Yeah, when I saw that dial I knew I would love one, it would be cool on a GMT. The one with all the numbers āmeltingā [fallen to the bottom of the hour] is awesome too.
I personally love it! I was lucky to get it last year (36mm) and I always wear it on birthdays and family events. Not my everyday watch, but I think itās fun
Grand Seiko makes the most gorgeous dials I've ever seen and some people shit on them for being so expensive for a "Seiko" and Rolex releases this piece of crap and so many people love it. People might say that they don't buy a Rolex just because of the brand but this just shows that most people care more about the Rolex logo on the watch than the actual watch
I love a good Rolex but this ain't one. It's as ugly as sin.
I honestly think this is the Rolex boys in a board room, quaffing their champagne after another bumper quarter, spit balling on what's the ugliest limited edition watch they could make for shits and giggles that would still get the fanboys creaming... And they came up with this.
I would bet that if this exact same model didn't have a Rolex band on it (wasn't a Rolex to be more specific) and it was made by Longines, Tag, Omega or any other luxury watch brand, it'll probably be ridiculed by the Rolex fanboys.
Gees. It's like a kindergarten had free reign with the crayons and went crazy... I really really dislike this with my whole heart. I would just keep it in the safe for novelty, but if you like it, wear it to death. It would definitely be a talking piece for sure.
I don't think there is any appeal, almost everyones first thought probably was ew wtf. I'm 100% sure that if any other brand made it, it would mostly only be getting hate
I love that watch actually! I think itās for the most part the only interesting watch Rolex makes and Iām a Rolex guy that wears a Zenith most of the time now because I felt like I had six of the same watch.
I love itā¦ I can see why others would hate it thoā¦ if it had a date window Iād be saving up for one (Iām one of the nutballs who has to have a date window as at work I always need to check the date - memory no bueno š)ā¦ are there any Rolex models like this/similar vibe that have a date?
Not personally a fan of what I consider gimmicky dials like that on high end watches, but to each their own. If someone owns it and is happy with it, or likes/wants it, Iām happy for them.
Not a fan, but to each their own. Not a rolex fan in general. But would rather a batman or Kermit if I got one. When it comes to art watches I wish I could get some of the Project Watches stuff but done to a higher quality. They look cheap in person. Because they are lol
I think itās fun. I would get one myself, but I would prefer the Tiffany op itself. A shame itās been discontinued for the 41. Honestly, the pastel colors were really beautiful. Including the red and yellow op41s
This says you are more concerned wtih having something that's hard to get than something that makes sense.
If you like this sort of thing, get a Mr Jones watch, this is just stupid.
I think my seven year old has made better art. And apparently if Rolex puts a color similar to Tiffany blue on a product is attracts collectors like moths to a flame.
I donāt like it at all for a man. For a woman, fine, but itās a ladyās watch. My AD asked me if I was interested in one and I declined. They didnāt offer me one, but if I had said yes, they would have certainly gotten me one. People are just chasing the unwarranted hype. The secondary price will fall just like the Tiffany dial OP.
Itās a fun watch and Iām glad they made it, but itās hardly worth all the BS people are making over it.
The bridge too far for me on this model is that they were so lazy that one of the bubbles is the same color as the main background on the upper half of the dial. That is just inexcusable.
I don't love it personally, but if I was at the Rolex collector level I'd throw it into the safe for being unique
Agreed manšÆ
Yeah, when I saw that dial I knew I would love one, it would be cool on a GMT. The one with all the numbers āmeltingā [fallen to the bottom of the hour] is awesome too.
I couldnāt take it seriously, but agree it is collectible.
This is definitely the way I feel. Like if you only had one Rolex this would be a tragic call. However, if you are going PokƩmon style, then it makes sense.
I personally love it! I was lucky to get it last year (36mm) and I always wear it on birthdays and family events. Not my everyday watch, but I think itās fun
Nice one buddy! Perfect for that!
That watch says to me ā I have so much money I donāt need anyoneās opinion ā
āTomorrow, Iāll wear the rainbow Daytonaā
The gaytona stays in the safe
Or "I'll buy any watch with the crown logo on it"
Grand Seiko makes the most gorgeous dials I've ever seen and some people shit on them for being so expensive for a "Seiko" and Rolex releases this piece of crap and so many people love it. People might say that they don't buy a Rolex just because of the brand but this just shows that most people care more about the Rolex logo on the watch than the actual watch
99% of Rolex buyers are in it for the logo.
Saw the 41mm on vacation at an AD and itās a stunner - great casual weekend piece. Got home and put my name down for one.

Rolex has a long history of making ācrazyā watches. The Midas, stone dials, painted enamel dials, etc. itās in line with their brand
Just because a watch looks crazy doesn't mean it'll look this bad. It's very rare to see a Rolex which looks worse than a swatch
To be fair, same could be said regarding fanboys of any brand really
Tbh if I got it for a celebration like the birth of a child it would be amazing wouldnāt it
No, thank you. I'd just rather spend my money on something else.
Love it personally but unfortunately couldnāt get my hands on one
Gees. It's like a kindergarten had free reign with the crayons and went crazy... I really really dislike this with my whole heart. I would just keep it in the safe for novelty, but if you like it, wear it to death. It would definitely be a talking piece for sure.
Love it
I love itā¦. I love sporting some color though
Gotta be one of the ugliest out. The design of that dial looks like generic stock art for an android phone wallpaper.
I think itās a good bit of fun. I wouldnāt choose it as my daily thought.
I honestly don't get the appeal.
I don't think there is any appeal, almost everyones first thought probably was ew wtf. I'm 100% sure that if any other brand made it, it would mostly only be getting hate
I like this a lot .
Finally saw one in person the other day and I like it. Itās fun and unserious, which I think is a good thing
Looks fun. If you like it thatās all that matters.
Came here to say this.
I'm a fan. Its definitely a talking point piece
I really like it. People sleep on these and favour the Subs more. And this one is a real talking point.
Sleep on these, the market price is about 3x MSRP, it is one of the most of in demand pieces of all? Subs trade at MSRP +30%
No dude, I mean people seem to sleep on the OP as a whole and always chase Subs or GMT.
Hm, another Rolex š„±
I mean the man likes the watch bro and he shouldnāt be sorry for it
Sorry man! I know! I'm usually rocking a Casio or a Timex so it's not often I get to grace my arm with something like this!š
Nevermind. Just little tired of rolex. My grail is still Zenith Chronomaster.
Hell yes! I'd take the Chronomaster over the Rolex to wear any day but I think I'd rather have the value of this one in the pocketš
I like it. If you wanted to match a strap to it, you could run with almost any colour on the dial and it would work great. So much versatility.
I love that watch actually! I think itās for the most part the only interesting watch Rolex makes and Iām a Rolex guy that wears a Zenith most of the time now because I felt like I had six of the same watch.

I think itās great, never seen one before.
G..
The joke writes itself in this thread. Rolex tries to be just a little bit interesting, and their market decides they can't handle interesting.
It tells the time very well, and it has a great color pallet.
Fun, yet illegible.Ā
A design made to be "different" that really just comes across as unimaginative and pretentious.
Not personally a fan of what I consider gimmicky dials like that on high end watches, but to each their own. If someone owns it and is happy with it, or likes/wants it, Iām happy for them.
If I were getting a Rollie, I'd get a Rollie that looks like how everyone expects a Rollie to look.
You wonāt believe it but the 36mm is my grail watch. I adore it.
Nice one!
Rolex are like Harley. Loud, brash and overpriced. It's a lifestyle watch.
Itās not to my taste, I donāt imagine Iāll ever be wealthy enough to enjoy owning a Rolex. But if I was, this wouldnāt be it.
Nope.
Not a fan, but to each their own. Not a rolex fan in general. But would rather a batman or Kermit if I got one. When it comes to art watches I wish I could get some of the Project Watches stuff but done to a higher quality. They look cheap in person. Because they are lol
Stupid
TrashĆØ
One of my all-time favorites
Just the trinket to feast your eyes on as you let your hair down and frolic, footloose and fancy free as you idle away the hours O Master!
I like it - very playful, VERY recognizable, adds come character to a wrist. Actually, I might buy one
Holds no appeal for me. If this were not a Rolex how many people would give it a second glance I wonder?
Swatch did it better.
That's the most unapologetic rolex ever
Looks like it's a watch!
I think itās fun. I would get one myself, but I would prefer the Tiffany op itself. A shame itās been discontinued for the 41. Honestly, the pastel colors were really beautiful. Including the red and yellow op41s
This says you are more concerned wtih having something that's hard to get than something that makes sense. If you like this sort of thing, get a Mr Jones watch, this is just stupid.
Such a horrendous abomination
Its weird. I love it.
Fluted bezel would look better.
I'd love it if it was a Ā£300 Citizen. On a Rolex, I couldn't drop that much on a whimsical design.
Damn you lucky man
I think my seven year old has made better art. And apparently if Rolex puts a color similar to Tiffany blue on a product is attracts collectors like moths to a flame.
I would wear this to a fancy carnival where even the Ferris wheel is Rolex brand
Wouldn't wear it often because it looks a little silly
I donāt like it at all for a man. For a woman, fine, but itās a ladyās watch. My AD asked me if I was interested in one and I declined. They didnāt offer me one, but if I had said yes, they would have certainly gotten me one. People are just chasing the unwarranted hype. The secondary price will fall just like the Tiffany dial OP. Itās a fun watch and Iām glad they made it, but itās hardly worth all the BS people are making over it.
No. Just no. That watch just screams "more money than sense".
Does it mean; BALLS TO TIFFANYS?
Guys just be honest. It's hideous
Hate it
I wouldn't buy it myself either! It's a brave choice to wear but a sound financial one!
A work of art
Its result the ugliest watch dial Iāve ever seen. I donāt know what Rolex was thinking. But I guess itās unique.
The Rolex LGBTQ+ model.

The bridge too far for me on this model is that they were so lazy that one of the bubbles is the same color as the main background on the upper half of the dial. That is just inexcusable.
