The popularity of green dials have exploded in the Rolex lineup save for the new OP41. Just wondering what others think of the OP green dial? Is it not as vibrant as the green on the Hulk? DD40 olive? or the PM Daytona green dial?

peterpl · 2 August 2021, 01:22 PM

Because the new OP41 green is yuck! At least the other greens are somewhat nice although I dont really like green at all.

Danny83 · 2 August 2021, 01:25 PM

I like it

JodyHighroller · 2 August 2021, 01:30 PM

It is popular

Not as much as the turquoise or coral, but it is definitely sought after.

gnuyork · 2 August 2021, 01:40 PM

I do not care for any of the colors of the new OP, not even the black, blue, or silver...but if someone made me choose, green it is (preferably in 36mm).

This.

OP should start thread on why 116500, BLRO, or blue skyD are unpopular next!

BigAppleBill · 2 August 2021, 01:43 PM

The green OP41 is awesome. I hope to get one.

TswaneNguni · 2 August 2021, 01:43 PM

Its popular,find one at the AD .

Its a beautiful reference .

Rashid.bk · 2 August 2021, 02:18 PM

Probably because Rolex has released a trunk load of green themed watches and wants to take the opportunity to showcase these other less used colors.
The tiffany style blue is only seen on platinum, while colors like orange and yellow have been used nowhere, since maybe the 80's.
Green has enough publicity....the orange is my personal favorite, while green is my least only beating out black/wht/blue....not because the green isn't beautiful, it's equally stunning, but because I'd rather enjoy it on another Rolex reference.

Try one if you like it, promise you it will go home with you.

Doood · 2 August 2021, 02:56 PM

My girlfriend said she liked the the 31op in green the best, so there’s that.

Alvar* · 2 August 2021, 04:27 PM

I was the first one to be allocateed a new 36 mm green op from my ad and he told
me I was very lucky because there are now many years wait time for this piece and they are not currently taking new people on their wait list.

Personally I thought immediately after the launch in Sept that the green one is the one to buy. I think it is the most versatile
one of the new stella dials. On certain lightconditions it looks very classy and subdued and sometimes it looks really colorful and playful.
Plus I love the feeling that it is the quintessential Rolex in the rolex green. Small but powerful.

mattidk · 2 August 2021, 07:34 PM

I ordered it last year not even notice it's more or less popular than other colors. My AD told green/red/turquise are most popular at the moment and they stopped register for wishing list.

Benzsiam · 2 August 2021, 07:41 PM

My SA told me that Turquoise, Coral, Yellow and Green are popular for 41 OP.

Simple answer hype afraid today many buy the hype to wear the hype in most all Rolex watches today. And before introduction of these so called new colour OP dials, the OP was quite poor sellers, much like these stella types dials were way back in the 1970s when introduced. But today the hype over the OP with things like calling dials Tiffany blue and the rest of the hype names hype and names sell watches today.

Agreed.

And I can't help feeling that more than a few people (certainly not all, but definitely some) will end up regretting choosing some of the louder colours when the hype dies down. I hope not for their sake, but I just don't think those colours are going to stand the test of time. I think a lot bought just because it's the latest "big thing".

Lightsped · 2 August 2021, 10:15 PM

I like and have been considering either a green or blue OP41. I can't help but wonder how the green OP41 would be if the dial was sunburst.....

GoingPlaces · 2 August 2021, 10:30 PM

All hype. Blame it on Instagram.

Because it looks like a shinola

WalterW · 2 August 2021, 10:40 PM

Green op is the best op. Also it is extremely popular. Due diligence Por favor

ap1 · 2 August 2021, 10:50 PM

Well at 10k seems pretty popular

DC116710LN · 2 August 2021, 11:03 PM

I find the shade of green too light in some conditions, but overall quite nice. I inquired about availability and was told it's difficult to find (although not as difficult as Turquoise and Candy Pink)

ChrisGio315 · 2 August 2021, 11:07 PM

Regardless of color (I'd probably go with the blue over all colors), I'm just not a fan of the double markers on the 3/6/9. FWIW - I was an owner of the 41 Green. Nice watch, just not for me.

ROBERT1183 · 2 August 2021, 11:21 PM

I think the turquoise and coral are more popular in the OP41 but Ive still seen plenty of people posting their green OP41. A nice looking watch but the other Rolex variants in green look alot better to me. I wouldnt turn on down at msrp though.

Who said it is not popular?

Mystro · 3 August 2021, 12:10 AM

I remember when green was not popular and that was only 4-5 years ago so it’s certainly a color trend. Make sure the color really fits your style and lifestyle as it can grow old very quickly.

carwashchris · 3 August 2021, 12:55 AM

Oh I think the green is awesome. Color wise I like the yellow then the red then the green then the Tiffany blue. They are all very very hard to find

Why would anyone regret it? It looks amazing during the summer on a tanned/darker/... skin.

Everything that bears the name is hard to find… a Rolex branded turd would sell fast and require a wait list…

That being said, I have yet to see it in person but the silver and green are probably the only OPs I would go for.

I see men wear them but more of a ladies watch these multicolored dials.

I’m quite fond of my green OP41.
