Interesting perspective, polar opposites and yet here we are thanks to social media.

I can't even get a Timex Waterbury in this shade of blue because of this nonsense.

Stuuuuupid… it’s beyond insanity.

agreed...if you don't care about the hype you can get a very nice watch in the OP 41 dark blue

[indianmachine]

seems more like NC Tarheels blue. Maybe if people call it the Air Jordan OP price will be $50k. who knows in this market?

Anyway, looks nice but not $35k nice.

[TIII]

It has shock value at 35k, just like Howard Stern on morning radio….gets people talking. One of the big grey does the same thing. And it works! It will be interesting to see how long it takes for it to be sold.

Very curious to see what the spread on this is. Meaning what will a grey market dealer buy these for.

It’s actually very nice too I have it as well as the turquoise and alternate.

This is the real matrix.

People are after the hype not the color.

He is OPs were a hit right out of the gate. Instagram or other social media with Garner attention. It gained attention from the beginning

Price aside the turquoise is really nice. The yellow one is too in a happy fun way and the dark blue is a nice classic colour. The rest I don’t personally like so much

Have to agree many of todays younger age whose sole information cupboard is in so called social media, Youtube etc .And many buy whatever social media dictates as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then they post and brag they have the latest in high demand thing, as so called social media have taken over there lives and the use of there brain power but hype sells watches to wear the hype.

[Madman37]

Are these really going for £24k in chrono that’s what they are priced nearly as much as Daytona

[AK797]

If the Greys can make the name Tiffany stick with this dial, and I suspect they will, then this will trade at quite the premium for some time.

You are so right. Social media has created a fake universe that has taken over so many young peoples minds.

[jaykim77]

It’s all about perspective…. For crazy riches, 30k is just a pocket change. So if they like it, they will get it for fun! The more expensive it is, the better for them. Watch hobby itself isn’t logical from the start, and who’s to blame this madness? Buying it as an investment for avg joe, it will bring quite an adrenaline rush like bitcoin. Only problem for owners of that watch is that you better watch out when you walk down the street or ride bus to work. Now it’s more than your car on your wrist…. LOL

[offrdmania]

I have one right now that im going to list at $125,000. Doesnt mean ill get it and it doesnt mean thats what its worth. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
Im still waiting for someone to show me one that has actually sold at that ridiculous price.

David has a turquoise Daytona on WG listed at 258K, hope he gets it -

Glanced at thread title. Got excited. Reread it. Excitement dissipated. I had thought it said: “New 35mm OP” instead :(.

Sent in a picture of mine to a trusted grey to test this for you. Was offered $25k US. Excellent Condition Sept’20 purchase.

No, I’m not selling.

I hope you are correct. I went to buy the 16618 I have wanted and realized prices tripled in 2 years. I took a little hiatus from the forum and hobby. Completely shut out from the market happenings. Came close to a heart attack when 17k became 35k over night.

Saw that. It’s unique and the color is very polarizing to the point you either love it enough to pay up or detest it enough you wouldn’t wear it if it were free. It keeps the watch world very interesting. Way too many haters on prices and what people do with THEIR own money.

[RollinMoses]

It’s seems like I am in the minority here in that I actually really like the turquoise and if they were available at retail I would definitely get a 36 (I asked the AD at launch and multiple times thereafter, but no chance without massively overpaying).

But it is just a fun watch with a splash of colour.

I cannot for the life of me understand though why anyone would pay anything close to 35k for it.

[Shamus]

I always love listening to all the hostility from the crowd every time a watch goes up in price. It's a free market. Supply meets demand. Quit getting mad and bashing the brand you all profess to love. Quit bashing the people that choose to purchase the watches from said brand that they obviously love if they're willing to pay $30,000 for one of the brand's watches. The value of a watch is in the eye of the beholder. Who gives a sh*t about whether this watch is high horology or not. Most Rolex watches aren't high horology, regardless of the model or price.

The OP 41 Turquoise is a beautiful watch. The color is a beautiful color. The dial works perfectly with its indices and it has a great clean look to it. Just because it's not more difficult/costly to purchase one doesn't mean you should sit around bashing people want to spend their own hard-earned money on whatever they want to.

[franklee168]

If you're not interested in the watch, you have nothing to worry about. I'll only be worried if my wife wants one.
