That tomato colored one is horrendous! Not sure what we’re they thinking!

Truly fantastic. To me the OP's stole the show indeed, although I'm a big fan of the redesigned lugs of the Sub and I'm very tempted by a new Bluesy. I don't care much for the black dial Subs, I have too many black divers already.

Not a big OP guy. But I have to admit this new 41mm and colorways may change that!

I like the green. The rest are honestly pretty awful looking. And I think the new sub looks great.

I think they are too big. Otherwise, I am sort of aware of the generational gap these produce. Also, I think you have to buy all of them at once, and have the complete set, or it makes no sense.

I actually really like them. They’re growing on me. I like the double markers at 3, 6, and 9. Gives ya more lume too. I can see myself picking up the silver dial with gold indices. Very nice.

That’s my plan exactly. Makes sense as a full set...cheaper than single PM piece

I guess if you are looking for a little less flashy watch it woudl work.

Only that silver dial get the gold hands and index lining treatment and it does look fantastic.

Please don't let my wife see that "Tiffany Blue/Turquoise" dial, I'm sure she gonna fall in love at first sight.

The silver/champagne dial looks similar to the sundust dial.

I have to see it in real life first but I have a feeling I will like the green.

Between the 41:

1) Green Dial
2) Yellow Dial
3) Coral Red Dial
4) Turquoise Blue Dial
(Tiffany, for a male tho)
5) Bright Blue Dial (We know how popular that dial is on the Sky Dweller, from pictures, they look the most similar too, more so than the Day Date or the Yacht Master 1 Blue)

1 to 5... in everyone's opinion... which one will be the most collectible? 15-20 yrs from now or even longer.

I only chose the colors that come in 41, as I wish to enjoy wearing them along the way.

Thoughts?

For me:

1) Green (I see it as the iconic Rolex color)
2) Bright Blue (I have been on the waitling for a Blue Sky Dweller forever, so might as well, settle for a Black Sky Dweller or 'maybe' White
3) Turquoise Blue (Fun summer, I unfortunately have my doubts as a male)
4) Yellow (Long term collectible imo)
5) Red (Long term collectible as well imho)

A full set in 20-30 years might be worth a bit more but I doubt you'll make much money on an OP

I was very pumped for the green and tiffany dial variants, but honestly, I must say that these look horrendous in the presented pictures. The tiffany just reminds me of a Timex Indiglo or something, cant' shake that vibe off.

My disappointment is immeasurable.

Silver sunburst dial with yellow gold stick markers looks great!

This combo should be on more Rolex references.

That's because the white balance in the photo is wrong...and makes every interpretation of the colour rendition useless.

Having seen the green dial myself in person I'd say the "JonOnTime" image looks closer than the ablogtowatch pictures.

The dials are very bright in person and to be honest if the green one looked like the ablogtowatch picture does then I would have bought it immediately.

These are going to sell like warm bakery products

They've done brightly coloured dials in the past, but I reckon someone at Rolex is a GS or Gronefeld fan...

Looking at the pics on the first page - I am starting to warm to them. Especially the light blue. Just why oh why did they discontinue the white colour - it was the best I felt.

Colors are great.

But I’m still... man, I cannot believe they killed the perfect (imho) 39mm size. Especially the white dial after only being around for such a short time.

Nancy Kerrigan “WHHHYYYY!?” level of shock.
