I'm thinking of getting the new Oyster Perpetual with a red or yellow dial. Are they hard to get hold of from ADs, has anyone bought one yet?
Cheers
James
Apparently the 36mm will be easy, demand for the 41mm is quite strong at the minute. 5-10 names for the bright colours at my AD. Apparently :)
Saw the yellow dial at my Ad yesterday. I like em.
Hi James
How’s it going?
Have you been into M&W, I got very little from them when I popped in there the other day however that was just after the new watch announcements. It might be worth a chat with them to see if they can source a specific colour for you?
They do seem to be seeing a lot more stock than usual, certainly I’ve heard of a few SS sports being picked up over the last couple of weeks.
Take care

Not easy to get yet. Going over list at the moment. I’m after a Tiffany blue and maybe a yellow.

Hi Duncan,
Im ok thanks and you?
I don't have a great relationship with them anymore. Despite sending a fortune with them over the years. I bought an Omega cheap from them in the sale, sold it on here (for less) and that person contacted them direct and since then they don't want to sell me anything decent. In all honesty its no big deal, the whole game with Rolex ADs is tiresome. I have bought my last 3 DateJusts from grey dealers in the UK, US and Monaco all fine.
Think I will do the same on this one.
Cheers
James
Bought the 36mm with the red dial. Will post up pictures when it comes.
I’m good thanks, bit of island fever setting in. I also have two young daughters on the mainland and haven’t seen them since Feb, so that’s a real nightmare.
Look forward to seeing the watch, really interested to see what they look like in the flesh.
Have a good evening.

Friend of mine picked up a 41mm Blue dial today.
Expressed an interest just post launch and was told "maybe 2021" but it came in this week and he's got it on the wrist today. Looked very nice in the pics he sent me.
I feel those vibrant coloured dials feel cheap and swatchy.
The dials are not even sunburst ffs. The olive green looks nothing like the one on the President models. Its a dull hebe green.
Having seen the OP releases in person, they are as unimpressive in real life as they were in the images released. The coral(Red) is the same colour as a supermarket tomato soup! and the Yellow looks like the colour Skoda used about a decade ago.
With numerous manufacturers already having released models in the similar colour spectrum to these Rolex models, but mind you I have not heard anyone rushing out to get the Nomos (Tiffany) Tetra etc, these are clearly directed at the instant fashion crowd.
The Beach Daytona Rolex which came with a Mother of pearl dials were impressive and very clearly designed for the Female buyers who were looking for some serious glam on the wrist when they were released.
I think it is a smart release from Rolex. OK, they may not appeal to many on the forum, but Rolex recognise demand is driven by fashion and instagram more so thatn a watch form. These watches are ideal for that purpose.
Spoke to my local dealer about these releases out of interest - I am not in the market. They have already sold out their full allocation until Christmas. So next year before any further are going to get one and there are already waiting lists especially for the two largest sizes.
Would be nice if we see a load of Rolex colour in shop windows, but who knows if and when we will get to that stage.
My wife bought this 41mm today. Its lovely and subtle in the green and wears really nicely. Its a perfect size.
Pick of the new colours for me. Fair play to your wife for picking a colour you will wear as well! :)

I haven't seen any of the new OPs in person yet but from pics I've seen the green is the pick of the bunch. Best of luck with the new business.
I have the green dial on order as per the recommendation form my AD. He reckons it’s absolutely stunning in the flesh and looking at those photos I would tend to agree.
I also really like the yellow although not sure if it’s a bit too brash !!
Also ordered the green OP,any idea of wait time.My AD said 6-12 months,but possibly 3 .
That’s a very Rolex Green! Looks good and a bit different
That's really nice James. Quite loud but very cool and different for a Rolex.
I rather like them. Attractive , bright, colours. But will they age well or just seem temporary fashions?
Hard to know at the moment. Worth a gamble.
Really like that . Perfect size for you. Can I ask was it a blind buy or did you see it at an AD before you bought it? I really like the silver dial but need to see it first (plus try the 41mm too which is sure to be too big for my 7 inch wrists but want to check to make sure).
Both of those look great. I'd happily wear either. I also like the look of the Yellow as well.
Someone somewhere will be putting together a set of these...
I was really dismissive of these at first but the real world pics have changed my mind.
I feel a little of the opposite. I normally
Love green and my name is down for one, but I wish it was sunburst like the 34mm was
I think my favourite is the green dial but the red looks really nice also.
On release I showed my 15 year old daughter and she fell in love with the Tiffany blue. My AD knows they have until March to get me one. Fingers crossed
I was a bit the same, have my name down for a green now. They look great on the wrist pictures here.

Local AD had a green on Monday for a customer but I couldn’t get in to see it in the metal. Be interested in your thoughts when you do.

I think that this colour version of the Rolex are approached more for young people and for sports. Old guys like me make difficult to wear one but looks nice.
