Have you seen the prices lately? Discontinued yellow and red 41s are still asking 3X MSRP or more. Yellow was next on my list but I missed my AD window.

Not sure yellow is appropriate for this guy’s lifestyle. He wants one Rolex. Black, silver, grey, or white would be good. Dark blue would also work.

I have a black OP. It's a great watch. Really versatile.

Not my photo but you can see how good it looks:

Nice, is that the 41?

[marmite2005]

Plenty of good choices, Blue, Silver or Black.
I love my Yellow 36mm OP.
I would recommend going new, 5 year warranty etc.

Alternatively look at a DJ, more choice of dials, bracelet, bezel

I have a green 41, which I love. But that black looks awesome!

36”. Personally I think that’s the best size for this watch. Please try it on if possible before committing to a 41”.

I have a green 36”, I agree it’s a lovely watch.

Here is mine. After 3 months of ownership, longer I have it the more I enjoy wearing it

The OP is my favourite watch in the current catalogue. If any Rolex went to the top of Everest with Hillary (doubtful), it was the OP, not the Explorer.

Here's my 2017 OP 39, blue dial.

Which do you wear more?

sure its a versatile watch, from office to the supermarket!

For a "one and done", everyday wearer, black is hard to beat.

I’ve tried on a 41 and it was too big, would like to try a 39. Can I ask what your wrist size is?

I wear the black more than the green, but I do enjoy wearing the green, feels fun to have a bit of color.

I wear my silver OP the most though. It's stunning.

I was LITERALLY going to say that. I was so torn, green was my first choice with silver as a backup but I was suspecting that silver might be the best way to go. The gold hands are so elegant. Kate has one I and love it; I'm thinking of asking for a 36 to go with my 41 green. But I don't know if that would be dumb or if it's better to look for a secondary, more sport style Rolex. How many do you own? I have a Black Seal Panerai from 2006 but since I got the OP I can't see myself putting on the Panerai.

Silver is ruined by those gold hands and indices would recommend OP stay away from that one.

I'm going to buy all the current OPs, including the two they retired.

I just like the OPs (a great, no BS watch) and I'll give the colourful ones to my kids and wife at some point... maybe.

Oh no! The gold indices make it look spectacular in real life.

Photos and videos of the watch don't do it justice. It looks amazing when on your wrist.

Rhodesium grey 39 - preowned (2015)
Black 41 - new
Watch intended for everyday wear occasionally dressed up.
What’s your opinion?

The black OP is the ultimate strap monster and a lot of fun playing around with straps. I have the 39mm and I usually wear it with a IWC style military canvas strap that looks awesome... but then dress it up with a black or brown aligator strap and it becomes a very classy watch. I would recommend the black 39mm, I find its symmetry a bit better than the new 41mm, but of course I'm biased...

Nice, is that lume green or blue and is the crystal AR coated?

I’ve seen it in real life and would never wear it

Wrist shots, please!

I have been looking at the green 41.

More than doubtful, downright disproven.
