one, that is...

Was hoping for an orange sub but will try one of these on to see how it looks on the wrist. Fun type of watch is what I think Rolex had in mind with these. If readily available its compelling but no way worth going on any type list real or imaginary. This an entry level fun watch which should be a walk in try on and purchase on the spot type of deal.
