New arrival - Rolex OP41

[rico]

I picked this up a few days ago and I am very happy with. It’s taking a few days to get used to the size it wears - it’s broadly the same as my 14060m but the solid end links ‘project’ around the wrist more than the hollow links on the Submariner and feels as if it wears a touch bigger. The fit and finish is perfect.

Few quick and dirty pics:

Very nice congratulations

Great watch. I do feel we will start to see these filter through

I am on waiting list for green, but my colleague, has the silver dial with gold markers and it looks fantastic
Congratulations on a great pickup

Very nice. I'm 'waiting' for the blue dial. I really like the silver dial too but I think it would wear larger being a lighter colour dial. I'm tempted to look at a silver op36 as that could be the one. Anyway, enjoy!

Lovely watch but I found the one I had wore to big on my 7 1/4 wrist due to being all dial.

The OP36 for me personally wears better on my wrist.

Understood. I haven't tried a current op36 on yet but I tried a dj36 on recently (black dial smooth on jubilee) and it felt tiny. Very odd experience because I've never considered the dj36 to be too small. I am wearing bigger watches now though so it could be relative. That said I tried the green dial op41 on a few weeks ago and it felt OK size wise. I think the OP line can get away with being a little bigger as they are sportier than the DJ line.

I was waiting over a year!

[M1011]

I like this. Something about the simpler Rolex watches has really grown on me. They just scream comfortable daily wear.

[Stringer]

Nice-looking watch.

I like that at a casual glance it’s probably not immediately recognisable by most as a Rolex.

Much as I like the Professional / Sport lines, this type of watch has versatility and for me is classic, quintessential Rolex.

[rico]

Thanks all. It hasn't left my wrist since I got it and i'm really enjoying the proportions and clean lines. An underrated reference in my opinion!

[100thmonkey]

Thats a cool, classic in anyones book, congratulations

[pete-r]

I absolutely love that, congrats.

It’s like a dressed up Explorer 1. Stunning and the new 2021/22 spec AR is so much nicer on these.

I’m hoping for a silver 36 as a daily wearer but it’s been 9 months waiting and still no baby!!!

[DigitalSeb]

That’s a great NWA mate - congrats!

Such a good looking model. Congrats!

You are lucky. I put my name down for one in March 2020. 2 years on and I've totally given up...I suspect my spend wasn't enough to make me float to the top of the list and I doubt that I'm on the list any more!

You could have been enjoying a watch from a different brand every day for two years. Crazy isn't it.

Or he could actually want that watch and that’s it. Very simple really, if it’s the one it’s the one. I am waiting on a Patek, lots of other watches out there; but they are not what I am after. So I will bide my time and enjoy it when it arrives. We seem to have lost the ability to wait for things.

OP it’s a lovely reference and very elegant and stealth.

How long would you bother waiting? TaketheCannoli was responding to my comment about waiting for 2-years and having doubts that I’m even still on the list, having presumably been continually bumped down the list by preferential customers. With a wait of 2-years and counting, I’d argue I’m not demonstrating that I have lost the ability to wait for things!

The comment about waiting is a general comment not aimed at yourself. I have been waiting approx 4 years for a particular Patek and I reckon I will be awaiting a few more years. But that’s fine and I am happy to continue to do so, I know I am knocked of the priority list for these because I turned one down as it was not the right time for me.

My daytona the first one I purchased was a PM one as it was easier to get and could get it straight away. I subsequently waited 7 years for a SS one; after that they started flowing a bit quicker.

Ah…I think I’d be happy to wait as long as it took, but I’m not one to continually pester dealers to find out where I am on a waiting list as it seems to be policy to never give you straight answers anyway. As I haven’t enquired, I doubt I’m even on the list any more…technically, I’ve probably got more chance acquiring one through the Rolex bubble bursting before the AD calls me!

[cannondale]

Great looking watch, exactly what i'm wanting for, please ring phone.......

[al1991]

Lovely watch, and worth the year long wait no doubt.

At the very beginning of lockdown I ummed and ahhed about the previous, 39mm version of this, which was for sale with Blowers at the time for £4,250.

You can imagine how much I'm regretting not buying that one!

Enjoy the watch.

[rico]

Thanks again for the nice comments.

I said I was waiting over a year to buy one, not to get a call ;)

[donsaini]

Lovely timepiece, enjoy

Looks great 👍

Such a classic piece. Simple elegance.

Agreed. I've been wearing an Explorer for well over a month with no desire whatsoever to change it), and only took it off yesterday to give an Apple Watch a chance (just got the latter, and really like it).

[Pan16520]

great piece
