I'm currently on the waitlist for the OP41 and there are 4 reasons why I prefer it to the DJ. 1. All brushed bracelet, which to me makes it way more sporty 2. no date, I wanted a watch I can just throw on without needing to set am/pm 3 the price, its cheaper I understand for a dress watch how the DJ is better but for everyday watch give me the OP
I agree the all brushed bracelet is more sporty and better for everyday, the polished center links makes it more dressy. Also the center of the clasp is also polished making it a scratch magnet! Good luck I hope they call soon
I have the O.P.41mm in Black and it’s my favorite watch (by far…) with a suit or casual wear it looks masculine. I think my favorite aspect of the watch it looks great from the side. Unlike almost every other watch, one doesn’t need to be looking directly at the face to be a ‘good-looking' watch. I wear it six days a week, rotating my other watches on Sunday.
The OP 41 is a better looking watch than the 40 Explorer 1. Arguably, the OP 41 is one of the best Rolex's available with most versatility--dressed up or down.
Not sure if you still have access to this OP41. If can you tell me if the new Tudor rubber strap and endlinks fit it please? Both are 21mm lug width. TIA.
Ah ok, thanks for responding. I believe the latest DJ41 might also have a 21mm lug width too. Not sure if you have one? Presumably DJ and OP share same case….
I just got the Oyster perpetual with blue face. It was a touch choice between that and the explorer. I think the OP is just more versatile, More dressy but still sporty.
I wish online reviewers would stop with the nonsense. "At $6,400 it's a great value" or "At this price your getting a deal". Please. In the end it is a good watch. Exceptionally well made and finished. But can we please stop being delusional? It's a stainless steel watch for $6,400. Think about it.
If you think about it all luxury items are over priced and don't represent any "value" if you want value for you money buy a casio or timex and call it a day
Just buy what you like. People hate Teslas and I have two. I also have a BMW M3 and am shopping for a Porsche 911S. I collect watches and have several Rolexes, Panerai, Omega etc. Just buy what makes you happy.
I’m currently on a Waiting list for this OP Green 41 & or the 36 in several AD’s in Australia With virtually no chance of getting one I’m considering buying the BB 41 Burgundy on rubber strap in the meantime My eyesight isn’t great & need a daily wearer which has great Lume & a dial that’s easy to read. I’d think either would be great to dress up or wear casual Which would you recommend as the better overall Lume & Dial legibility?
I do think that the BB 41 Burgundy would be a better choice since you don't have to wait. It also has great lume and it is very legible the rubber strap is great I will have a strap review soon on it. I also just picked up the jubliee bracelet for it that I'll review soon too!
@@HawaiianHorology Thanks! makes the choice even easier now. Look forward to the strap review. I was actually thinking of buying the jubilee as well. Jubilee would be perfect for dressier occasions and rubber for casual That or pickup an Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Both would cost me around the same price of the OP.
Hello, I have the BB41 and the OP41 and I wear the BB wayyyy more. It feels more substantial on the wrist built to be worn. Don’t get me wrong the Rolex is fantastic, but I definitely have to have a reason to wear it.
Its 21mm lug width (sorry I am a lug width vigilante 😂). I love the simplicity, double batons, no date/cyclops (and 21mm lug width ; ) but it's very underwhelming if you expect too much from it. The green is too matt, and the blue too sunburst IMO. Am not keen on the bezel shape (very light reflective too) or tiny crown and its a shame its not just chamfered with a bigger crown like the EX1/DJ. Something about a basic Rolex is very cool though. I feel the same about the Tudor Ranger.
I love the OP but I just don't understand how these larger brands like rolex justify the price of their entry level models. I mean I daily drive the Ball Fireman Enterpirse. Its a 4hz movement just like this watch, has a swiss made movement (isn't in house like rolex, but its still a great movement), has great brand history, and is known as a watch with great finishing for the 1k price tag. I'd really like to own a rolex someday and Im kinda between the explorer or the OP, but its super hard to justify in my head how a slightly better grade of steel, with a SP-rated movement and longer power reserve is worth the extra 5k-6k. But then again I really prefer to only wear one watch for long periods of time (I don't rotate), so maybe these sorts of things arent a big deal for someone who plans to have many watches to scratch different itches.
I see what you mean with a rolex I believe you are getting a great well made watch with great history and reliability. For the price I don't think you can do much better than the Explorer, I have had many other lower priced watches that claimed to be "on par" or "just as good" but there has always been that little something missing like the feel of the clasp or the weight balance or the symmetry of the watch that just sets Rolex far above everything else in my opinion.
you are not paying for the watch, you are exchange money. The only watchbrand who keeps their value. If you need money again, you just sell it for the same amount.
Ball watches are fantastic but the reason why I gave it a miss is because of the proportions, the dial and the clasp. In my opinion Rolex is close to perfection.
I was on the Explorer I train... but after seeing them in person - the Explorer is a bit busy - and the OPs applied crown is just amazing. Much harder to dress up an Explorer with those large numbers - OP is more versatile.
I had this in blue and liked it. I sold it because I had too many blue watches. I thought about getting this is green as I enjoyed the comfort/case as a daily wear. I do like the mint green on the datejust better, but I'm not a fan of the cyclops. Too noticeable for me. The yellow is also awesome, but it got discontinued as well.
I sold 3 blue dials I had ... the three I kept were a JLC polaris chronograph, Seamaster Heritage 300 75th, and a Grand Seiko Omiwatari. @@HawaiianHorology
Your springbar of the explorer is bend. Better go to the AD for a new one for both sides, before you drop your watch while walking and the watch will be damaged.
My dear,if you regret your op in green i can send you my direction and or you send me free this watch,i will accept this deception with pleasure helping you stoping suffering like this,or i exchange it with my modest but iconic rolex perpetual airking 34mm,let me know,sincerly,best regards
no point spending more money for anything else, the beauty of this is its simplicity, it being cheap is just a bonus
the OP is an awesome watch!
Cheap? 7000 for a steel watch ? Are you delusional? You would buy a car that would run on Magical Fairy dust if they told you, sheep.

Black OP41 was allotted to me 1 weeks after requesting. If you want other dials, thats where the waiting game is.
wow that's really fast congrats awesome watch!
I too prefer the OP to the DJ and even Explorer. It's such a clean simple look!! Can't go wrong with that.
I love this OP green dial. I finally received mine this Sept.
awesome congrats!
Same here 👌🏻
how long was the wait ?

It is an awesome daily driver!
I cannot understand why they had to make t 41mm, add the double batons at 369 and make the lug-width 21mm.... the 39mm was PERFECT
I agree the 41 is too big and 21 lug width is crazy! I am really tempted to pick up a yachtmaster before they make it a 41 and 21 and ruin it lol
The OP 41 is a better looking watch than the 40 Explorer 1. Arguably, the OP 41 is one of the best Rolex's available with most versatility--dressed up or down.
I'm still a fan of the explorer but the OP is great
Op 36 would the best choice..
@@Super1venom For a tiny manlet sure
@@marty197666 r u say man in 40 s 50s and 60 s were all tiny manlet
The double batons at 369 crowd the dial
Not sure if you still have access to this OP41. If can you tell me if the new Tudor rubber strap and endlinks fit it please? Both are 21mm lug width. TIA.
sorry I don't have the OP anymore
Ah ok, thanks for responding. I believe the latest DJ41 might also have a 21mm lug width too. Not sure if you have one? Presumably DJ and OP share same case….

I have the same in 36mm, you made the right choice. Unless it’s a vintage Explorer, it won’t warrant the same amount of demand.

Yeah thanks 21mm make sense since all their new pieces are 41 and 21. And I agree it is a cool watch even though it is a bit basic thanks for watching
I have the OP 39. I had the choice of a few other models, but, the OP is simple it is basic and consequently a classic
great choice such a classic I wish they would bring back the 39

Ơwn 1 and love it! I’ll take this this over Rolex submariner hulk
Great choice but it would be hard for me to make that choice I love the hulk! I wish I could have got one when they were in production
Bought it preowned under retail but I got bored and sold it a year later! It’s a hyped piece definitely 😂
awesome deal!
Yep! Back in 2018 you actually can get it(Rolex 116610 lv full set for under 7k
A local watch guy is selling for 19.5 and it been sitting for months 😂😂😂
have 2 oyster perpetual green and blue, no regrets at all, probably a perfect watch
congrats!
I love the green Rolex OP 36mm it’s beautiful 🤩 😊😊
Good choice!
Regret!?!? I love it!!
Thanks
Shoulda Coulda Woulda... 😂😛 Join the club my friend.
story of my life lol
In India they dont have these its a shame
that's too bad
such an ace model. i bought it for my Dad.

one day maybe!

Great point I just wish that they would bring it back down to 39mm
You are talking like you can just go in a AD and buy one, that $6400 price tag is $15-25k on the grey market, which is the only place you can buy it.
I hope more watch become more available soon so we can all buy it at retail

Better buy an Omega

Eww op and dj in 41 is just wrong.
they fit my wrist great!
Wrong? The 41 number deceives…they are more like 39mm. On a typical male wrist the 36mm versions are tiny!
