When you get one and fall in love with another!

Got the OP41 in green, saw the blue YM40 and fell in love. The YM is very light, the blue dial is amazing. Was told that it is not difficult to get, hope to have within 6 months.
Interestingly, I asked about it in Amsterdam, was told that the store has not seen in in many years. Happy collecting!

Congratulations on acquiring the stunning green OP dial. I believe that you will eventually obtain the YM as well. In my personal opinion, the green OP is harder to get comparing to the YM.

Nice OP. Congratulations. The SS YM was the last Professional model for sale at my AD before they all vanished. I expect it will be the first to come back and will be easier to get in the meantime.

Congrats! The green OP is great.
As for the YM, I hope you get it soon. The AD that said they haven't seen one in many years is blowing some serious smoke.

YM is very available most anywhere. Great watch, just lower demand.

Have both; the blue sun-burst YM dial is fire in direct sun. The green OP is very different but still a great flattish Rolex green hue.

Held the YM, not a fan. Owned the green OP, sold it pretty quickly, didn’t like that particular green on that reference. Knowing now…I wouldn’t pick the green OP over the discontinued yellow or baby blue.

Interestingly, I am on the list for the bright blue OP41 - the combination of the two watches in your post.

I agree that Rolex makes a stunning blue sunburst dial!
